The Cameroons specimens contain excellent fruit, from which 
I learn that the small capsules alluded to in the Fernando Po 
plant were imperfectly developed ; those now sent are very similar 
to P. Senacia of Mauritius, from which, however, as before ob- 
served, the species differs widely in the inflorescence and small 
flowers.
