310 MR. SPENCER MOORE ON THE 
subtus eminentes; petioli 0°5-0°7 cm. long., ima basi ampli- 
ficati, pubescentes. Capitula 0°5-0°6 cm. diam. Involucri 
phylia extima 02 cm. intima 0°3 cm. long. Corolla circa 
0:4 cm. long., inferne paullo angustate ibique pilosule. Achznia 
0-1 em. long. 
A species with much the general appearance of Erlangea 
longipes, but the strictly alternate leaves, the small heads, the 
narrower and acuminate involucral leaves, &c. render confusion 
of the two impossible. 
ERLANGEA BORANENSIS, sp. Dov.; caule verisimiliter ascendente 
ramos elongatos se ipsos ramuligeros copiose emittente glabro, 
ramulis crebro foliosis tenuibus puberulis, foliis alternis parvis 
brevipetiolatis anguste oblongis obtusis supra fere omnino glabris 
subtus minute sericeo-tomentosis, capitulis parvis subspheroideis 
multiflosculosis solitariis ex axillis superioribus oriundis vel 
in cymam terminalem perpaucicapitulatam digestis, pedunculis 
tenuibus folia subequantibus, involucri phyllis 5-6-seriatis ovato- 
oblongis obtusis extimis parvulis acutis vel acuminatis reliquis 
gradatim majoribus viridibus trinerviis margine lamina scariosa 
lacerata onustis obscure puberulis, acheniis minutis turbinato- 
subspheroideis 5-costatis et inter costas rugulosis, pappi setis 
paucis achenium excedentibus barbellatis caducissimis. 
Hab. North-east Tropical Africa, Boran, April 1895; Dr. 
Donaldson Smith. 
Folia modica 1°5-3°0 em. x 0°5-0°7 cm., presertim ex ramulis 
abbreviatis orta. Pedunculi circa 1:5 cm. long. Capitula 0°7 em. 
diam. Involucri phylla extima 0-2 em. long.; phylla ser. III. 
vix 0°35 em. et intima 0°5 em. long. Achenia 0-1 em. long., vix 
totidem lat. Pappi seta 0°2-0°3 em. long. 
The affinity of this species is with E. marginata and E. cordi- 
folia; the habit, the small leaves, the few very effuse capitula, 
the lacerate involucral scales, and rugulose achenes are its chief 
characteristics. 
E. maretnata (Vernonia marginata, Oliver & Hiern; Bothrio- 
cline marginata, O. Hoffm.), var. pEPAUPERATA (var. DOV.)- 
Folia parva, nempe 2:0 cm.x0-6-0°8 em. Capitula pauca. 
Involucri 5-seriatis phylla quam ea typi paullo angustiora 
necnon acutiora.
