 By Spencer le M. Moore, B.Sc., F.L.S.* 



(Continued from p. 188.) 



For the two descriptions immediately following I am indebted 

 to Mr. H. F. Wernham. 



Fadogia Rogersii Wernham, sp. nov. Frutex ramulis graci- 

 libus mox cortice cinereo glabro indutis novellis dense albo-lanatis; 

 foliis parvis ad ca. 3 cm. x 1*3 cm. apice rotunclatis basi acutis, 

 supra araneosis subtus densissime lanugine alba indutis, petiolo 

 brevissimo ; cymis 2-3-floris, sessilibus, floribus extus omnino 

 albo-arachnoideo-lanatis ; calycis limbo truncato dentibus obso- 

 letis; corolla tubo ampliuscalo insuper parum dilatato 1*8 cm. 

 longo curvato, lobis lanceolatis ad ca. 5 mm. longis. 



Congo: Elisabethville, 4800ft., Bogers, 10,221 



Distinct in the small leaves, dark-green and cottony above and 

 woolly below, and the large white flowers clothed with silky wool. 



Bogers, 10,396, from the Belgian Congo, is identical w 7 ith 

 Fadogia stigmatoloba K. Sch., based on Goetze, 1428, from Nyasa- 

 land. 



Cephaelis australis W T ernham, sp. nov. Glaberrimus, ramulis 

 validis superioribus compressis v. quadrangularibus ; foliis superi- 

 oribus lanceolatis ca. 10 cm. x 3 cm. utrinque angustatis, seni-

 breviter acuminatis, petiolo valido qua vena subtus prominens 

 centralis albido 2-3 cm. longo, venis secunclariis utrinque ca. 15, 

 stipulis membranaceis late ovatis v. oblongis ca. 2'3 cm. x 1*5 cm. 

 acuminatis ad medium v. altius bifidis, mox caducis; cajpitulis 

 paucis, pedunculo vix 1*5 cm. longo, ca. 2 cm. diam., bracteis 

 involucrantibus majusculis ovatis flores 5-6-meris occludentibus ; 

 ovario 2-3-loculari. 



S. Congo : Lufira, sixty miles north of Elisabethville, Bogers, 

 10,304 



The nearest affinity seems to be C. peduncular is Salisb., readily 

 distinguished by the long peduncles and exposed flowers. 



Helichysum (Chysolepidea § St^echadina) squamosifolium, 

 sp. nov. Caule sat tenui semispithameo erecto albo-araneoso- 

 tomentoso, foliis radicalibus desunt, caulinis paucis bracteiformibus 

 sessilibus oblongis obtusis supra fere glabris subtus margineque
