COL. GRANT—BOTANY ОЕ THE SPEKE AND GRANT EXPEDITION. 109 
2. TOXOCARPUS AFRICANUS, Oliv., sp. nov. Frutex volubilis, ramulis gracilibus glabris; 
foliis ovato- v. lanceolato- v. oblongo-ellipticis, acute acuminatis, basi plus minus rotundatis, 
glabris; paniculis brevibus axillaribus, ferrugineo-pubescentibus ; bracteis minutis, ovatis ; 
floribus glabris; coroll: lobis æstivatione sinistrorsum obtegentibus. 
Folia 2 poll. longa, 2-1 poll. lata; petiolus 1—1 poll. longus.  Panicule 1-1 poll. longæ. 
The only specimen is not sufficiently advanced to enable me to describe the flowers, which agree, so far 
as we can determine in bud, with the structure of Toxocarpus as limited by Mr. Bentham in the * Gen. 
Plantarum (ined.). Тһе doubtful * Tozocarpus? > of Dr. Ascherson, in Schweinfurth’s ‘Beitr. FI. 
JEthiop. 128, must be distinct from the above in its reticulate-venose leaves more or less pubescent 
beneath, and rounded or subcordate at the base. It is not improbably my Tacazzea apiculata.

Of this we have but a solitary small specimen, ie through some mistake perhaps, by two ` 
labels, one of Col. Grant's, the other of Mr. Consul Petherick; so that I am unable to give the 
locality with certainty of the specimen described. However, its association with the name of Mr. 
Consul Petherick will serve to connect it with the Upper-Nile region, which, with Col. Grant, he has 
done so much to make known.
