7.2 THE PLANTS OF WELWITSCH's APONTAMENTOS. 



name Tumhna for the plant generally known as Welivitschin ; in the 

 face of the full diagnosis of Tumhoa published in Journ. Linn. Soc. 

 V. 185 (18G1), no other course could have been adopted, the author's 

 consent to the substitution of Welwitsc/iia (see Trans. Linn. Soc. 

 xxiv. 3 (18G3) ) notwithstanding. 



MoNODORA ANGOLENsis Welw. Apont. 587, no. 43 ; Syn. 31, no. 7G ; 



Herb. 774-6 ; Fl. Trop. Afr. i. 38 ; Trans. Linn. Soc. xxvii. t. i. 

 Nasturtium (ClaitdestuKtria) acaule Welw. Herb. 1197-8; Apont. 



589, no. 68 = N. humifusum Guill. k Perr. 

 Baitcriit africana Welw. in Arch. So. Phys. xi. 200 (nomen) = Bra- 



SENiA peltata Pursh. 

 Cleome oleracea Welw. Herb. 9586; Apont. 555, no. 26 = Gynan- 



DROPSIS PENTAPHYLLA DC. 



CocHLOspERMUM ANGOLENSE Wclw. Apont. 566 ; Herb. 544-5, and in 

 Fl. Trop. Afr. i. 113. 



Lophostylis Jhribunda Welw. Apont. 562; Herb. 994 = Securidaca 

 Welwitschii Oliv. in Fl. Trop. Afr. i. 135. 



Actinostif/ina speciosum Welw. Apont. 560 ; Syn. 9, no. 12 = Dactijl- 

 anthem Welw. Apont. 560 = Symphonia globifera Linn. f. var. 

 AFRICANA Vesque in DC. Mon. Phan. viii. 230 ; Herb. 1052. 



Bomhycella bicolor Welw. Apont. 558, 589, no. 67 ; Herb. 4988-9 

 = Hibiscus micranthus L. 



HuGONiA macrocarpa Welw. Herb. 1586 ; Apont. 585, no. 21 = H. ango- 

 lensis Welw. Herb, ex Oliv. Fl. Trop. Afr. i. 271. The restoration 

 of the earlier name for this plant prevents a certain ambiguity 

 which might attach to that adopted by Prof. Oliver. In his 

 Herbarium, Welwitsch named two plants angolensis — the one 

 already cited (no. 1586) and no. 1584, which is described in Fl. 

 Trop. Afr. i. 272, as H. platysepala Welw. MSS. Neither this 

 name nor H. macrocarpa appears on Welwitsch's tickets, but the 

 identity of no. 1586 with H. macrocarpa is clearly established by 

 the description and geographical distribution. 



Tribulus micans Welw. Apont. 566 =: T. terrestris ft. cistoides ex 

 Oliv. in Fl. Trop. Afr. i. 284. The name micans does not occur 

 in Welw. Herb., but the description and locality of his 1579 

 entirely correspond with the notes /. c. 



Biophytiun Umbraculum Welw. Herb. 1612 ; Apont. 567, 590, 

 no. 87 = B. sensitivum DC. To his printed note in Apont. 

 ''B. sensitivo toto caelo diversa," Welwitsch has added in MS. 

 "quoad aspectum sed vix specifice." 



Swietenia ANGOLENSIS Welw. Hei'b. 1313; Apont. 561, 587, no. 46; 

 Syn. 11, no. 21, 31, no. 75; Coll. Carp. 311 ; DC. Mon.Phan.i. 724. 



Melia atliiopica Welw. Apont. 584, no. 5 = M. Bombolo Welw. I.e. 

 561; Syn. 12, no. 24; Herb. 1298; Coll. Carp. 310; C. DC. in 

 DC. Mon. Phan. i. 45 i (sphalmate M. Ba)ubolo) : in this Mono- 

 graph (p. 451) M. cFthiopica is erroneously cited as a synonym 

 of M. Azedarach. Mr. Hiern (Fl. Brit. Ind. i. 645) refers both 

 M. Bombolo and M. cethiopica to M. dubia Cav. The identity of 

 M. (Etliiopica with M. Bombolo is asserted by Welwitsch in a 

 MS. note in the Apontamentos, and confirmed by his tickets.
