with remarks L the Ampelidee of Angola and Benguella. By 
Dr. Wetwitsca, A.L.S. 
[Read Dec. 17, 1863.] 
Amone the numerous groups of plants which more or less affect 
the physiognomy of the vegetation of Western Africa the Ampe- 
lidew and Cissacez hold a prominent position. They are interest- 
ing also to phytographists, from the fact that the numerous species 
of Cissus, by their varied habit and mode of growth, characterize 
the three great botanical regions into which, in my opinion, the 
district of Angola and Benguella must be divided. 
The entire number of species of Ampelide» found by me in the 
above-named countries amounts to about forty, in which, however, 
are included two species of Leea, and a very remarkable plant 
which occurs upon the high sandy plains of the district of Ambaca, 
and which ought probably to constitute a new genus. 
These forty species of Ampelidez are spread over a space of
