TropicaL Arrica. Uganda: Entebbe, Rutter. 
Specimens of L. entebbensis were received for identification from 
r. W. R. Rutter, Chief Forestry Officer, Uganda, according to 
whom the species is attacking most of the trees in the township 
of Entebbe. 
L. entebbensis is closely allied to L. Schweinfurthii. The nature 
of the indumentum affords an important distinction. In L. enteb- 
bensis it is composed of longish rusty much-branched hairs which 
soon fall off, whereas in L. Schweinfurthi the hairs are short, pale, 
little-branched and relatively persistent.

Sourn Arrica. Natal: in a forest at Ensikeni, at 1200 m. 
alt., near the border between Natal and Griqualand East, growing 
epiphytically, with their bulbs embedded in the moss on the trunks 
and branches of 
at an elevation of 20 m. or more above the ground, Wood 12,041. 
This appears to be the first Amaryllidaceous plant recorded as 
being epiphytic. In a letter sent to Kew, Mr. Wood states that 
the plant was discovered by his adopted son, Mr, Walter Haygarth,
