juxta medium crista parva erosa ; gynostegio corona* phyllts multo 

 breviore ; antherarum appendice parva rotundata inrlexa ; polliniis 

 oblongo-pyril'ormibus quam caudieuhe longioribus ; si iy mate apice 

 depresso. 



Transvaal, Griffin mine, Pietersb'urg Division; A. Theiler (lib. 

 Rogers, 28990). 



Folia pleraque 7"5-9 em. long., majora basi 2-3 cm. paullo intra 

 apicem 5-7 mm. lat. ; exstant folia minora raro nsque 3 em. dhninuta ; 

 petioli 4-8 mm. long. Pedunculus 45 cm. long. Bractese nsque 

 L5 mm. long., sed plerumque breviores se. 5-10 mm. Pedieelli 

 8-9 mm. long. Calycis segmenta 3 - 5 mm., corolla? lobi mm., 

 corona? phylla 1 mm. long. Gynostegium 225 mm. alt. Pollinia 

 fere 1 mm. long. 



The lanceolate broad-based leaves, coupled with the relatively long 

 coronal leaves ending bluntly and without an indexed point, serve to 

 distinguish this plant, which does not seem closely allied to any 

 congener.

Appearance much of >S. Jiouxli Rolfe, but the flowers are different 

 in several respects. 



EUPHOBBIACE.2E. 



Euphorbia espinosa Pax. South Rhodesia, Wankie, 18420. 



E. Knuthit Pax. Portuguese East Africa, Mallana, 22482. 



PAiYiEUSA, sp. nov. Archdeacon Rogers found at Elisabethville 

 (No. 26200) a fruiting specimen belonging to this hitherto mono- 

 typic Angolan genus. Although certainly different from P. dasy- 

 fjhylla Welw., in the absence of flowers it has been thought better 

 not to describe it.
