Arn.—Abóh, Vogel, and Guinea, if I am correct in referring 
Vogel’s specimen to Thonning’s species. 
Specimen cum illis M. triangularis iutermixtum, sed certe 
diversum. Caulis multo firmior, costis elevatis angulatus. 
Folia usque ad 3 poll. lata, evidentius dentata. P edicelli 
multo breviores. Flores masculi paullo majores, dentibus 
calycinis setiformibus dimidium limbi corollini æquantibus. 
Anthere latiores, breviores. Ovarium pilosiusculum. Fructus 
nondum maturus jam longior et apice attenuatus nec globosus, 
demum glabratus. 
l. Bryoniz sp. ?—Fernando Po, Vogel.

scribing the plant. ; 
2. Bryoniæ sp. ?—Fernando Po, Vogel. A small fragment, with 
the remains of fruitstalks, but no flowers.
