A specimen collected by Gossweiler, 2833, near the source of the ae 
Campulua, Angola, resembles 7’. Stuhlmannii, Engl., but is a more wiry plan pre L- 
long slender sparingly forked branches, and bracts smaller than those of 7. 
mannit. In the absence of flowers the species cannot be described. 
25. T. masukense, Baker in Kew Bulletin, 1910, 186. Subsite 
stems slender, wiry, erect, glabrous, suleate, winged below, about me 
high ; branches few, erect. Leaves reduced to subulate acute mat te 
keeled, about $ lin. long. Flowers borne on short compact leafy ax! aa 
branches or on terminal spikes in the axils of bracts; bracts and por as 
equal in length, about 1 lin. Jong, narrowly ovate, acute, Koel 
membranous slightly ciliate edges. Perianth about § lin. sre ? a
