Journ. 636. 
Hab. Uganda and Karagué, 1862, Col. Grant! Also in India and Natal. 
ГА bushy plant, growing in plantain-groves, from 6 to 8 inches high, the stems growing flatly on the 
ground. Found from 2°S. to 2° №. lat. The four stamina аге inserted in the throat of the corolla, which 
is white with a circle of brown spots inside. The flowers fall very early. Stems green, smooth, and

Allied probably to O. Heynei is another Oldenlandia with larger capsules, gathered by Col. Grant 
at Май, December 1862, the Hedyotis no. 2 of App. Speke’s Journ. 636 Га straggling plant, found in the 
bogs about Madi, in flower and fruit during December.—J. A. G.], and apparently identical with a plant 
collected by Mr. Mann in W. Tropical Africa. Our only specimen unfortunately does not retain a fully 
developed corolla, so that I prefer to leave it undescribed until the group comes to be worked up for the 
Flora of Tropical Africa.

Нађ. Gani and Madi, flower and fruit, Dec. 1862, Col. Grant ! 
The figure cited of ‘ Botanical Magazine’ was taken from specimens grown at Kew from seed brought 
home by Col. Grant. We have it also from the White Nile, communicated by Consul Petherick. 
[Shrub amongst rocks and on the slopes of ravines at Gani and Madi in December. From one side of 
the rose-bud-like calyx there is a yellow leaf, which is ribbed in a peculiar manner ; but this appendage 
is only found upon the more central calyces. Corolla canary-yellow, with long tube, which conceals the 
five stamina. The leaves, differently formed from the appendage of the calyx, grow in tufts on the stem, 
the bark of which is brown rough, and easily peels off. It is a hard i 
ark с : " å y plant, and grows in th 
localities in great profusion.—J. А. G.] Tr
