90 DR. OTTO STAPF ON 
2 lin. longi. Petala 1 lin. longa. ovato-oblonga, obtusa. Stigma 
sessile. 
Within 6 miles of Monrovia, Whyte. 
Professor Engler mentions, in * Natürliche Pflanzenfamilien,' 
Nachtr. p. 143, under Opilia a species with long pendulous 
racemes which he calls O. Afzelii. It is evidently a species of 
Urobotrya; but, in the absence of a description, I am not 
able to identify it. Another species of the same genus was col- 
leeted by Kalbreyer near Victoria, Cameroons. I add here its 
description :—
