XXXVI._NEW PLANTS FROM 
TROPICAL AND SOUTH AFRICA COLLECTED BY 
ARCHDEACON F. A. ROGERS. 
N. E. Brown. 
In the course of naming a collection of plants made by 
Archdeacon F. A. Rogers in South-eastern Congo, Rhodesia 
and South Africa, numerous species were found to be unre- 
presented in either the Kew or British Museum Herbaria and 
could not be identified from books; they are therefore presumed 
to be undescribed, and those of which the material is adequate 
are described below. They give evidence of the wealth of new 
plants that doubtless yet remain to be discovered in those regions. 
Type specimens of all of them have very generously been 
presented to the Kew Herbarium by Archdeacon Rogers. 
ew additional species met with in the course of working 
out Archdeacon Rogers’ plants have also been included.
