oblongo-ovatis apice breviter et inaequaliter bilobis; racemis 
tenuibus axillaribus 2—3-floris, pedunculo filiformi bracteis 1-2

Oban ; n. 889. 
Stems 10-22 em. long; internodes about 8 mm. long, with enve- 
loping sheath 2-3 mm. broad. Leaves 2°5-4 em. long, 1:3-1:8 cm. 
broad. Racemes about 3 cm. long; lower bracts 2°5-3 mm. long; 
Jlowering bracts 3-3:5 mm. Flowers membranous when dry; sepals 
9*5 mm. long by barely 2:5 mm. broad. Petals barely 8:5 mm. long 
by 1:5 mm. broad; lip as long as the petals, with a low keel running 
. for about half the distance from the middle towards the base; spur 
6:5 mm. long. 
Of the same circle of affinity as the last species (4. angustipetalum), 
but differs in its short broad leaves and smaller flowers. Evidently 
closely allied (from the description) to A: affine Schlechter from the 
Cameroons, which, however, has larger oblong-ligulate leaves. : 
Angraecum multinominatum nom. nov. The synonymy of 
this species is as follows :—Listrostachys clavata Rendle in Journ. 
Bot. xxxiii. 251 (1895); Mystacidium clavatum Rolfe in Flor. 
Trop. Afr. vii. 172 (1897); Angraecum clavatum Schlechter in 
Engler, Bot. Jahrb. xxxviii. 20 (1905), non Rolfe op. cit. 145. 
Angraecum Dorotheae Rendle sp. nov. Planta caule 
lignoso radicibus crassiusculis frequentibus scandente ; foliis 
coriaceis multinerviis cuneato-oblongis vel cuneato-ligulatis plus 
minusve falcatis apice asymmetrice acutis; racemis numerosis 
axillaribus (saepe geminis) folia aequantibus vel longioribus paene 
ad basin floriferis ; bracteis brevibus truncatis amplexicaulibus ; 
Jloribus siccis pallidis inter minores; sepalo dorsali. elliptico- - 
lanceolato acuto 3-nervio vix carinato, sepp. lateralibus dorsali 
similibus apice crassiusculis minute cucullatis dorso carinatis ; 
petalis oblongo-lanceolatis subacutis sub medio 3-nerviis ; labello 
late ellipsoideo valde apiculato integro margine crispulo, ore 
anguste infundibuliforme in calcar curvulum tenue sub medio 
leviter incrassatum transeunte; columma crassa, rostello producto 
apice bifido. (Pl. 15, figs. 3—5.)
