218 DR. J. D. HOOKER ON THE PLANTS 
46. MYRIOEX. 
l. Myrica SALICIFOLIA, Hochst., A. Rich. Fl. Abyss. ii. 277. 
Hab. Cameroons Mountains, alt. 7000-8000 feet. (Fl. Dec., Jan.) 
A tree 20-80 feet high, identical with the Abyssinian, which is 
described as a tall tree with variable foliage, growing in cold 
mountain districts. 
47, CONIFERS. 
l. PonocanPus Manni, H. f.,n. sp. Foliis anguste elongato-lan- 
ceolatis 3-5-pollicaribus 1-1 unc. latis lente falcatis acuminatis mucro- 
natis l-nerviis utrinque lucidis. 
Hab. St. Thomas's Island, summit of the Peak, alt. 7500 feet. 
Ramuli tenues, angulati. Folia subdisticha, coriacea, nervo latiusculo, 
petiolo basi semitorto. 
The present discovery of Mr. Mann’s negatives the observation 
of Brown, that Coniferous plants are absent in Western tropical 
Africa; and I may here remark that this indefatigable collector 
has also added Laurinee@ to the same flora, an order equally 
supposed by Brown to be absent in that region of the globe. 
The present plant approaches so closely to the South-African 
Podocarpus falcatus, Br., that I should not be surprised if it 
merged intoit; but the leaves are much larger, longer, flaccid, and 
lucid, and there are stomata on both surfaces of the leaf, which 
(aecording to Endlicher, Syn. Conif. 218) is not the case with 
P. falcatus. From the Cape P. elongatus, Hérit., which small-leaved 
specimens closely resemble, it differs in the lucid, very large, long, 
and acuminate leaves. 
There is another species of Podocarpus in Abyssinia, referred 
to P. elongatus by A. Richard (Fl. Abyss. ii. 278), which is iden- 
tical in foliage with the Cape plant, but which differs in the fruit 
being shortly stipitate. 
MONOCOTYLEDONES. 
48. OncurpEx. 
1. Liparis Capensis, Lindl. (Zeyher, 3887). 
Hab. Cameroons Mountains, alt. 6000—7000 feet. (Frt. Dec.) 
A small species, in fruit only, but clearly the same as L. Capensis. 
2. BoLBoPHYLLUM (PriLOGLOSSUM) TENUICAULE, Lindl, in Journ. 
Linn. Soc. vi. 126. 
Hab. Fernando Po, alt. 5000 feet, 
3. BoLBoPpHYLLUM (PrrLoGLossUM) MANNII, H. f. Pseudobulbis 
teretiusculis elongatis 2-phyllis, foliis 4-6-pollicaribus linearibus,
