Okavango Valley, 3,000 ft.. Lugard, 277. German South-West 
Africa: Amboland ; Omupanda, Wulfhorst, 33; Oshando, Schinz, 
: When Turezaninow established the genus Lophiocarpus he placed 
it in the order Chenopodiaceae, and it has been retained as a distinct 
genus Microtea having been overlooked. Sir J oseph Hooker, 
however, when describing this species and J. Burchellii, Hook. 
f., in the Icones Plantarum, as cited above, expresses a doubt as to 
whether Lophiocarpus should not be transferred to Phytolaccaceae, 
> 
Tn structure and habit Lophiocarpus quite agrees with Microtea, 
whilst in general appearance the two species figured in the Jcones 
Plantarum are similar to Mierotea tenuifolia, but are more rigid.
