Hab. Milanji, 7000-8000 ft. 
This is, I believe, the first Vaccinium recorded from the African continent. Mr. Whyte 
collected it in considerable abundance, and its very numerous (white or red?) flowers 
doubtless render it a conspicuous figure in the landscape. 
Erica JOHNSTONIANA, Britten, sp. n. (Plate V. figs. 1-6.) Fruticulus adscendens vel 
erectus; folia 4-na ovata, 3-4 lin. longa, 1-13 lata, dense imbricata, adscendentia, 
incurva, marginibus revolutis pectinatis; flores dense capitati, axillares, nutantes, 
breviter pedicellati ; sepala lineari-lanceolata, marginibus dense hirsutis; corolla 
calycem æquans vel paulo excedens, campanulata ; antheris appendiculatis, appen- 
diculis tomentosis semi-orbicularibus, marginibus fimbriatis. 
- Hab. Milanji plateau, 6000-6500 ft. No. 4. 
A low, much-branched shrub ; branches especially numerous on the upper part of the 
stem above the flowers, erect, of a woolly appearance owing to the close aggregation at 
the tips of the white hairs which fringe the leaves; flowers red ?, 4-12 together in dense, 
nodding, globose heads on short axillary branches. It seems to come nearest to
