reliqua excedentibus oblongis vel ovato-oblongis obtusis una 
cum intermediis lamina brevi scariosa onustis, flosculis exsertis, 
acheniis cylindricis sursum leviter ampliatis 5-costatis obscure 
puberulis, pappi setis pluribus achenium equantibus vel paullo 
excedentibus scabridis. 
Hab. North-east Tropical Africa, close to Lake Stéphanie, 
May 1895; Dr. Donaldson Smith. 
Specimen unicum ante meos oculos fere semimetralis. Folia 
2°5-5'0 ecm. x0°5-1'2 em., firme membranacea. Pedunculi 6°0- 
70 cm. long., sub capitulo squamis minimis lineari-subulatis 
instructi. Capitula 1-2 cm. diam. Involucri phylla extima paullo 
ultra 0°1 em. long.; intermedia 0°6 cm. et intima 0°8 em. long. 
Corolle 0°7 cm. long., basi attenuate, fere glabree. Acheenia vix 
0°2 cm. long. Pappi sete usque ad 0°3 cm. long., ssepe vero 
breviores. 
The small amplexicaul leaves, the solitary medium-sized 
capitula on long stalks, and the peculiar involucral scales are the 
chief marks whereby this species can be distinguished from its 
congeners. 
ERLANGEA BRACHYCALYX, sp. nov.; caule erecto striato pube- 
rulo ramos foliatos erectos appresse pubescentes demum puberulos 
crebro emittente, foliis alternis parvis sessilibus vel subsessilibus 
lanceolato-oblongis obtusis integris supra scabriusculis subtus 
cinereo-tomentosis, cymis abbreviatis paucicapitulatis, capitulis 
parvis pauci-(circa 20-)flosculosis, involucri abbreviati 4-seriatis 
pubescentis phyllis extimis lanceclato-subulatis, phyllis inter- 
mediis ovato-lanceolatis, phyllis interioribus lanceolato-oblongis 
reliqua excedentibus, phyllis omnibus acutis insigniter uninerviis 
interioribus sursum pallide purpureis, acheniis minimis sub- 
spheroideis circa 6-costatis costis sat latis intervallis pilis brevibus 
appressis hispidulis, pappi setis paucis barbellatis. 
Hab. Ukamba, Wakilomi; Dr. J. W. Gregory. 
Folia modice 15 em.x0°5-0°6 em., subtus microscopice 
glandulosa. Capitula 0°6 cm. diam. Involucri phylla extima 
circa 0°13 cm. long.; intima 0-4 em. long. Corolla vix 0°5 cm. 
long., sursum gradatim amplificata, puberula. Achenia 0°08 cm. 
diam. Pappi sete 0'1 em. long. 
The small leaves, the short few-headed cymes, the very short 
involucre, and small hispidulous achenes are the main peculiarities 
of this plant.
