The greater portion of Mr. Lely’s collection is included in 
the present paper, but a few specimens still remain for more 
critical examination and comparison with other herbaria. 
Amongst these are a number of striking Orchids, mostly species 
of the genus Habenaria, which is so largely represented in the 
Tropical African Flora. I have, however, ventured to describe 
two species of Orchids which appear to be new, namely, Hulophia 
propinqua and Satyrium nigericum, the latter genus not having 
been recorded previously from Upper Guinea. The ground 
orchids of Northern Nigeria, and of the Bauchi plateau in 
particular, are worthy of special study, and further contributions 
of them from Mr. Lely would probably provide material for a 
Berlin from the Cameroons, and with Chevalier’s collections in 
Paris, few of which are represented in this country. In the 
case of these two new Orchids, and, indeed, with nearly all the 
new species of the collection, the affinity is again decidedly with 
plants native of East and South-East Tropical Africa, and not 
with Upper Guinea. 
For the preliminary determination of many of. the specimens 
enumerated in the following list I am much indebted to Miss K, 
Pearce and Mr. E. G. Dunk, whilst Dr. Stapf, Mr. C. H. Wright 
and Mr. W. B. Turrill have brought their special knowledge to 
bear on the Lentibulariaceae, Ferns and Acanthaceae respectively, 
and Mr. Turrill has taken great care in the determination of the 
Ceropegias, including the striking C. Ledermannit figured on 
. 388. For the more artistic text figures (Nos. 3, 6, 7, 10) I am 
greatly indebted to Mr. A. Kellett.
