leaves, and, jiiclging from the figure in Bot. Jabrb. xxiii. t. 13, its 

 flowers are most like tbose of Riva's plant ; but it has several 

 points wbicb mark it out as being undoubtedly a distinct species. 



Streptocarpus Vandeleuri Bak. fil. & S. Moore, sp. nov. 

 Folio unico ? ovato basi cuneato supra pilis elongatis stramineis 

 basi bulbiferis hispidissimo subtus pallidiori et scabridulo necnon 

 secus nervos araneoso margine undulato ibique aculeis curvatis 

 pilis similibus nisi robustioribus obsito, pedunculo piloso in speci- 

 mine nostro 11-floro, calycis lobis linearibus pilosis, corollfe tubo 

 tubuloso-infundibulari curvato a basi ipsa ^quilato limbi admodum 

 obliqui lobis late ovatis obtusis, staminibus inclusis, filamentis 

 sparsissime glandulosis juxta medium tubum affixis, ovario quam 

 corollcT tubus multo breviore una cum stylo dense glanduloso- 

 pubescente, stigmate capitato, capsula .

Folium circa 19 cm. long, et 10*5 cm. lat. ; nervi utriusque 

 faciei prominuli, nervi secundarii utrinque circiter 15, leviter 

 curvati. Calycis lobi circa 1*0 cm. long. Corollre tubus circa 

 3-5 cm. long., 0-7-0-9 cm. lat. Flores ex scheda cl. inventoris 

 albi. Filamenta 1-0 cm. long., maxima pro parte dilafcata ; antherse 

 vix 0-4 cm. long. Ovarium 1-5 cm. long., 0*2 cm. lat., in stylum 

 1-2 cm. long, desinens. 



This striking plant belongs apparently to the unifoliate section, 

 but we are not certain about this, seeing that our material consists 

 only of an inflorescence and a detached leaf. As will be seen from 

 the measurements, it is one of the largest- flowered species of the 

 genus. Its affinity is with S. Dunnii Hook. fil. (Bot. Mag. t. 6903) 

 and S. Cooper i C. B. Cl. It differs markedly from its allies in the 

 greater (and uniform throughout) breadth of the corolla tube, and 

 this organ is more distinctly curved than is the case with that of 

 S, Dunnii. 



Streptocarpus Armitagei Bak. fil. & S. Moore, sp. nov. 

 Folio unico oblongo vel ovato-oblongo obtuso margine irregu- 

 lariter crenato-lobulato sessili crassiusculo molliter tomentoso pras- 

 sertim subtus reticulatim venoso supra inter venas bullulato costa 

 crassa subtus villosa pagina iuferiore glandulis parvis rubris dense 

 obsita, pedunculis 1 ?-5-nis dense pubescentibus circa 20-floris, 

 pedicellis pro genere perbrevibus, calycis lobis lanceolatis vel lineari- 

 oblongis pubescentibus necnon glandulis rubris onustis, corolla ei 

 S. Dunnii Hook. fil. subsimili sed deorsum minus attenuata levis- 

 sime curvata extus piloso-pubescente aliquatenus rubro-glandulosa, 

 staminibus inclusis, antheris reniformibus, staminodiis minutissimis, 

 ovario brevi sessili leviter torto cano-tomentoso, stylo quam ovarium 

 circa 5-plo longiore deorsum piloso sursum clavato, capsula .
