FLORA NIGRITIANA. 281 
2. Salacia Senegalensis, DC. Prod. 1. p. 570.—Sierra Leone 
and Accra, Vogel; Senegal. 
Specimens of a similar Senegambian plant, collected by 
Brunner, are possibly a different species. 
3. Salacia affinis, Hook. fil.; ramis teretibus, cortice pallide 
rufo verrucis 4-lobis pallidis dense consperso, foliis sub- 
oppositis alternisque petiolatis elliptico-oblongis acuminatis 
basi angustatis subintegerrimis coriaceis super luridis sub- 
nitidis, subter pallidioribus, venis reticulatis, pedicellis axillari- 
bus fasciculatis unifloris gracilibus petiolum superantibus, ala- 
bastris cylindraceis, lobis calycinis late rotundatis, petalis late 
oblongis obtusis apicibus incurvis, disco conico, filamentis 
planis elongatis.—Sierra Leone, Whitfield. 
Rami diametro penne corvine. Cortex pallide ruber, undique 
Verrucis parvis flavo-fuscis 4-sectis sparsa. Folia 3 unc. 
longa, 1} lata, versus apicem obscure serrata; petiolo } une. 
longo. Flores axillis in superioribus perplurimi, } unc. lati, 
pedicellis fere 4 uncialibus. 
Very closely allied to S. Senegalensis, but the leaves are very 
obscurely serrated, the flowers larger, petals broader, and the 
warts on the stem larger and more numerous. 
4. Salacia cornifolia, Hook. fil. ; ramis teretibus, cortice griseo 
verrueulato, ramulis levibus glaberrimis, foliis oppositis petio- 
latis ellipticis utrinque angustatis apice obtusis rarius ellip- 
tico-lanceolatis longe acuminatis coriaceis super nitidis subter 
pallidioribus reticulatis margine tenuiter recurvo obscure 
sinuato-serrato, pedicellis 2-3 axillaribus validis 1-floris pe- 
tiolo longioribus, alabastris globosis, disco depresso annulari, 
filamentis brevissimis, antheris rima hippocrepiformi extror- 
sum hiantibus vix 2-locularibus, baccis parvis pyriformibus 3- 
locularibus.— Sierra Leone, Vogel. 
Rami sparse yerruculati; ramulis oppositis, patentibus, com- 
pressis. Folia 3-4 unc. longa, 14 lata, forma varia, utrinque 
angustata, apice plerumque obtusa, petiolo 4 unc. longo. 
Flores } unc. diam. ; pedicellis 3 pollicaribus, superne incras- 
satis. Stamina fere ut in Hippocratea, sed rima vere dorsalis.
