Hab. Uganda, coast of Victoria Nyanza. Fl. & Fr. (?), 
February, 571. 
Ramuli ultimi foliiferi et florentes cirea 1:5 cm. long. Folia 
vix 1 em. long. Perianthii segmenta in flore masculo vix 
2 mm. long., in flore femineo 2 mm. long. 
A very distinct species, suggesting in general habit P. flori- 
bundus, Müll. Arg., or P. reticulatus, Poir., but distinguished by 
the tetramery of the andrecium and gynecium. The material 
includes a branch of somewhat different appearance from the 
rest, bearing fleshy fruit, which is perhaps conspecific.
