Kab. Usagara Mountains, Mr. Last ; Kilimanjaro, Bishop 



Sannington* 



The Kilimanjaro specimens are a little more robust than those 

 from the Cameroons and Usagara ; but too little has been seen 

 to be certain that they belong to one apecies-

Hah. Kilimanjaro, perfectly fruited, Bishop Hannington. 



In size, colour, ramification, aiid foliage the specimens agree so 

 closely with Mexican, that it is impossible to avoid the conclusion 

 that they belong to the same species j and the question at once 

 arises are the Braunia sciuroides of S. Europe, the B. indica, so 

 luxuriant in the Nilgiri Mountains, and the Abyssinian B. Sehim- 

 peri really different, or are they not rather most probably slight 

 variations of one wide-spread species ? 



H. (§ Euhedwigia) ciliata, Ehrh. 



Hah. Kilimanjaro, Bishop Hannington. In no way different 

 from European specimens.
