PLANTS PROM THE EKET DISTRICT, S. NIGERIA 9 



umbellate cyme of small heads, each of about 1'8 cm. diameter, 

 and comprising as many as a dozen small, ellipsoidal, longi- 

 tudinally furrowed glabrous berries 5 mm. long and 3'5 mm. 

 broad. Each berry is crowned by the persistent, membranous, 

 reddish calyx-limb 1-5 mm. high, with short, narrow, sub-setaceous 

 teeth. The branches of the inflorescence, like the peduncle 

 (7-8 cm.), are densely rufo-pubescent ; the whole inflorescence 

 measures over 7 cm. across. The reddish, papery bracts are from 

 6-10 mm. long. The single leaf which the specimen bears is 

 glabrous (except for the puberulous midrib below), obovate 

 narrowed toward the base into a petiole about 1 cm. long, 

 and shortly acuminate with subacute apex ; the blade measures 

 22 cm. X 10 cm. ; secondary nerves about 20 pairs. 



I have little doubt that this plaut is a fruiting specimen of 

 C. cornuia Hiern. The latter species (Fl. Trop. Afr. iii. 224) is 

 based on a specimen gathered in Old Calabar by Dr. Robb, and 

 preserved in the National Herbarium. This consists of about ten 

 loose inflorescences in the flowering stage, with a couple of more 

 or less immature leaves. The structure and indumentum of the 

 inflorescence, the bracts, and the calyx, are all identical with those 

 in Talbot's plant, and the leaves of Robb's specimen may be 

 reasonably conceived as representing an earlier stage of the leaf 

 in the plant before us.
