shape of the leaves, which are cuneate obovate and very shortly petioled 
and terminate by three short lobes directed forwards. Flowers are 
difficult to find on our material. 
The following clavis indicates the position of these two novelties in relation 
to the nearest allies. All are pilose or generally sericeo-pilose and have 
brown, membranous, sheathing stipules. 
* Folia cuneato-obovata brevissime trilobata, lobis laminam stricte terminantibus. 
ALCHEMILLA SUBNIVALIS, Sp. nov. Mt. Ruwenzori. 
** Folia tripartita, lobis lateralibus quam lobo centrali angustioribus illius 
margine integro. 
* Lobo centrali late oblanceolato usque ad 3-5 mm. trifido.

In addition to the plants already mentioned, Mr. G. F. Scott Elliot collected 
on Mt. Ruwenzori at 7000-10,000 ft. a plant which seems to agree closely with 
А. Volkensii, Engler, the chief difference being the carpels in the plant from 
Ruwenzori are more numerous.
