CLEISTANTHUS APETALUS, 5, Moore, sp. nov. 
Arbuscula ramulis ultimis gracilibus aliquanto anfractuosis pendentibus. 
fulvo-sericeo-pubescentibus, foliis brevipetiolatis oblongo-lanceolatis superne 
caudato-attenuatis apice obtusis ipso mucronulatis basi obtusis leviterve 
rotundatis papyraceis deinde tenuiter coriaceis margine sparsim ciliata 
necnon nervis puberulis exemptis utrobique glabris, stipulis perspicuis lineari- 
lanceolatis longe acuminatis fulvo-sericeis diutule persistentibus, floribus 
masculis in axillis ramulorum brevium fertilium fulvo-sericeorum solitariis 
binisve, bracteis parvulis subulatis fugaceis, sepalis inter se sspe inzequalibus 
oblongis oblanceolatisve obtusiusculis extus dense fulvo-sericeis, petalis 0, 
disco prominente, antheris ovato-oblongis obtusis quam filamenta suffulcientia 
longioribus. 
Hab. Zona River, Jihu, 2300 ft. ; in fl. Nov. ; n. 150. 
Folia solemniter 6-8 em. long., 1'7-2*5 em. lat., in sicco subcastanea vel 
brunneo-viridia ; coste ordinis secundi utrinque 5-7, valde arcuate, a 
margine satis distantes ; reticulum mediocriter densum, utrinsecus sat 
prominens ; petioli cirea 5 mm. long., fulvo-sericel. риа 7-9 mm. long. 
Ваши! fertiles cirea 1 em. long. Вгасёеа 1 mm. vix :equantes ; pedicelli 
cirea 2 mm. long. Sepala 4 mm. long., filamenta 1 mm., antherz vix 2 mm. 
Near to C. angolensis, Müll. Arg., for which it might almost be taken. 
This has, however, coarser branchlets devoid of fulvous silky pubescence, 
more markedly coriaceous leaves, longer flowering branchlets, and some- 
what larger male flowers provided with small petals. 
Owing to insufficient material, I am unable fully to describe the female 
flower. The ovary is subglobose, densely covered with tawny hairs and 
2 mm. in length.

basi haud productis ascendentibus, floribus masculis solummodo obviis in 
axillis vulgo 2-4-nis pedunculis quam folia plane brevioribus insidentibus,
