18 DR. HOOKER ON THE VEGETATION 
certainly his plant. It differs from its very near ally P. cerulea of Abyssi- 
nia in the large flowers and calyx and dense pubescence; from the Cape 
P. reticulata in the petiolate and broader leaves. 
4. Calamintha Simensis, Benth. in DC. Prodr. xii. 230. 
Hab. Clarence Peak. alt. 8500 ped. (fl. Dec.) 
Herba 2-pedalis, corolla purpurea. 
This in no way differs from Abyssinian specimens, and is very nearly 
allied to the European C. Acinus, Benth. 
5. Sracuys (STACHYOTYPUS) ACULEOLATA, H.f. Caule tenui pro- 
cumbente elongato petiolisque retrorsum aculeolatis, foliis petiolatis 
ovato-cordatis obtusis grosse crenatis, verticillastris sessilibus sub 3- 
floris, floribus breve pedicellatis, calyce obconico subzequaliter 5-dentato 
lobis spinulosis, corolla tubo exserto, labio inferiore porrecto amplo 
trilobo lobo medio bilobo. 
Hab. Clarence Peak, alt. 9000 ped. (fl. Dec.) 
Herba parce ramosa, 1'-2' longa. Folia distantia, 1-13" longa, fere 
zquilata, petiolo pollicari. Verticillastra pauca, distantia, axillaria. 
Flores 3" long., pallido purpurei tubo: longe supra basin intus bar- 
bato, extus piloso. Anthere divaricate. 
This is the same with an undescribed Abyssinian species collected by 
Dr. Roth; but the stem is more slender, the petioles longer, the calyx - 
rather smaller; I have no corolla in the Abyssinian specimen. 
SOLANE. 
1. Solanum Indicum, L. Var. micranthum. 
Hab. Fernando Po, alt. 6000 ped. 
Frutex 6-8-pedalis, floribus albis. 
Common throughout Tropical Africa, and probably not different from 
S. Adoense of Abyssinia. 
ÅCANTHACES. 
l. Dicliptera maculata, Nees.? A. Rich. Fl. Abyss. ii. 158. 
Var. Glanduloso-pilosa, floribus majoribus. 
Hab. Fernando Po, alt. 5000 ped. (fl. Dec.) 
Scandens 20-pedalis, corolla alba. 
Apparently quite the same as the Abyssinian plant, but the flowers are 
either larger or owe their appearance of being so to better drying. In the 
Fernando specimens all parts are pilose and glandulose, in Abyssinian 
ones glabrous, but in A. Richard's character they are stated to be covered 
with cottony hairs. In the Fernando Po and one Abyssinian specimen the 
involucralleaves are quite obtuse and muticous, in another Abyssinian 
they are obscurely mucronate, and in a third ovate and pungent. Perhaps 
more than one species is included under this name.
