145. I. urbaniana, Hallier f. in Sitzungsb. Akad. Wien. Math.- 
Nat. evii. 52. Stem climbing, somewhat sparsely covered like the 
peduncle and petiole with short adpressed hairs. Leaves thin and 
papery when dry, broadly oval to ovate, shortly acute or acuminate, 
base rounded, reaching 6 in. long by 4 in. broad, glabrescent and 
granular on the upper surface when mature, sparsely adpressed pilose 
beneath; lateral veins about six each side, slender and slightly pro- 
minent on the upper surface; petiole shorter than the blade (up to 
34 in. long) glandular just below the blade. Peduncle up to 4 in. long, 
bearing a dense-flowered cyme. Sepals narrowly linear-lanceolate, 
acute, 5 lin. long, barely 1 lin. broad at the base, the back covered with 
short adpressed hairs. Corolla narrowly funnel-shaped, rose-coloured, 
21-23 in. long; midpetaline areas sparsely covered with short 
adpressed hairs and with a short apical tuft. Disc large cupshaped, 
covering the globose ovary. Fruit and seeds unknown.—livea

146. I. spathulata, Hallier f. in Ann. Istit. Bot. Roma, vii. 234. 
A partly climbing shrub; branches robust, terete, yellowish, covered 
when young like the petioles and peduncles with dense spreading grey 
pubescence, elongated into leafless climbing shoots. Leaves large, 
orbicular-cordate, obtuse, herbaceous, snbpalmately 7-nerved at the 
base, subglaucous-green above and densely clothed with minute papille, 
rather silky beneath with dense adpressed grey pubescence, 2? in. long, 
31 in. broad; petiole up to 2 in. long. Peduncles solitary in the leaf- 
axils, robust, terete, nearly 3 in. long, twice dichotomous, the two 
primary branches (nearly 3 in. long) bearing each a pair of cincinni up 
to 2 in. long. Bracts broadly ovate-spathulate, yellowish-green with 
soft grey hairs, 6-7 lin. long and nearly 5 lin. broad. Flowers large, 
subsessile. Sepals pale green, grey silky at the base, unequal, the two 
outer longer, spathulate, 5 lin. long, 2 to 24 lin. broad below the apex, 
median sepal more narrowly spathulate, the two inner narrower and 
nearly one-third shorter, linear from a broader base. Corolla 
(unopened) more than 1} in. long, with grey stiffish hairs except on the 
commissural segments; midpetaline areas bounded by strong nerves. 
Capsule and seeds exactly as in J. chrysosperma.

Eldama Ravine, 7000-7500 ft., Whyte / 
Very near J. chrysosperma, from which it is distinguished by the subclimbing 
habit and larger spathulate bracts and sepals. Whyte’s plant is referred to this 
species, as it agrees very fairly with Huallier’s description based on the Somaliland 
plant which we hive not seen. It has fully opened flowers with corolla 23 in. Jong, 
funnel-shaped with a broad purplish tube and a pale limb. 
147. I. Hartmanni, Vatke in Linnea, xiiii. 514. Perennial. 
Stems woody, densely clothed with deflexed tawny hairs. Leaves 
entire, cordate-orbicular, 3-4 in. long and broad, obtuse, green and 
obseurely pubescent above, matted with adpressed whitish hairs
