ganja Hills, E. Africa (H. Waller; Herb. Kew.); Nyika Country, E. Trop. Africa: 
(Rev. E. T. Wakefield; Herb. Kew.); Milanji, Nyasa-land, Oct. 1891 (A. Whyte). 
An East Tropical African species.

LIssOCHILUS MILANJIANUS, Rendle, sp. n. Pedunculo elongato, racemoso, laxifloro; 
bracteis membranaceis, brunneis, triangulis, longe acuminatis, ovaria pedicellata 
haud zequantibus ; sepalis lateralibus ad basin labeili adnatis, oblongis, apiculatis, basi 
truncatis; dorsali oblongo angustiore ; petalis orbieularibus, minute apiculatis, multi- 
nerviis; labelli lobis lateralibus brevibus, truncatis, latera sacci cum calcare con- 
tinui formantibus, lobo medio basi profunde tricarinato, apice integro obtuso; 
ealeare tenui brevi; columna brevi crassa. 
There were no leaves with the specimen. The raceme is laxly 8-flowered on the 
upper part of the leafless peduncle, which is 12-20 inches long. Sepals much smaller 
than the petals, the lateral 4 lines long by 23 lines wide, the dorsal narrower (1% line 
wide), the petals 7 lines long and broad. The lateral lobes of the labellum form the 
sides of a deep sac, of which the spur isa slender pointed continuation 2 lines long; 
the median lobe is 44 lines long, the lower part convex and deeply tricarinate on the 
crest, with raised lateral veins below; the apical lobe is more flattened and spreading. 
The short thick column is 2 lines long. 
Hab. Milanji. 
There is in Herb. Kew. à specimen (Livingstone's s Zambesi Expedition, Manganja 
Hills), with somewhat larger flowers, slightly narrower longer sepals, a blunt thicker 
spur, and apparently of a lighter colour, but the characters of the lip are the same, and I 
doubt whether it can be separated from the Milanji plant. 
BRACHYCORYTHIS PLEISTOPHYLLA, Reichb. f. Otia Bot. Hamb. p. 104. 
Hab. Livingstone’s S. Afr. Exped., Moramballa, Dec. 1838 (C. Meller ; Herb. Kew.) ; 
Nyasa-land, 1891 (Buchanan, no. 1345; Herb. Kew.); Milanji, Oct. 1891 (4. Whyte). 
The flowers of the Milanji specimen are larger than those of the type, and the bracts, 
differ in being prolonged into a subulate aristate apex half as long as the leaf. In 
Buchanan's specimen also the bracts have this character, while the flowers are inter- 
mediate in size. 
Pouystacuya, sp. n. 
Hab. Milanji, Oct. 
. Material insufficient for description. 
In Herb. Kew. there is a specimen with ripe fruit, evidently of the same species, 
b collected by Sir J. Kirk at Zomba, Zambesia, 6000-7000 ft., in Sept. 1859; that is, in 
: the : same > district and at about the same altitude as the Milanji plant.
