NEW GENERA OF S, AFRICAN PLANTS. 21 
cies. Asa genus, it is perhaps nearer to Grumilea than to 
Psychotria, but seems distinct from both. I may add that 
* Psychotria 3470 a,” of Drege's Herbarium is Pittosporum 
viridiftorum.

erectus, brevis, 5-fidus. Corolla infundibuliformis, tubo 
brevi obconico, fauce hirsuta, limbi 5-partiti lobis patentibus, 
oblongis, obtusis, zestivatione contorto-imbricatis. Stamina 5, 
fauce inserta, exserta; filamenta brevissima; anthere lanceo- 
late, subsessiles. Stylus brevissimus ; st ma maximum, 
exsertum, fusiforme, striato-lamellatum, bifidum, lobis

Bacca carnosa, globosa, calycis limbo connivente coronata, 
dipyrena. Frutex Natalensis ; foliis lanceolatis, v. ovato- 
lanceolatis, acutis, glabris, bred petiolatis ; cymis corym-

K. floribunda, nob.—No. 121 of Dr. Krauss’s Natal plants. 
I had previously received good specimens, both in flower 
and fruit, of this handsome shrub, from a soldier of the 
72nd Regt. whom I employed to collect for me at Port Natal. 
In habit, it is not unlike Carporhalis lanceolata of Meyer, 
though readily distinguished by the slightly exserted stamens 
and the very remarkable stigma. I wish it to bear the name 
of Dr. Krauss, whose herbarium, formed at Port Natal, 
though small, contains several new and curious genera. 
5. Penranisia. Calycis tubus oblongus; limbus 5-fidus, 
dentibus valde inæqualibus, 1-2-3 maximis, foliaceis, reliquis

hirsuta, limbo 5-partito, lobis apice inflexis, cstivatione 
valvatis. Stamina 5, corolle fauce inserta, exserta v. inclusa. 
Stylus exsertus ; stigma bifidum. Ovarium biloculare; ovula 
in loculis solitaria. Fructus?....Herbe hirsute v. eg
