CONSPECTUS TABULARUM. 13 
Nas.—Port Natal, Krauss, Gueinzius. (Herb. T. C. D.) 
Descr.—A climbing (?) shrub, with a dark-coloured, roughish bark. 
Twigs terete, tapering much to the extremity, appressedly pubescent, 
afterwards naked. eaves on petioles 4—$ inch long, unifoliolate ; leaf- 
let 2 inches long, nearly one inch broad, subacute at base, tapering to 
the acute apex, the upper surface dark-green and somewhat shining ; 
the lower closely netted: young leaves puberulous. Stipules caducous, 
lanceolate-subulate, spreading. Racemes shorter than the leaf, several 
flowered ; pedicels elongate, filiform, bracteolate in the middle or naked, 
1 or 2-8-flowered. Calycine bracts two, lanceolate, shorter than the 
calyx. Calyx splitting into two segments, the posterior bidentate, the 
anterior tridentate. Stamens 10, glabrous. Flowers white? petals 
spreading ; the vexillum very wide, alx oblong, with narrow claws, the 
keel petals, each with a fossa near its base. 
The genus Bracteolaria, founded by Hochstetter for the present plant, 
now includes at least two others, natives of the west coast of tropical 
Africa. It is nearly allied to Baphia.

XXII. KRAUSSIA FLORIBUNDA, Harv. (Rubiacee.) 
_ K. floribunda: ramis atrosanguineis quadrisulcatis, foliis ovato-ob- 
longis lanceolatisve subacutis, cymis axillaribus laxiuscule paniculatis 
folium subbrevioribus, calycis limbo quinque-fido obtuso, stigmate max- 
imo clavato stylum longiore.—//arv. in Lond. Journ. Bot., vol. i., p. 18; 
Sond. Linn. 23, p. 52. 
Has.—Port Natal, Krauss, No. 121; Gueinzius, 109, 111, 551, fide Sonder. (Herb- 
T. C. D.) 
Descr.—A glabrous shrub, with glossy leaves and axillary cymes of 
white (?) flowers. Young twigs somewhat virgate, reddish-brown, sub- 
angular, and 4-furrowed. eaves shortly petiolate, ovate-oblong, or 
broadly lanceolate, subacute at each end, margined, glossy above, pen- 
ninerved below, with a minute gland at the base ofeach nerve. Stipules 
ovate, mucronulate. Cymes trichotomous, the peduncle nearly an inch 
long, bibracteate at the summit, the bracteoles on the branches scattered, 
small, sublanceolate. Pedicels twice as long as the calyx. Calyx oblong, 
with a 5-cleft, erect, short limb; the lobes very obtuse. Corolla subin- 
fundibuliform, with a short, wide throat and spreading limb; the lobes 
oblong, obtuse, the throat densely hairy. Stamens _exserted, filaments 
very short, anthers erect, attenuate. rut about the size of a garden- 
pea, globose, crowned with the calyx limb, 2, or by abortion, one seeded. 
To this shrub, on which the genus Araussia was founded in 1841, 
Dr. Sonder has added Carpothalis lancéolata, E. Mey, MSS., and a new 
species, found by Dr. Gueinzius. The genus is nearly allied to Pavetta, 
but has a different corolla.
