APPENDIX TO THE 'SPICILEGIA GORGONEA.' 313 
collection from the Cape de Verd Islands, M. Bocandé has sent two 
species already known as natives of Senegal, and a third which, 
though likewise found on the African continent, seems to be still 
undescribed. 
43 f. Cissus rufescens, Guillem. et Perr. 
43 g. Vitis pentaphylla of the same authors, and figured in their 
Flora of Senegambia, tab. 38. 
43 À. Vitis Gorgonobotrys, Webb. This plant is found in Heudelot’s 
Senegambian collection. It is numbered 906 in the Delesserian 
herbarium. Heudelot there describes it as having a perennial root 
and an annual stem. The fruit he did not see. He found this 
species, though of rare occurrence, on the banks of the Rio Nunez and 
the Rio Pongo. We give its diagnosis below, from M. Bocandé's 
somewhat imperfect specimen, in which the flowers are not yet 
developed.* 
RHAMNEE. 
50 a. Zizyphus orthacantha, DC. This species, already supposed 
to be a native of the island of Santiago, is in the collection of 
M. Bocandé. 
'TEREBINTHACE E. 
50 5. Sclerocarya Birrea, Hochst. Flora (Bot. Zeit.) 1844, vol. i. 
Besoud. Beil. p. 1. This plant, which seems sufficiently distinct from 
Spondias, is in our collection, though in a very mutilated state. 
50 c. Spondias lutea, Linn. The floral structure of this West Indian 
species, now become wild in the Cape Verd Islands, is not found 
in any modern work, and a description of it is therefore added below. 
50 d. Anacardium occidentale, Linn. Escaped from cultivation, an 
now wild.
