Nyasaland and those northwards to Abyssinia. The distribution 

 of Pseudocalyx (Acanthaceae) , hitherto represented by a solitary 

 species in Madagascar, is extended by the discover}' of a new 

 species (P. africanus) in Gazaland. 



The forests contain a considerable number of fine trees, some 

 of them yielding excellent tiraber. A new species of Lovoa {L. Swyn- 

 nertoniä) the "Brown Mahogany" attains a height of 160 ft. A fair 

 Proportion of the flora consists of economic plants, the chief rubber 

 producers being Laudolphia florida, L. Kirii and the new L. Swyn- 

 nertonii, whilst the Ceara rubber, Manihot Glasiovii, is cultivated. 



The principal set of the collection is preserved at the British 

 Museum whilst duplicates have been presented to the Kew and 

 Berlin Herbaria.
