This paper deals with certain Compositae and Acanthaceae from 

 Madagascar in the National Herbarium. As an outcome of this 

 investigation four new genera are described and Cassinia and Afro- 

 mendoncia are added to the M as carene flora. In the present part 

 of the paper the following two genera are established; an abridged 

 diagnosis of each is given: 



Cloi selia (Mutisiacearnm genus novum): Capitula homogama, 

 paucifloxulosa, floxulis omnibus hermaphroditis. Involucrum parvum, 

 turbinatum, phyllis pluriseriatis interioribus gradatim longioribus 

 coriaceis obtusis vel acutiusculis nequaquam spiniferis. Recepta- 

 culum planum, sparsim frimbilliferum. Corollae tubo elongato, limbo 

 bilabiato. Antherae basi in caudas elongatas piloso-barbellatos inter 

 se per paria connatos desinentes. Achaenia turbinata, late 10-sul- 

 cata, inferne dense villosa. Pappi setae subpaleaceae, inter se in- 

 aequilongae, rigidae, biseriatae, scabridae, ex involucro longe emi- 

 nentes. Arbor elata. (The genus shows some affi'nity with Dicoma, 

 but differs in involucre, receptacle and corolla; probably belongs to 

 subtribe Gerbereae next to Oldenbiirgia). 



Stenandriopsis (Justicieanim genus novum): Calyx adus- 

 que basin 5-partitus, lobis subscariosis comparate latis lobo postico 

 reliquis majore. Corollae parvae hypocraterimorphae tubus attenu- 

 atus, sursum dilatatus incurvusque; limbus 5-lobus, inter se aequales 

 vel anticus minor. Stamina 4; filamenta brevia ; antherae inter se 

 cohaerentes, 1-loculares loculo angusto mutico. Pollinis grana sub- 

 sphaeroidea, leviter complanata ambitu subrotunda, laevia, rima unica 

 instructa. Ovula quoque in loculo 2. Capsula crassa, oblonga, ob- 

 tusa, fere a basi 4-sperma. Semina ovali-oblonga, laevia vel summum 

 leviter rugulata. - Verisimiliter frutex aspectu Tliomandersiae. 

 (Differs from Crossandra in arrangement of flowers, bracts, brac- 

 teoles etc.). 



The following new species are described: 



Veronia (§ Sirobocalyx) Cloiselii ; Cassinia (Rliynea) como- 

 rensis ; Sphacophylliim piisilliim (lowly habit and small flowering- 

 heads) ; Senecio foliatilis (nearest 6". Ambarilla Pers.); Cloistdia 

 carbonaria sp. unica; Dicoma (§ Brachyachaeniiim) Cowani (near 

 D. incana 0. Hoffm.); Afromendoncia madagascariensis ; A. Co-
