Much more hairy than the North African M. Senegalensis, with which in most 
other respects it agrees, or than any specimens we have seen of M. wmbellata ; from 
which species this is chiefly known by its inflorescence. 
Page 278, after Pelargonium Caffrum, E. & Z., insert : 
66.* P. Bowkeri (Harv.); stem short and succulent ; radical leaves 
on long petioles, tri-quadri-pinnati-partite, with a linear-lanceolate 
outline, the segments short, filiform, multifid, canescent with appressed 
pubescence ; ultimate lobes setaceous ; stipules lanceolate-acuminate, 
_ adnate ; scapes longer than the leaves, pubescent ; umbel many-flowered, 
the pedicels about equalling the oblong, villous bracts, and, as well as 
the calyx, villoso-canescent ; petals bipartite, their segments fimbriato- 
multifid. 
Has. In the Trans-Kei country, H. Bowker. (Herb. T.C.D.) 
_The petioles are 5—6 inches long; the decompound lamina about as long, and not 
more than 2 inches wide or less, multijugate, each segment as finely divided as a 
fennel-leaf. The pubescence generally is very short and white ; that of the leaves 
and petioles appressed, of the scapes and calyx spreading. Scapes 12-14 inches 
high. Calyx-tube 14 inch long; the lobes 4-5 lines long, obtuse, at length reflexed. 
Petals twice as long as the calyx-lobes, dark-coloured at base, with yellow, capillary, 
fringe-like lobules. A very distinct and handsome species. 
Page 456, after Celastrus tenuispinus, introduce : 
9.* C. (Gymnosporia) ruber (Harv.) ; armed with slender spines ; 
twigs roughly-puberulous ; leaves on very short petioles, ovate, mem- 
branaceous, veiny, sharply-serrate, obtuse, glabrous ; eymes on long 
peduncles, forked, diffuse ; bracts and stipules subulate ; petals pink 
or rosy! 
Has. On the Nototi river, Natal, W. 7. Gerrard! (Herb. T.C.D.) 
Quite unlike any South African species. Twigs slender and possibly scandent, 
covered with minute, but rigid, white hairs. Petiole 1-2 lines long. Leaves j-1 
inch long, 4-3 inch wide, broad-based, exactly ovate, of a thin substance. Pedun- 
cles longer than the subtending leaves, 1-14 inch long, slender, smooth, or slightly 
seabrid. Petals oblong, twice as long as the sepals, rosy or purplish-pink! Anthers 
short, didymous. Ovary sunk in the disc, 3-celled, with 2 erect ovules in each cell.

VIII.* PROTIUM, W. & A. 
Character nearly as in Balsamodendron ; but, inflorescence panicled ; 
panicle pedunculate, diffuse. Benth. § Hook. Gen. Pl.t,p.336.. 
1. P, Africanum (Harv.) ; glabrous ; leaves impari-pinnate or tri- 
foliolate, leaflets oblongo- or ovato- lanceolate, acute at base, taper- 
pointed, veiny, serrulate; panicles alternately-branched ; 
beyond the middle. 3 alternately-branched ; calyx. cleft
