98 COL. GRANT—BOTANY ОҒ THE 5РЕКЕ AND GRANT EXPEDITION. 
Caulis 1-14-ped., crassitie pennæ corvine. Folia 3 poll. longa, 11 poll. lata. Capitula 1-13 poll. lata. 
Hab. 6° S. lat., alt. 3800 feet (Wedelia no. 1, App. Speke's Journ. 638), Col. Grant ! 
I cannot certainly identify the above with the Zambesi plant described by Steetz, which is said to have 
stem, peduncles, &e. with appressed rigid hairs. In our plant the hairs are subpatent. In any case 
Menotriche will have to be merged in Wedelia; and the specific name strigosa is preoccupied under 
Wedelia. 
[Erect-growing, woody-rooted plant, 1 foot high, common by roadsides at 6° 8. lat., alt. 3800 feet.

Наб. Khartoum, Apr. 1863, Col. Grant !

‚ Нађ. Karagué, in flower March 1862 (Verbesina no. 2, App. Speke's Journ. 638). 
Another plant from Karagué (Verbesina no. 3, App. I. c.) may belong to the same 
species. Тһе leaf-segments are rather narrower. 
[Grows 3 to 4 feet high, at an altitude of 4000 to 5000 feet (Karagué), with yellow flowers. Lower 
part of the stem is purple; so also are certain parts of the flowers, This somewhat bushy plant covers 
fallow ground, and sometimes was seen to take root from its stem.—J. A. G.]
