Cycnium paucidentatum, Engl. in Amn. Istit. Bot. Roma, vii. 29, and in Engl, 
Jalirb. xxiii. 513 (C. serratum, var. paucidentatum, Engl. Pfi. Ost-Afr. C. 360) is 
probably not distinct from the above species. I can find no satisfactory character 
in the fragmentary specimens at Kew by which to distinguish it. 
C. rubriflorum, Eng] in Engl. Jahrb. xxx. 405, from Mpagara Land, Unyika 
(Goetze, 1402), described as having red flowers, is, I suspect, only a form of 
Rhamphicarpa Heuglini.
