152 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



A very remarkable plant on account of its lowly habit and 

 small leaves. 



Canthium Randii, sp. nov. Arbor altitudine mediocri, 

 ramulis ultimis foliosis cinereo- vel fusco-corticatis glabris novellis 

 scabriuscule pubescentibus, foliis majusculis brevipetiolatis ovatis 

 vel ovato-suborbicularibus apicem versus attenuatis obtusis basi 

 late rotundatis nonnunquam leviter cordatis papyraceis supra 

 scabriusculis subtus ad nervos scabriuscule pubescentibus in sicco 

 utrobique viridibus, stipulis triangularibus superne in acumen sat 

 longum productis mox dehiscentibus dorso scabriusculis aliquanto 

 resinosis, floribus parvis 5-meris in cymis axillaribus pedunculatis 

 laxis quam folia brevioribus scabriuscule pubescentibus digestis 

 cymulis scorpioideis plurifloris, pedicellis ovario subaequilongis, 

 ovario turbinato scabriuscule pubescente, calyce valde abbreviato 

 ore truncate, corollae tubo late cylindrico lobis oblongo-ovatis 

 acutiusculis aequilongo faucibus villosis, filamentis brevibus corollas 

 ori affixis antheris leviter exsertis ovatis subito breviter acutatis, 

 stylo crassiusculo sub stigmate attenuate glabro stigmate breviter 

 exserto oblate sphseroideo utrinque truncate longitrorsum sulcato. 



Hab. Ehodesia, among granite kopjes near Salisbury ; Rand, 

 1393. 



Folia 7"5-ll cm. long., 5-9*5 cm. lat. ; costse secundariae utrin- 

 que 5-6, pag. sup. planae, inf. prominulae etsi tenues, ascendentes 

 vel ascendenti-patulse, paullulum arcuatae ; petioli 5-10 mm. long., 

 scabriuscule pubescentes. Stipulse fuscae, 7-8 mm. long. Cymae 

 bene evolutae 3-5 x 6 mm. Pedunculus + 1 cm. long. ; pedicelli 

 circa 1 mm. Flores albi. Ovarium 1-2 mm., calyx -25 mm. long. 

 Corolla tota 5 mm. long. ; tubus 2-5 x 2-5 mm. Filamenta -3 mm., 

 antherae paullulum ultra 1 mm. long. Stylus 3 mm. long., stigma 

 1 X 1"25 mm. 



The inflorescence is much that of C. discolor Hiern, but the 

 leaves and fiowers have many points of difference. 



Fadogia Kaessneri, sp. nov. Caulibus pluribus ascendenti- 

 bus sesqui-bispithameis subdistanter foliosis tetragonis glabris, 

 foliis plerumque ternatis brevissime petiolatis ovatis vel ovato- 

 oblongis obtusis vel obtusissimis rare retusis basi rotundatis 

 coriaceis utrinque glabris, stipulis a basi lata subulatis intus 

 pubescentibus, floribus pro rata parvis in fasciculis axillaribus 

 pedunculatis paucifloris digestis, pedicellis ovarium plane exce- 

 dentibus ut pedunculus foliis brevier glabris, ovario subhemi- 

 sphaerico 3-loculo glabro, calycis limbo ovarfo breviore brevissime 

 5-dentato, corollas extus glabrae tubo sursum levissime ampli- 

 ficato intus villoso lobis 5 oblongo-lanceolatis acuminatis tubo 

 circa aequilongis intus minute sericeo-tomentosis, antheris ori 

 insertis, stylo exserto dimidio inf. incrassato superne attenuate 

 glabro, stigmate pileato.
