Nile Xsand. Uganda: Ntebbi (Entebbe), 4300 ft., Stuhlmann, 1474; and 

 without precise locality, Stuhlmann, 1262. 



K. Schumann compares this pLmt with A. lucida, from which he says it differs 

 in tlie narrow corolla-lobes and much longer tube. He quotes the locality where 

 Stuhlmann collected No. 1474 as Nsebbi, and the date as January, This stands 

 evidently for Ntebbi (Entebbe) where Stuhlmann was in January 1891, and I suspect, 

 in spite of certain discrepancies, that it is the same plant which Whyte collected 

 near Entebbe and which I referred to A. lucida above.
