348 MR. H. W. PUGSLEY : A REVISION OF THE 
Rupieapnos perennis habitu R. africane. Folia fere ut in R. african 
(maxima ap. Batt. & Trab.) sed oblonga, segmentis secundariis subflabellatis 
in lacinias latiuseule oblongas, subacutas vel mucronatas fissis 2-pinnatisecta. 
Racemi F. africane. Bractew 2-4 mm. longe, lanceolate, acuminate ; 
pedicelli fructiferi filiformes apice incrassati. Sepala cirea 3 mm. longa ac 
lata, fere orbicularia (corollae tubum subeequantia), peltata, acuta vel breviter 
acuminata, valde dentata, albida. Corolla magna, 14-15 mm. longa, carinis 
viridibus albida ; petalo superiore marginibus apice vix dilatatis dilute pur- 
purascentibus oblongo obtuso, calcare brevi (circa 3 mm. longo) apice rotundato, 
[nectario lineari incurvato ap. Pomel] ; petalo inferiore marginibus patentibus 
apice paulo dilatatis l/neari-oblongo obtuso, basi gibboso-saccato ; petalis interi- 
oribus apice violaceo-atropurpureis. — Fructis verisimiliter modici, eum mucrone 
longo lanceolato-obovat?, siccitate omnino valde tuberculato-rugosi. 
Hee species habitu foliisque X. africanam refert, sed per foliorum seg- 
menta latiora, per sepala orbieularia nee ovalia, per corollam haud gracilem 
calcare brevi preeditam satis differt. 2. decipiens foliis deltoideis, sepalis 
ovalibus, corolla longius calearata, fructibus multo majoribus facile separanda 
est, atque KX. cerefolia per folia magis decomposita laciniis parvis angustis 
prodita, per sepala angusta, per corollam longe calearatam apice breviter 
purpureo-maeulatam et per fructüs subellipticos acuminatos omnino diversa 
est. 
R. speciosa rupes ad fluminis Mine cataractam prope Mascaram (ap. 
Pomel), ad Saidam et forsan ad locos alios in provincia Oranensi Algerie 
habitat. 
No authentie or satisfactory material of this plant has been seen, but 
Warion's Saida example at Kew, although in a fragmentary condition, 
appears clearly referable to it and has been cited accordingly. The specific 
diagnosis given above is based on the work of Pomel, collated with this 
exsiccata. Another example at Kew, one of two labelled * F.corgymbosa— 
Munby, Tlemcen,” may also belong to this species, which it closely resembles 
in foliage, while its fruits, which are not large, agree in form with Pomel’s 
description. Unfortunately this specimen now shows no trace of flowers.
