The Natal specimen has longer pedicels (1-4 mm. long, articu- 
late 0-8 mm. below the apex), slightly larger and more pubescent 
flowers, acute sepals and the ovary slightly more sunk (0-6 mm.) 
in the torus. It agrees so closely, however, in other respects that 
it seems inadvisable to separate it, even as a variety. According 
to Mr. Farrell, Homalium subsuperum is found all over the Oudeni 
Forest Reserve, and attains a height of about 60 ft. and a 
diameter of 2 ft. The native name is Ndhlebenhlovu.

XVIII.__MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 
Coffee and Para Rubber in Uganda.—In the Bulletin for 
1921 (p. 346) a note was published on a “ Report on a visit to 
Guatemala and Costa Rica to investigate the methods of Cultiva- 
tion of Coffee,” by Mr. Le Poer Trench, Kenya Colony. Supple- 
mentary to this it may be of interest to refer to ““ A Report on 
Coffee Cultivation in Uganda with Comparative Notes on Costa 
Rica,” by Mr. C. H. Lankester (of Las Concavas Estate, Costa 
Rica),1 and in conjunction with these “ A Report on Para Rubber 
in Uganda,” by Mr. Herbert Ashplant,2 may be conveniently 
considered, as the cultivation of these two plants appears to 
have been carried on together, more or less successfully, in 
Uganda.
