FLORA NIGRITIANA, 515 
XCIV. AntipEsMER. 
This Order is more than any one in need of a thorough 
revision, both as to the number and limitation of the genera it 
should contain, and as to the character of the Order itself ; and 
indeed its very existence as a separate Order is doubtful. This 
bour requires too wide an enquiry to be undertaken on the 
Present occasion, the West African species being but very few. 
None, indeed, appear to have been as yet indicated from that 
region, and the few specimens in the collections before us are 
most of them in too imperfect a state to be satisfactorily de- 
scribed. They are: 
l. An Antidesma, in fruit only, from Abdh, Vogel; closely 
allied to the Hast Indian A. Bunius. 
2. An Antidesma, with a few fruits, and inflorescences de- 
formed by a kind of proliferous monstrosity, from Vogel’s 
collection without the precise indication of the locality. It 
can hardly be distinguished from the common Hast Indian JA. 
Paniculata. 
_8. A specimen in leaf only from Sierra Leone, Don, called by 
him Antidesma Guineensis, and another in the same state, 
evidently belonging to the same species from Fernando Po, 
Vogel, but both very different in appearance from any Anti- 
4 known to me. 
4. A specimen without flowers or fruit from Cape Palmas, 
Vogel, with the aspect of Bennettia, Br., and which Dr. 
lanchon believes to be a new Sarcostigma. 
5. Another, in the same state, from Grand Bassa, Vogel, 
which Dr, Planchon considers a new Pyrenacantha. 
There is also in the Senegambian collection a male specimen 
of a Lepidostachya, or some allied genus.
