LoANDA. — A shrublet, 2 to 4 ft. high ; stems numerous, as well as the 

 branches whitish and angular ; leaves herbaceous, pallid-glaucescent 

 beneath, with pellucid veins ; flowers yellowish in the bud. In dry 

 bushy hilly places above Forte de Penedo and in Adansonia plantations

Bumbo. — A tall shrub of 8 to 10 ft. in height, perhaps the young

 flowers whitish. At the outskirts of primitive forests near Bumbo, 

 close to the base of the mountains of Serra da Xella, among other 

 shrubs ; not yet in good fl. Oct. 1859. No. 337. 



In our specimens the leaves are small, ^ to f in. long, and the 

 branchlets are sometimes spinescent at the tip ; it is therefore difficult 

 to distinguish them from F. Leucopyrus^Tlldi. Sp. PI. iv. p. 757 (1806), 

 the type species of the genus, although Muell. arg., Z.c, quotes No. 337 

 under his S. ohovata ; perhaps the two species will require to be 

 united.
