40 SOUTH NIGERIAN PLANTS 
Uncaria Talbotii Wernham sp. nov. Frutex ramulis tetra- 
gonis in angulis pubescentibus ; foliis latiuscule lanceolatis bre- 
viter acuminatis apice obtusiusculo basi rotundatis, supra glabris 
infra praecipue super venas ferrugineo-pubescentibus, nervis 
secundariis distantibus, petiolo breve puberulo; floribus majusculis 
pro rata longe pedicellatis ; calyce ut pedicello dense ferrugineo- 
sericeo, tubi parte epigyna infundibulari ovarium excedente lobis 
triangularibus obtusis ; corollae extus griseo-sericez tubo gracili 
longissimo lobis oblongis mucronulatis ; stigmate parum ampliato. 
Oban ; n. 168. 
Leaves 9-11 em. long, 3-4 em. broad; petioles to 9 mm. long. 
Capitulum 8-9 cm. in diameter. Pedicels to more than 1 em. long. 
Part of calyx-tube above ovary 8 mm. long, lobes 1*5 mm. long. 
Corolla-tube 2'5 cm., lobes 5 mm. long, 3 mm. broad. 
Differs from U. africana G. Don, the only other African species 
hitherto described, especially in the much longer corolla-tube and in 
the hairy covering of the shoot. 
Pausinystalia Talbotii Wernham sp. nov. Arbor Cory- 
nanthis habitu nisi inflorescentia glabra; foliis elliptico-oblongis 
glaberrimis supra nitentibus, utrinque brevissime acuminatis 
apice subacuto, petiolis longiusculis, venis prominentibus mediana 
supra canaliculata ; stipulis lanceolatis mox deciduis ; floribus 
sessilibus in paniculis multifloris trichotomis minutissime fulvo- 
pubescentibus longiuscule pedunculatis nec folia excedentibus ; 
calyce extus ut inflorescentiae ramulis induto dentibus deltoideis 
minutis intus dense tomentosis; corollae glaberrimae tubo intra 
calycem brevissime cylindraceo supra globoso sulcato, lobis linear- 
ibus crassiusculis. 
Oban ; n. 1493. 
Leaves 19-16 cm. long, 5-6 em. broad, with 10-12 secondary veins 
on each side of the midrib, making with it an angle of about 50°, 
somewhat curved. Stipules 1-5 cm. long, 3-4 mm. broad. Flowers 
about 1 em. long, of which about 1 mm. is oceupied by the calyx. 
Corolla-lobes 7-8 mm. 
This species is readily distinguishable from those previously 
described by the relatively thick corolla-lobes and the conspicuously 
pubescent calyces. 
Mussaenda Afzelioides Wernham sp.nov. Frutex scandens 
ramulis teretibus vel sulcatis fulvo-tomentosis ; foliis ovalibus 
breviter acuminatis acutis basi plerumque obtusis, infra palli- 
dioribus, utrinque breviter scabro-hispidis, venis praesertim subtus 
conspicuis, petiolo breve; stipulis triangularibus extus dense 
sericeo-pubescentibus acutis saepius bifidis; floribus in cymis 
pedunculatis tomentosis densis pedicellatis ; calycis lobis oblongis 
acutis extus appresse flavo-pubescentibus, uno nonnunquam in 
laminam petiolatam ovalem hispidam basi angustatam apice
