106 DR. OTTO STAPF ON 
j liu. longa, in fruetu haud aucta, ovata, obtusiuscula. Corolla 
angustissime infundibuliformis, 5 lin. longa, extus sparse adpresse 
pilosa; lobi ovati, acuti, 1 lin. longi. Fructus globosus, 14 lin. 
diametro. 
Near Monrovia and in the Sinoe Basin, Whyte. Also in the 
Gold Coast near Akwapim, at 1400 feet, Murphy (herb. Johnson, 
679). 
This might be treated as a variety, like the following species. 
Sabicea lasiocalyx, Stapf (sp. nov.); affinis S. ferruginec, 
Benth., differt ramulis pedunculisque patule hirsutis, receptaculo 
et calycis tubo æque adpresse albo-tomentosis et preterea uti 
calycis segmentis longe hirsutis, capitulo compacto. 
Ramuli adpresse hirsuta pilis longis patulis additis, ferruginei. 
Folia late oblonga vel elliptiea, subaeuminata, basi rotundata, 
6-8 poll. longa, 23-4 poll. lata, supra costa hirsutiuscula 
excepta glabrata exsiccando nigrescentia, subtus cinnamomea 
adpresse lanato-tomentosa pilis tenuibus longioribus nonnullis 
additis, nervis lateralibus utrinque cireiter 20, marginem versus 
prorsus curvatis venis transversis obscuris; petioli 3-1 poll. 
longi, dense hirsuti; stipule foliacee late ovate, acuminate, ad 
i poll. longe, dorso hirsute. Capitula densa, pedunculo 11-4 
poll. longo eodem indumento ae ramulis induto; bractex in- 
volucrantes rotundato-ovatæ, longe tenuiter acuminate, 3-1 poll. 
longs, dorso tomentose et simul patule hirsute. Flores arcte 
congesti, sessiles. Receptaculum uti calycis tubus æque adpresse 
albo-tomentosum preterea pilis longioribus hirsutum. Calycis 
tubus brevis, demum paulo elongatus; segmenta subulata ad 
à poll. longa, albo-tomentosa insuper pilis tenuibus patulis ad 
13 lin. longis additis. Corolla anguste infundibuliformi-tubulosa, 
circiter 2 poll. longa, basi glabra, medio albo-pubescens, superne 
et in loborum dorsis dense albo-tomentosa ; lobi vix 1 lin. longi. 
Within 6 miles of Monrovia ; Sinoe Basin, Whyte. 
This might perhaps be treated as a variety of S. Jerruginea 
with an exceptionally copious indumentum and sessile flowers. 
Webera gracilis, Stapf (sp. nov.) ; affinis W. congensis, Stapf 
(Tarenna congensis, Hiern), sed foliis tenuioribus, longius acu- 
minatis, nervis lateralibus 7-8 in utroque latere, inflorescentiis 
puberulis strictioribus, ramis longioribus, floribus multo minori- 
bus, alabastris adultis 6—7 lin. longis.
