A. Cabra, De Wild. & Durand in Comptes-rendus Soc. Bot. Belg. xxxviii. 131, 
from the Lower Congo, I have not seen. It does not appear from the description to be 
distinct from A. sesamoides, but the authors state that A. Cabre differs in ‘having 
herbaceous instead of hard and coriaceous stems and leaves, larger leaves with 
fewer and more distant teeth, and shorter bracts.

Perfect stamens 4; posticous pair subincluded in the tube ; filaments 
filiform ; anticous pair aflixed to the throat of the corolla; filaments 
elongated, arched, connivent under the upper lip, gibbous and appen- 
diculate at the base; anthers approximate or coherent in pairs ; cells 
divaricate, distinct. Style filiform, subinfundibuliform, dilated and
