ft. alt.), near Falaba, March 10, no. 5124; undershrub common 
in river-woods, Erimakuna to Farana on Niger, 83000-4000 ft. alt., 
March, no. 5312. 
CoMposItz. 
VERNONIA, Sp. nov. ? 
I should have described my specimens a8 a new species were 
it not that a specimen of Welwitsch’s no. 3258 connects them 
with Vernonia myriantha, Hook. f., in such a way that it is difficult 
to decide how much this species may include. 
Moria, Scarcies River, Jan., no. 4839; Duunia Talla, Feb., 
no. 4833. 
VERNONIA, sp. nov. 
This form seems identical with Welwitsch no. 3320, but is too 
poor to describe. 
Dry rocky hill about 3 miles to the south of Falaba, c. 3600 ft., 
March, no. 5152. 
VERNONIA, Sp. Nov. 
A very distinct species with single unbranched stems about 
7 feet high, found in woods near Falaba, March 15, no. 5222. 
Vernonia ? (teste Prof. Oliver), Bojeria glabra, Klatt. 
This is one of the most interesting species collected, but, like all 
the other specimens previously brought to this country, the heads 
had been injured by insects. It is much more like a Protea or 
Oldenburgia in habit than Vernonia, but probably comes near 
V. nigritiana, though its heads are 4 cm. long and 5 em. in 
diameter. It is not uncommon in grassy hills and valleys, and 
probably flowers immediately after the rains (August, September). 
No. 4985 from Mount Gonkwi, Duunia Talla, about 3600 ft. ; 
no. 4491 from Buyabuya, about 1000 ft. 
DIANTHuSERIS, Sp. NOV. 
A minute, tvberous-rooted plant not 4 inches high, unfortu- 
nately without leaves. . 
It seems very near an Eastern form, Namuli, Makua Country, 
collected by J. T. Last, and also to Welwitsch no. 3635. 
Talla Sumbaraya, no. 5010. 
Saporaces. 
Curysopryitum WeELwitscut, Engl. 
From description and comparison with Welwitsch’s no. 4831, 
my specimen from the Limba Country between Bumban and
