short ; calyx 3-32 lin. long, whitish tomentose ; sepals lanceolate, 
subacute ; corolla pink, pubescent without; infra-staminal part of 
the tube 441 lin. long with 5 hairy lines descending to the middle, 
glabrous below, supra-staminal part wide funnel-shaped-campanulate, 
8 lin. long, mealy-papillose within ; throat-scales small forming an

A. oleifolium differs from A. somalense, Balf. f., which it resembles to some 
extent, in the pubescent, broader and obtuse leaves and the mealy indumentum 
of the wider upper part of the corolla-tube. 
3. A. multiflorum (Klotzsch in Peters, Reise Mossamb. Bot. 279, 
t. xliv.); a shrub 4-8 ft. high, leafless when in flower; branches 
succulent, stout, glabrous except at the very tips when young, 
leaves obovate to oblong, subacute or obtuse, acute. or subacuminate

rather thin; nerves faint, though usually distinct, very oblique ; 
petiole 1-2 lin. long; cymes much contracted, 5—15-flowered, 
terminal, sessile, preeeded by more or less numerous deciduous 
triangular indurated bud-scales, hairy; bracts lanceolate, 2-3 lin. 
long; pedicels up to 2 lini. long; calyx 3-4 lin. long, hairy ; sepals 
lanceolate; corolla white or pink, conspicuously cuspidate Jin bud ; 
infra-staminal part of the tube 3-4 lin. long, with 5 hairy lines 
descending almost to the middle, glabrous below, supra-stamina 
part funnel-shaped, villous within, 9-12 lin. long; throat-scales 
small, confluent and forming an obversely triangular pocket ; lobes 
broad ovate, shortly acuminate and conspicuously cuspidate ; anthers 
3 lin. long, densely villous ; apical tails exserted ; follicles reflexed,
