The re-identification of Lichtensteinia oleaefolia, Wendl., 

 entails cliange in tlie nomenclature of tlie African sections. Lich- 

 tensteinia, WendL, is a synonym of Tapinanthus, Blume, whicL 

 corresponds to the series Constrictiflori, Engl. The sectional name 

 Moquinia is new adopted for the group which has passed in recent 

 years under the erroneous generic and serial names Lichtejisteinia 



and Oleaefolii. 



The synonymy of the two sections is as follows :

 The section comprises nearly 40 species including L. oleaefolius, 

 Cham. & Schlecht., the type of sect. Lichtensteinia. It seems 

 inadvisable to employ the prior name Lichtensteinia for the above 

 section, as this might lead to confusion.

Engler and Krause have recently described the t^o new series 

 Longitulmlosi and Botryoloranthus, both included in the sub- 



Dendroi 



seems 



be a valid group allied to Tetrameri; whereas the series Longituhu- 

 lost is almost certainly identical with the genus Sepiulina, Van 

 Tiegh., which Engler reduced to the Cinerascentes. Septulina 

 difters, however, from the latter in having tetramerous flowers with 

 erect corolla-lobes and filaments, and is accordingly retained by 

 the writer as a section.
