iJEW GAMOPETAL^ FROM THE SOUTH CAMEROONS 231 



by the small heads and small bracts and calyx-lobes ; and from 

 B. Talhotii Wernham, its nearest apparent ally, by the much 

 longer corolla-tube. 



Clerodendron subpeltatum sp. nov. 



Frutex nisi novitates axesque florentes minutissimo glandular! 

 pube induti glaber, ramulis gracilibus Isevibus subteretibus striatis. 

 Folia membranacea, glandulis minutissimis lucidis plus minus 

 dense punctata, plerumque late ovata, 6-10 cm. x 1-5-7 cm., 

 apice brevissime mucronato-acuminata acutissima, basi subpeltato- 

 cordata, venis secundariis utrinque ^, petiolis gracilibus ad 5 cm. vel 

 longioribus. Flores minute undique glandulari-punctati in cymis 

 laxiusculis umbellatis alaribus necnon pseudo-terminalibus dis- 

 positi, pedunculis primariis 2-4 cm. vel longioribus, bracteis 

 minutis : calycis campanulati tubus vix 5 mm. longus, lobi ovato- 

 lanceolati acuminati acuti 10 x 3-5 mm. : corollcB tubus ad 1-7 

 cm. cujus longitudinis ca. dimidio exserto, extus minute glandulari- 

 puberulus, lobi obovato-lanceolati 1 cm. x 5 mm. basin versus 

 acuminati apice rotundati : stamina e corolla 4-5 cm. exserta, 

 antheris oblongis 2 mm. longis. 



Along road near forest — about Benito. December Ith-llth, 

 1915. Bates 800 ! 811 ! 



Allied to C. scandens P. Beauv. — but readily distinguished by 

 the markedly notched-cordate, or subpeltate, leaf-base. The 

 Abyssinian C. cordifoliwn [Volkameria cordifolia Hochst.) has 

 similar leaves, but much smaller flowers. 



I take the present opportunity to publish the description of an 

 interesting new Eubiaceous plant, collected by Archdeacon Eogers 

 at Victoria Falls, the type of which is also in the National 

 Herbarium. 



Dirichletia Rogersii Wernham sp. nov. 



Frutex ramulis sparse minute puberulis complanatis. Folia 

 chartacea lanceolata ad ovata 1-7 cm. x 1-5-3 cm., acuminata

 tia, alitor glabra ; stipidce demum vaginantes aristis tribus centrali 

 ad 3-1 mm. lateralibus multo brevioribus instructte. Flores in 

 corymbis ramulis griseo-pubescentibus dispositi, pedicellis gracili- 

 bus ad 1 cm. vel longioribus : calyx irregulariter necnon alte 

 trilobatus, in flore 3 cm. diametro excedens : corollce tubus extus

 batum formantes dilatatus. 



S. Rhodesia, Victoria Falls, 3000 ft. Bev. F. A. Bogers 5533 ! 



This species is distinct in the indumentum of the vegetative 

 parts and large flowers with very distinctly three-lobed calyx.
