CoFFEA ($ Exsertee: Perennes) SWYNNERTONII, S. Moore, sp. nov. 
Frutex ramulis superne foliosis teretibus cito fere glabris (novellis viscidis) 
cortice cinereo transversim rupto circumdatis, foliis parvis oblongis vel 
oblongo-lanceolatis obtusis basi in petiolum brevem attenuatis tenuiter 
coriaceis utrobique fere omnino glabris costis secundariis utrinque 4-5 inferi- 
oribus ascendenti-areuatis superioribus patentibus costa marginali a margine 
satis distante anfractuoso, stipulis a basi lata subulatis rigidis, floribus iisdem 
temporibus ac folia genitis in axillis sepius 2-4 breviter pedunculatis, 
calyculo simplici pedunculo inserto ore dentato, ovario ut calyculus calyx- 
que secremento viscido obducto hemisphærico, calycis limbo brevissimo 
obscure denticulato, corollæ glabræ tubo infundibulari lobis 8-9 anguste 
ovato-oblongis obtusis quam tubus paullo longioribus, staminibus 8-9 exsertis 
filamentis quam antheræ fere 4-plo brevioribus antheris oblongis obtusis, 
styli exserti ramis elongatis linearibus, bacca anguste ovoideo-oblonga 
exsucca disperma. 
Hab. Near Chirinda under cultivation at 3000 ft. ; Madanda forests at 
about 400 ft.; fl. Oct., fr. Dec. ; nos. 578, 2133. 
Folia summum 23:5 x 1:2 cm., modica 2:5 х1 cm., pag. sup. punctis albis 
microscopicis copiosissime induta, in sieco supra subolivacea vel brunnea, 
subtus pallidiora ; petioli circa 2 mm. long.  Stipule 2-2:5 mm. long. 
Pedunculi 1:5-2 mm. long.  Calyculus vix 1 mm. long. Flores albi. 
Ovarium 1 mm. long. Calycis limbus 0:2 mm. long. Corolle tubus 7 mm. 
long., basi 1'5 mm., faucibus 4:5 mm. lat.; lobi summum 9 mm. long. 
Filamenta 1:5 mm., antheree 5-6 mm. long. Stylus 11 mm. long. ; stigmatis 
rami 5 mm. Васса 9 mm. long., 6:5 mm. lat. Semina 5'5 mm. long., 
fusco-grisea. 
To be inserted next C. stenophylla, G. Don, from which it differs chiefly 
in the much smaller not caudate-acuminate leaves, the short stipules, the 
short-toothed calyculus, and the smaller berries and seeds. 
№. 2133 is the plant in flower; n. 578 is surmised by Mr. Swynnerton, 
and I believe correctly, to be the fruiting state. N. 579 (in fruit) from 
Malata near the mouth of the Buzi (the * Inyambane coffee " of settlers) 
may perhaps be a form of the same with somewhat larger leaves (up to 
4:0x 2 em.). 
“ This coffee grows wild in quantities on the Juababa River, Portuguese 
E. Africa, at about 1000 ft. Seed brought thence a few years ago." The 
coffee yielded by these berries is said to be of excellent quality.
