Crassocephalum longirameum, sp. nov. Serla erecta verisimi- 

 liter cireiter 2-spithamea ; caiUe pauciramoso quadrangular! subdis- 

 tanter folioso minute puberulo postea glabro ; foliis sessilibus lineari- 

 bus acutis obtusisve supra glabris subtus minute pubescentibus ; 

 capifulis corymbum terminalem folia plane excedentem bracteatum 

 oligoceplialum constituentibus ; involucri obovoidei puberuli phyllis 

 8 inter se inaequilatis oblongis acutis dorso eleganter striatis margine 

 anguste membranaceis ; flosculis ultra 50 exsertis verlsimiliter flavis ; 

 styll ramis appendice filiformi elongata prseditis ; aclKBiiiis (hucusque 

 crudis) linearibus 5-costatis costis minute pilosulis ; pappi setis 

 scabriusculis albis. 



Bandundu ; Vanderyst, 3562. 



Folia usque 5 cm. long., sed plerumque breviora, superiora grada- 

 tim iraminuta, applanata summum 2 mm. lat., marginibus revolutis 

 vero circa 1 mm. Bractese anguste lineares, + 5 mm. long. Capi- 

 tula pansa 8x10 mm. Inv^olucrum 6 mm. long. Corolbe inferne 

 angustissimae, superne gradatim dilatatae, 7 mm. long, (inclusis lobis 

 linearibus longit. 2 mm. paullulum excedentibus). Styli rami in 

 to to 2*2 mm. long., liorum appendix 1 mm. AchtBuia circa 1 mm., 

 pappus 5 mm. long. 



This would be taken on sight for an Emilia. The narrow leaves 

 and curiously long appendages to the style-arms are easil}^ recognized 

 peculiarities. 



AcANTHACEiE. 



Htgrophila Gigas Burkill {H. Gilletii De Wild, ex ic. et 

 descript.). Bokala ; Vanderi/sf, 4^824^. 



The type-specimen, a small one in the Kew herbarium, agrees 

 exactly, so far as it goes, with the excellent ligure of H. Gilletii in 

 Ann. Mus. Congo, ser. v. i. 314. 



Hygrophila (§ Eu-Hygrophila) Vanderystii, sp. nov. Herba 

 ^|-spithamea ; caule basi repente hac atque iliac rad^cante inde 

 erecto fere omnimodo folioso tetragono nodis pilosis exemptis glabro ; 

 foliis sessilibus anguste lineari-lanceolatis superioribus linearibus in 

 marginibus costaque centrali pag. inf. appresse subsparsim scabridis ; 

 Jlorihus pro axilla paucis subsessilibus foliis floralibus linearibus 

 ciliatis calyce ssepe longioribus stipatis ; calycis triente inferiori 

 gamosepali segmentis inter se fere sequalibus anguste linearibus 

 acutis ; corollcR tubo calyce breviore inferne contracto limbo quam 

 tubus paullo breviore la bio postico plicato lobo intermedio quam 

 laterales latiore ; filamentis basi per paria coalitis ; ovario oblongo 

 acuto glabro ; ovulis pro loculo fere 20. 



Wombali ; Vanderyst, 4255. 



Planta cireiter 50 cm. alt. Folia pleraque 4-6 cm. long., pauca 

 inferiora 4 mm. lat., cetera 1 •5-2*5 mm., in sicco fuscescentia. Folia 

 floralia usque 12 mm. long. Calyx 10 mm. long. Corolla 12 mm. 

 long.; tubus 7 mm. long., 1-1*5 mm. lat., sub limbo 3 mm.; labia 

 5 mm. long., lobis circa 1*5 mm. Ovarium 2*5 mm. long., minute 

 puberula. Stylus 6*5 mm. long. 



Known by its narrow leaves and small flowers with calyx-lobes 

 almost equal among themselves.
