76 THE PLANTS OF WELWITSCH*S APONTAMENTOS. 



LENSis Welw. Syn. Expl. 40 (1862); Wendl. in Bot. Zeit. 



xxxix. 91 (1881) ; Welw. Herb. 6662, 6670. 

 Pandanus [Candelabnun Flor. Nigr. ?) Welw. Apont. 686, no. 36 = 



= P. Welwitschii Rendle in Joiirn. Bot. 1894, 324, t. 347 ; 



Welw. Herb. 5770; Coll. Carp. 1015. 

 Lemna ^QUiNocTiAiiis Welw. Apont. 578 ; Herb. 206 = L. aiifjolensis 



Welw. ex Hegelmaier in Jouru. Bot. 1865 ; Herb. 206. 

 Dichrolepis pusilla Welw. Apont. 642. A comparison of tickets with 



the note shows that this is the plant subsequently called fcV/o- 



caulon j uncoides by Welwitsch in Herb. (2446). 

 Cyperus Gintje Welw. Apont. 542, 586, no. 37 = C. flabelliformis 



Eottb. ex C. B. Clarke in Consp. Fl. Afr. v. 562 ; Welw. Herb. 



6382, 7103 ; Coll. Carp. 1066. 

 Antrolepis anthemiflora Welw. Apont. 578 = Ascolepis anthemiflora 



Welw. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxvii. 78 ; Antr. leucocej)hala Welw. 



I. c. = AsG. Protea /?. bellidiflora Welw. I. c. ; Antr. sulphurea 



and Antr. Santolina Welw. /. c. 77 = Asc. Protea y. santo- 



LiNoiDEs Welw. /. c. ; Antr. elata Welw. I. c. = Asc. elata Welw. 



^.c. 79. 

 Andropofjon stypticus Welw. Syn. 27, no. 61 ; Coll. Carp. 1093. 



This name is not taken up in Index Kewensis, Consp. Fl. 



Afric^e, nor by Hackel in DC. Mon. Phan. vi. The name does 



not occur in Welvvitsch's herbarium, but a correlation of the 



notes on his 7526 with those in iSyn. leaves no doubt as to the 



identity of the number. 

 Eleusine textilis Welw. in Murray's Journal of Travel, i. 31 (1858) 



— E. indica Gaertn. Var. ex Welw. Apont. 541, and Herb. 2988. 

 Eleusine Luco Welw. Herb. [2702, 2768, 2949]; Apont. 591, 



no. 100 = E. coRACANA var. ex Welw. in Murr. Journ. Trav. i. 30. 

 Cyathea ^thiopica Welw. Apont. 538, 587, no. 42 = C. avgolensis 



Welw. in Hook. Syn. Fil. 22, and in Herb. 83, 186. 

 Marattia cethiopica Welw. Apont. 539 = M. fraxinea Sm. ; Welw. 



Herb. 84. 

 Azolla cEthiopica Welw. Apont. 539 ; Herb. 37 = A. pinnata Br. 

 Podaxon loandense Welw. Apont, 535 ; Welw. & Curr. in Trans. 



Linn. Soc. xxvi. 288, t. xx. (loandensis) ; Herb. 115. 



The recent revival of interest in Tropical African plants has 

 resulted in the nearly simultaneous description of new species 

 fouuded on Welwitsch's numbers, some instances of which 1 have 

 given in this Journal for 1894, pp. 84-86. The W^elwitsch plants 

 described by Mr. Kolfe in the Uoletim de Sociedade Brutcriana are 

 most of them given elsewhere, but it is not easy to decide which 

 name takes priority. In one case Mr. Rolfe's must certainly go : 

 Diplorhindius [Dlplorhynclnis] Welwitschii Rolfe {I.e. xi. 85), Welw. 

 Herb. 5968, is preceded by V. anyoleiisis Biittner in Verhandl. 

 Brandenb. xxxi. 85 (1890), founded on the same number. Oclma 

 Welivitschii Eolfe (/. c. 84) (Welw. Herb. nos. 4594, 4597) does not 

 aj)pear to me to differ, so far at any rate as the latter number goes, 

 from the type-specimen of C*. Afzelii Br. in Herb. Mus. Brit., nor 

 from Prof. Oliver's description of that plant (in Fl. Trop. Afr. i. 319).
