and some other characters. Mrs. Orpen’s plant, from the same 
locality as Burchell’s but gathered sixty years later, agrees in 
every respect with his specimens, save that the leaves area little 
narrower in proportion to their breadth. 
TILIACER. 
TRIUMFETTA SONDERIANA, Bolus.—T. trichocarpa, Sond. in 
Linnea, xxiii. p. 19.—Under the latter name Hochstetter had 
already published an Abyssinian species, in Rich. Fl. Abyss. 
i. 84. Sonder’s name must therefore be replaced.

ker, in herb. Kew.—W. E. Brown.] 
A well-marked species with rigid leaves and remarkably small 
clusters of axillary flowers. The petals are a creamy white, and 
the calyx is nearly the same colour. The venation on the under- 
side of the leaves and the reflexion of the margin are chiefly 
brought out in drying.
