Buchanan, 20, was an erect plant, 1} ft. high, with penultimate peduncles ; 
Buchanan, 165, appears prostrate or against a rock, with remote axillary divaricated 
peduncles. 
Imperfectly known species.

shrub. Leaves 4} in. long, linear-lanceolate or linear, glabrous. Flowers 
solitary, axillary; bracteoles } in. long, lanceolate, finely hairy, Calyx 
$ in. long. Corolla nearly 4 in. long. Capsule } in. long, sparsely hairy.

Lower Guinea. Angola: Mossumedes, Hoepfuer, 10. 
This wonld appear to be Monechma Salsola, or near it, but Lindau especially says 
the seeds are 4, The one example cited was not found by me in the Berlin 
Herbarium. 
76. J. Romaniz, Schweinf. & Volkens, Liste Pl. Somalis, 17. Shrub; 
branchlets glabrous. Leaves 2 by } in., oblanceolate, glabrous, sub- 
sessile. Flowers axillary, solitary; bracts minute, ciliate. Sepals 3 in. 
long. Corolla } in. long, yellow. Lower anther-cell spurred.—Ghika, 
Pays des Somalis, 217.

No specimen at Kew, 
Perhaps near J. odora, Vahl. 
77. J. Mannii, 7. Anders. in. Journ. Linn. Soc. vii. 44. Shrub. 
Leaves 3-6 by 1-3 in., ovate, glabrous; petiole 1 in. long. Spikes 
axillary 2, 1 in. long, loose, glabrous, few-flowered ; bracts + in. long,

Justicia Mannii, T. Anders. MS. in Herb. Kew, is Adhatoda orbicularis (Lindau 
sub Duvernoid). It is evident that T. Anderson applied the name Justicia Mannit 
to two widely different plants, and probably cancelled one of them himself. 
78. J. Poggei, Lindau in Engl. Jahrb. xx.61. Leaves up to 33 by 
1} in., narrowed at either end, slightly hairy ; petiole short. Spikes 
terminal and axillary, dense; bracts } by } in., ovate, cuspidate,

cell lower than the other, with a very small spur.—Lindau in Engl. & 
Prantl, Pflanzenfam. iv. 3 B. 350.

Fruit not seen, but I suspect the genus to be Rungia.
