ovatis ellipticisve breviter acuminatis, stipulis late obovato- 
orbiculatis acutis bifidisve deciduis, paniculis axillaribus bre- 
viter pedunculatis cymis ultimis umbellatis, bracteis ovato- 
lanceolatis involuerantibus, baccis subglobosis pedicellatis 
acute costatis.— Fernando Po, Vogel. 
Frutez videtur ex omni parte glaber v. tomento ferrugineo parco 
in inflorescentia partibusque novellis pubescens. Folia 5-6 
poll. longa, 2-3 poll. lata, membranacea, glabra, basi in 
petiolum semipollicarem angustata. Stipule semipollicares, 
margine fimbriate. ^ Pedunculus communis vix petiolum 
æquans, ramis panicule oppositis trichotomis. Bractee fo- 
liaceze, oblongo- v. ovato-lanceolatze, inferiores ad ramos pani- 
cule semipollieares, interiores sub cymis ultimis 2-4 lin. 
longe, acute. Flores desunt. Pedicelli fructiferi 1-13 lin. 
longi, subumbellatim aggregati. Baece 2 lin. diametro, m 
sicco insigniter costate. Semina dorso levia, nec sulcata. —

ovali-ellipticis utrinque angustatis chartaceis supra nitidulis 
subtus pubescentibus, stipulis latis utrinque acutis bifidis 
lacerisve, paniculis axillaribus longiuscule pedunculatis tri-

baccis ovoideis costatis.—On the Quorra, at Abdh, Vogel. 
Frutex 3-5-pedalis. Rami novelli compressi, demum teretes, 
breviter pubescentes. Stipule 3-4-lineares videntur, sed fere 
omnes jam delapse. Folia 4-5-pollicaria, rigidiora quam m 
praecedentibus, siccitate ferruginea, costis subtus valde p 
minentibus pubescentibus, inter costas fere glabra. Pedunculi 
2-3-pollicares. Bractee late, margine lacere, 2 lin. longs, 
ultime sub cymis ultimis subconnate. Flores non vidi. 
Bacce 3 lin. longs, brevissime pedicellate, endocarpio 10- 
costato, seminibus leviter sulcatis. 
This species is nearly intermediate between Psychotria and 
Cephaélis, but cannot be separated generically from P. latifolia. 
Six species of Psychotria are enumerated by Schumacher and 
Thonning from Guinea, none of which I am able to identify, 
and probably some of them do not belong to the genus as now 
limited. Amongst them, P. multiflora must be near to my P. 0b-
