interioribus) cum 3 parte nucis subequilongis, setuli formibus 
recurvato-scabris, aut fere nullis; nuce nigra, longitudinaliter 
striata, cellulis ellipticis pallidis transversis, in seriebus verti- 
caliter superpositis. 
Hab. Matopo Hills, sand-banks, Malami River. Sept. 196. 
Rhizome woody, horizontal; culms approximate, 3-4 dm. long, 
nodes in the upper parts of the culms fewer; the spicules are 
2 em. long and 4 mm. in diam. ; the leaves are narrow and erect ; 
the glumes minutely pubescent; the nut is shortly stipitate ; 
the rostrum conical, white and setulose. 
This species is near Fuirena glomerata, Bojer. 
[ Mr. Clarke notes that “ Several African Fuirenas are close to 
this, and these are considered but one species by some authors; 
No. 196 therefore does not make a strong species, but I can find 
nothing that quite matches it."—L. S. G.J] 
FurnENA (Epirus, C. B. Clarke, sp. nov. 
F. rhizomate horizontali ; culmi nodo imo tumido, ellipsoideo, 
albo; petalis (7. e. setis hypogynis 3 interioribus) obovatis, 
3 nervis eum nuce equilongis; nuce levi, rostro lineari-cylin- 
drico levi. 
Hab. Victoria Falls, bog edge of Rain Forest. Sept. 125. 
The pseudo-bulbs are sessile, distant, on the horizontal rhizome, 
12 mm. long and 7 mm. in diam., with contracted base; culms 
4 dm. long, rather thick, almost glabrous, heads 3—4, 6-8-branched, 
culms distant; spikes 5 mm. long, fuscous nigrescent, ciliate- 
pilose. 
This species is near F. umbellata, Rottb. 
FUIRENA sp. 
Matopo Hills, in sedge by streams. Sept. 54. 
The rhizome resembles that of F. pubescens; but without 
a nut, this is only a guess.
