There is a specimen in the herbarium of the l^ritish Museum, collected by 

 Whyte near Zombu, Nyasaland, which agrees so closely with Schumann's descriptiiu 

 of C. macrophylla that I suspect it is the same species. The fruits attached to it, 

 which are not perfectly mature, have been used for the completion of the description 

 of the genus, the fruit of which was not previously known. 



24. SCHIZOZYGIA, Baill. in Bull. Soc. Linn. Paris, i. 752. 



Calyx small ; sepals 5, almost free, herbaceous, ovate, not ciliate, 

 glandular inside the base. Corolla salver-shaped ; tube short, elongate- 

 ovoid ; lobes very asymmetric, overlapping to the right, inflexed in bud. 

 Stamens inserted at the middle of the corolla-tube ; anthers conniving 

 in a cone, sessile, lanceolate-sagittate, acute ; wings horny with acute 

 margins ; tails acute ; foot of the connective flat, glabrous, viscous. Ovary 

 apocarpous except at the base, surrounded by a fleshy disc adnate to f of 

 its height ; style fihform ; stigma capitate, 5-grooved, very viscous, witli 

 an undulate ring at the base and a minute 2-lobed apiculus ; ovules 2- 

 seriate, about 9 in each cell. Mericarps 2, follicular, short, asymme- 

 tric, the apical often obscure mucro becoming by unequal growth 

 nearly basal; transverse veins prominent, numerous, arched. Seeds 

 few, ovoid, embedded in a yellow pulp ; testa crustaceous, finely 

 granular, longitudinally striate ; endosperm slightly ruminate, fleshy ; 

 cotyledons thin, concavo-convex. — A dichotomously branched shrub. 

 Leaves opposite, subsessile, herbaceous ; axillary stipules ; axillary 

 glands few to many, short, filiform, often besides a long filiform gland 

 from the transverse rim between the petioles. Racemes or spikes short, 

 dense, persistently bracteate, few-flowered, springing from the branch- 

 forks ; flowers small.
