214 FLORA NIGRITIANA. 
This is very distinct from the two other well-known species ;* 
and I have retained for it the more appropriate specifie name of 
strigosa, previously given by me to the Congo specimen: this 
point, however, would certainly have been ceded in favour 
of the distinguished author of the Flora Antarctica, did not 
the name of macrantha convey a very incorrect idea of the 
species, for its flowers, when expanded, are scarcely more than 
2 lines in diameter, and although large for the order, they are 
not greater than those of J. palmata, or the flowers of some 
other genera, and are assuredly diminutive when compared 
with those of plants in general. The leaves, from the insertion of 
the petiole, to the summit of the middle lobe, are 7} inches long, 
the lateral lobes measure 6 inches, the depth of the basal lobes 
is 21 inches, so that the total length is 91 inches, their extreme 
breadth being 9 inches, and the length of the petiole 53 inches.

A very distinct species: the leaves of the male plant - 
larger than those of the female, being 24 inches long, including 
the basal lobes, and 2} inches from the petiole at the sinus, they 
are 24 inches broad, the petiole being 14 to 2 inches long, and 
its insertion half a line within the margin. The female inflo-
