160 BOTANY OF THE UGANDA BOUNDARY COMMISSION. 
vireseentes. Calycis limbus 0'2 cm., lobi O'G em. long. 
Corolle nondum expanse 10:0 em., anthere 0°65 em. 
long. Stigma fusiforme, 0°65 em. long., cruribus O'L em. 
long. inelusis. Ovarium oblongum, 0:5 em. long. 
The material of this consists of two leaves with the part of 
the stem to which they are immediately attached, and two 
separated inflorescences—one with buds in various stages but no 
fully expanded flower, the other with very young fruits just 
after the corollas have fallen away. The length of the inflores- 
cenees cannot therefore be given, nor that of the flowers at 
maturity. In spite of this, I have ventured to describe the 
specimen, as it seems different from any hitherto known. In 
appearance it is much like O. wnilocularis, Hiern, but the 
clothing of the leaf, the longer calyx-lobes, the 2-celled ovary, 
and, to judge from the unopened corollas, the smaller flowers are 
well-marked differential characters.
