Named after Mrs. Cunliffe in recognition of her keen and 

 practical interest in the Nigerian flora.

A striking species, allied to B. octomera Bth. & Hk. f., from 

 which it differs in the more lengthily acuminate and more hairy 

 leaves, and the much larger and differently-shaped corolla-lobes. 

 The leaves are in whorls of 3 ; those at the ends of the shoots are 

 small, and very unequal, two being subequal 9-10 cm. x 2*5-3 cm., 

 and the third about 5 cm. x 1'5 cm. The adult leaves are sub- 

 equal, 10-15 cm. long (exclusive of the almost setaceous acumen 

 often over 2 cm. long) x 4'5 cm. wide above the middle ; secondary 

 veins 5-8 pairs ; the petiole is at most barely 5 mm. ; the low^er, 

 entire, part of the sti]_mles is 8 mm. wide and 3-4 mm. deep, and 

 the two setge above reach 1 cm. in length. Calyx-ixxhe and ovary 

 together 2 cm. long, calyx-lobes 3-4-5 cm. Coro?/a-tube— the 

 slender tubular part — 14 cm. long, the funnel-shaped upper part 

 about 3 cm. deep, and 4-4*5 cm. wide at the mouth ; corolla- 

 lobes 7-8 cm. x 1-1*5 cm. Anthers 2 cm. long. Stigma exserted 

 2*5 cm. 



The species is named after Major Galton, of Hadzor, Droitwich, 

 whose interest in the Nigerian flora has led him to attempt the 

 introduction of Nigerian trees and shrubs on his English estate. 



" Calyx very dark green ; corolla-tube bright green, lobes white 

 within and divided on the back longitudinally into a bright green 

 half and a creamish-white half ; stamens light drab ; style and 

 stigma cream " (Mrs. Talbot).

Allied to the preceding species, but readily distinguished by 

 the habit, the shape and colouring of the leaves, flat calyx-lobes,
