This species seems confined to Sierra Leone and Cape Coast, at 
least if the forms so marked in Kew Herbarium really belong to 
it. These are Vogel nos. 44 & 45, Cape Coast, wrongly marked 
“ Ansell, Grand Bassa;”’ no. 88 Vogel, Sierra Leone ; 5/57 Barter, 
Sierra Leone, to which belong my numbers 3916, bush near Sierra 
Leone, Dec. 4; 4720, near Kukuna on Scarcies River, and 5783, 
Sugarloaf Mountain, April 26. 
Ansell’s plant from Grand Bassa seems to me a different species, 
very likely ZL. sessilifolius, Beauv., but the calyx and bracts 
figured in the ‘ Flore d’Oware,’ tab. 64, are exactly like those of 
Vogel’s, Barter’s, and my specimens, and not like those of Ansell’s. 
It is even quite possible that the whole determination is wrong, 
as the corolla is not lateraliter fissa in any way.
