Bugunu, Vanderysf 4294 ! 28 May, 1914. 



Distinguishable by the simple stipules, the bracts, and the small 

 flowers. Leaves 9^12 cm. X 5-6 cm., petiole to S mm. long ; stipule 

 as much as 1 cm. in length. Main rachis of inflorescence about 5 cm. 

 long, lowest lateral peduncles 1 cm. or longer. Bracts to 7 mm. 

 Corolla tube 5-6 mm. long, lobes 1"5 mm. long. Anthers 1 mm. 

 long. 



' The present opportunity is taken to publish descriptions of the 

 two following interesting species, collected by Bates in the Came- 

 roons : — 



Globulostylis cuvieroides, sp. nov. Arbor parvus patens glabra 

 ramulis Isevibus striatis graciliusculis. Folia papyracea elliptico- 

 oblonga apice acmuinata obtusissima basi subito acuta, petiolo 

 breviusculo : vence primariae supra impressse subtus prominulse, late- 

 rales distantes titrinque 5-6 intra marginem arcuatim anastomosantes, 

 Flares majusculi simplicibus in umbellis pedunculatis +5-floris dis- 

 positi pedicellati, hracteis linearibus ad lanceolatis basi plus minus 

 connatis. Calycis lobi oblongo-lineares apice rotundati. Corollcs 

 tubus latus necnon bi-evis, lobi ovato-Ianceolati acuminati cvicullato- 

 acutissimi. Sfi/li globus lobulatus densissime tomentosus ceterum 

 glabri. 



Cameroon Mts. : Bitye, Yaunde, Bates 1016 ! 



A small spreading tree, in swamp. Calj^x light-green ; corolla 

 dark brownish green ; style white. Leaves about 13 cm. x 4'5 cm., 

 with petiole about 1 cm. long ; stipules loosely sheathing to a depth 

 of some 3 mm., bearing interpetiolar, more or less decurrent, subulate 

 apicull 3 mm. long. Primary axillary peduncle 1-1'8 cm. long ; 

 bracts 9 mm X 2*5 mm. Pedicels 1-1 "5 cm. Caly x-iwhQ and ovary 

 4 mm. deep; calyx-lobes 1*6 cm. x 5 mm. C or oil a -tnhii 5-6 mm. 

 long, ±5 mm. wide at mouth; lobes 1"3 cm. x 6 mm. Anther 

 1"5 mm., filaments 3 mm. long. Whole style 1"2 cm. long, including 

 the globe, 3 ram. high, its base 2 mm. above the base of the style, 

 6 mm. length of style above globe, and the stigma 1 mm. height 

 above that : the globe is 6 mm. in horizontal diameter. 



This, the third species of my genus Globustylis, published in Cat. 

 Tabl. Nig. PL 49, is of especial interest from its likeness to Cuviera, 

 emphasized by the elongation of the peduncles and pedicels, and by 

 the elongated calyx-lobes, which features readily distinguisli it from 

 the two species previously described ; while the simply umbellate 

 inflorescence, and the globe upon the style, cause it to be assigned 

 without doubt to the genus in question.
