60 SOUTH NIGERIAN PLANTS 
1:25 mm., style 1 mm. long; basal part of stigma 1 mm. long, and 
lobes the same length. Berry almost 1 dem. in diameter. 
A remarkable plant, recognised at once by the stipule-like trans- 
formed axillary glands. The flowers having become dry in a manner 
rendering dissection very difficult, recourse has been had to Mrs. 
Talbot's excellent coloured drawing for details of thecorolla. (S. Moore.)

Oban; n. 1088. : 
Leaves 6-8:5 em. x 2°5-3 em.; petiole 2-4 mm. long. Secondary 
veins many, not usually well-marked throughout the leaf. Cymes 
approximately spherical, about 2:5 cm. in diameter. Flowers about 
6 mm. long. Calyx barely 8 mm. long. Corolla-tube 8:5 mm. ; lobes 
3 mm. long. 
A very distinct species, with the general habit of a Clitandra, at 
once recognisable by the very small flowers, the chaffy bracts and 
sepals, and the close-veined leaves.

nisi bracteis sepalisque minute ciliolatis glaberrimus ; foliis 
coriaceis plerumque oblongis basi obtusis vel rotundatis apice 
breviter subito acuminatis obtusissimis breviter petiolatis, venis 
secundariis dense approximatis rectis nec valde conspicuis ; cymis 
multifloris sessilibus alaribus, bracteis parvis ovato-lanceolatis 
subacutis patentibus ; florum pedicellatorum sepalis ovatis obtusis ; 
corollae tubo gracili lobos lanceolatos acuminatos obtusiusculos

Oban ; n. 1577. 
Leaves 10-16 em. long (including acumen about 1*3 em. long) and 
5-6 em. broad; petiole-barely 1 cm. long. Sepals 1 mm. long. 
Corolla-tube 1-1:4 cm., the cream-coloured lobes 6-9 mm. 
Related, apparently, to C. eirrhosa Radlk., but at once distinguish- 
able by the shape of the corolla-lobes.
