Allied to Weihea Afzelii Oliver, but this plant has smaller 

 leaves and more numerous flowers. 



No. 3234 is closely allied but the leaves are longer.

 (Mrs. Talbot). Bamuli sursum parce strigoso-pilosi deorsum fere 

 glabri ; stipulis mox deciduis ; foliis subcoriaceis petiolo brevi 

 instructis oblongis basi acutis apice acuminatis nervis lateralibus 

 circ. 12-13 patentibus inter sese per venas tenues laxe reticulatas 

 conjunctis; inflorescentiis axillaribv;s laxiuscule racemosis rhachide 

 fulvo-tomentosa ; florih^is breviter pedicellatis ; bractcis parvis ; 

 calycis segmentis ovatis extus ferrugineo-tomentosis ; ijetalis ob-

 longioribus ; disco tubiformi brevi ; ovario piloso ; stylis filiformi- 

 bus subulatis sepala superantibus. 



Ikotobo Eoad. No. 3254. 



Leaves 14-16"5 cm. long, 45-48 mm. broad, lateral nerves 

 10-20 mm. apart. Petiole + 3 mm. long. Eacemes 6-0-10'Ocm. 

 long. Pedicels + 1 mm. long. Sepals 3-5-4-0 mm. long. Styles 

 + 7 mm. long. 



Very closely allied to S. hipindensis Gilg., but the flowers are

KUBIACE^. 



Urophyllmn eketense Wernham, sp. nov. Frutex erectus, 

 ramulis novellis valde compressis viridibus, tardius glabrescentibus 

 subteretibus cortice laivi brunneo ; foliis magis pergamaceis ob- 

 ovato-oblongis vix acuminatis, utrinque nisi subtus in venis obscure 

 puberulis glabris supra nitentibus, venis conspicuis supra impressis 

 subtus prominentibus, basin versus in petiolum minute puberulum 

 breviusculum leniter angustatis, stipiilis ovatis majusculis viridis- 

 simis appresse puberulis ; florihus in cymis axillaribus nee quasi- 

 terminalibus paniculatis minute puberulis multifloris laxiusculis 

 pedunculatis, bracteis linearibus subfiliformibus; calyce subintegro; 

 bacca pisiformi glaberrimo, 4-loculari. 



Oron-Eket main road. No. 3327. 



The leaves average from 18 cm. x 6 cm. to over 21 cm. x 8 cm. ; 

 with stalk from 2-3 cm. long ; lateral nerves, about 20 on each 

 side of the midrib. Stijndes, 1'5 cm. x 8 mm. Fruiting p)eduncles, 

 2-2-5 cm. long. 



This species has evident affinities with the Central African 

 U. viridiflorum Schweinf., but it is distinct in the shape of 

 its leaves and their longer stalks, and in the wholly axillary 

 inflorescence.
