INTRODUCTION. 
EanLy in April of last year Mr. M. T. Dawe, Officer in Charge 
of the Forestry and Scientifie Department of the Uganda 
Protectorate, started with tbe sanction of the then Acting 
Commissioner for Uganda, Mr. George Wilson, from his head- 
quarters at Entebbe, on an expedition through Buddu and the 
Western and Nile Provinees of the Uganda Protectorate. The 
objeet of the expedition was in the first place the exploration of 
the forests of the districts mentioned, and secondly a general 
botanical survey of the country traversed. After an arduous 
and extremely successful journey, Mr. Dawe arrived at Gondo- 
koro late in November of the same year, when his mission came 
to an end and he went home on leave. A complete set of his 
collections had meanwhile in several instalments reached Kew 
via Entebbe. They were taken in hand as they arrived, aud 
with his active assistance it was possible to supply him early in 
the present year with a list of the names of the plants collected 
by him. 
An account of his expedition, including an enumeration of the 
plants of his collections, was published as a Blue Paper last April 
under the title * Report on a Botanical Mission through the 
Forest Districts of Buddu and the Western and Nile Provinces 
of the Uganda Protectorate " (London, H.M. Stationery Office; 
Cd. 2904), pp. 1-63, and 5 plates. As it was desirable that the 
report should be published without delay, it was not possible to 
work out the descriptions of the numerous new species in time 
to be included in the report. Thus a considerable number of 
“ nomina nuda” found their way into it, and it is the object of 
the present paper to supplement the report in that respect by 
adding the necessary technical descriptions. 
As Mr. Dawe's official report may not be generally accessible,
