3. F. sessiliflora, Schlechter in Engl. Jahrb. xx. Beibl. 51, 44. 
Stem woody, glabrous, Leaves erect or somewhat spreading, 3-1} in. 
long, 4—7 lin. broad, lanceolate or lanceolate-oblong, acute, narrowed 
into the very short petiole, usually revolute or undulate along the- 
margins, glabrous. Flowers few, sessile, clustered in the axils of the 
leaves. Sepals lanceolate-triangular, much shorter than the corolla,. 
thinly puberulous, mealy. Corolla-lobes 3-3} lin. long, slightly spread- 
ing, linear-ligulate, obtuse, flexuose, thinly puberulous on both sides. 
Outer corona tubular, with 5 short trifid lobes, the lateral teeth of 
which are rather shorter than the middle tooth; median coronal-lobes 
filiform, erect, adnate far up the outer corona-tube and half longer than 
it, with the inflexed margins below the middle forming 10 parallel 
keels; inner coronal-lobes opposite those of the median corona and half’ 
as long, scarcely equalling the tube of the outer corona to which they 
are adnate high up. Anther-appendages lanceolate, obtuse, 3-4 times. 
as long as the anthers. 
Mozamb. Dist. Transvaal: near Klipdam, 4500 ft. Schlechter, 4493, 
This locality is just south of the Tropic of Capricorn, but in all probability the 
plant will be found to occur in the tropical part of the Transvaal. Schlechter 
regards the superposed teeth within the coronal-tube as belonging to 2 distinct 
coronal whorls ; I regard them as mere appendages of one, such as occur in Cynan- 
chum, Schizoglossum, and Asclepias. 
4. F. Lugardi, V. #. Br. Stem creeping on rocks, under 1 ft. 
high (Lugard), probably also twining, 7-1 lin. thick, puberulous on the 
young parts, becoming glabrous. Leaves large, spreading; petiole 
13-2 lin. long; blade 1-34 in. long, 4-1 in. broad, lanceolate or oblong- 
lanceolate, obtuse or acute, more or less cuneate at the base, flat,. 
glabrous on both sides. Inflorescence axillary, subsessile or shortly 
pedunculate, spicate ; axis stout, 2-6 lin. long (including the peduncle) ;. 
flowers subsessile, densely crowded, developing successively; bracts 
minute, ovate, subtomentose ; pedicels about 4 lin. long, subtomentose. 
Sepals 4 lin. long, elongate-deltoid, acute, subtomentose, Corolla 
green, subtomentose outside, minutely puberulous on the basal part of 
the lobes inside, otherwise glabrous ; tube about } lin. long, broadly 
funnel-shaped ; lobes spreading, much twisted in bud, 5-7 lin. long, 
#-1 lin. broad at the base, narrowly linear, obtuse ; margins strongly 
reflexed or revolute. Corona tubular, with about 20 unequal teeth. 
besides the teeth within; tube 14-1} lin. long; 5 longer teeth ?-1 
lin. long, linear, acute, bifid or irregularly denticulate at the apex, 
with a small subulate inflexed tooth on each side inside the base, 
alternating with 1 or more minute irregular teeth; teeth within the-
