shrubby, and the toothing of the leaves less decided. The young 
capsules are densely villous between the aculei, in which respect 
the plant differs from Vahl’s description, but this character 
depends on age.

Specimens very bad, but apparently identical with a Zanzibar 
species, ealled T. semitriloba by Bojer, but which differs from 
De Candolle's description. of that plant in the leaves not being 
velvety beneath.

The T. trilocularis, Guill. et Perr., appears to be the T. rhom- 
boidea, Jacq., judging from the imperfect specimen in Herb.

Complete specimens, both flowering and fruiting, are required 
of the Triumfette to determine the limits of the species; and 
such are rare in our Herbaria. The size of the flower and
