XVII. Enumeration of the Plants collected by Mr. Н. Н. Јонхѕтох on the Kilima-njaro 
Expedition, 1884, by Prof. D. Оуен, Е.В.5., F.L.S., and the Officers of the 
Kew Herbarium. 
(Plates LX.-LXTIT.) 
Read 3rd June, 1886. 
WITH the exception of Anisotes parvifolius, Oliv. (Acanthacez), belonging to a genus 
known previously only from Arabia and Socotra, the species here first described belong 
to genera already recorded from Tropical Africa. 
The genus Valeriana is here recorded for the first time from Tropical Africa, I believe ; 
but the single specimen brought home hardly suffices for description; a species of the 
genus occurs at the Cape. А single specimen also of an Anthoxanthum was gathered 
at 13,200 ft. on Kilima-njaro, possibly a robust form of 4. odoratum ; this is a second 
genus here first noted from Tropical Africa. 
This enumeration, before it was put in its final form, Mr. Johnston copied for the 
Appendix to his * Narrative of the Kilima-njaro Expedition’ (London, Kegan Paul & Co., 
1886), omitting the descriptions. The plant which in his Appendix is called Hormolotus 
Johnstoni, Oliv., I have since identified with Antopetitia abyssinica, Rich., now referred 
to Ornithopus, and the Senecio Vuleriana, Oliv., I have thought it better to refer to 
Супита. With the Astephania africana, Oliv., of the Appendix, I propose to associate 
generically а plant which I described in ‘Icones Plantarum’ (tab. 1451) as a doubtful 
Sphacophyllum from Zambesia (see below. p. 339). Dr. Masters, F.R.S., has kindly 
described for us a new Zryphostemma, and Нет О. Beckler has named three new 
Cyperaceze.—D. OLIVER.
