NEW EBENACEiE EROM PORTUGUESE CONGO. 

 By W. P. HiEitsr, M.A., F.R.S. 



The species hereunder described, as well as three or four other 

 Fbenaceai not new to science, form part of a large and important col- 

 lection recently sent to the Natural History Museum by Mr. Johannes 

 Gossweiler, a collector favourably known for his valuable work 

 during several years in Angola. This time it is the Mayumbe district 

 lying close to and north of the mouth of the Congo which has been 

 the chief scene of his labours. Besides Buco Zau, the habitat of the 

 three new species here described, specimens were obtained from 

 several other places, among which Belize is worthy of special mention. 

 The result has been to add a considerable number of novelties to the 

 flora of this little known part of Africa.
