° Middle of Bamboo zone, Mt. Kenya, 8000-9000 feet. Dense 
forest, trees 80-100 ft. high: J. W. Gregory, June 25, 1898. 
The leaves reach half a foot in length and 4 an inch in breadth 
and are therefore larger than in P. Mannii. The plant closely 
resembles a specimen in the British Museum from the Cape 
collected by Capt. Waldegrave and named Taxus falcata, Thunb. 
There is, however, considerable confusion as to what is Podo- 
carpus falcata, and until this is cleared up it is inadvisable to 
describe a new species from a doubtful specimen. P. Mannii 
was collected by Gustav Mann on the island of St. Thomé at a 
height of 7500 ft.
