21. Alafia orientalis, K. Schum. Add: De Wild. Notes 

 Apocyn. Latic. Congo, 15. De Wildeman describes the corolla-tube as 

 3-4|^ lin. long and the lobes as 3-4 lin. long. 



1. Holalafia multiflora, -S'%;/. De Wildeman (Notes Apocyn. 

 Latic. Congo, 16) retains Alafia major, Stapf, in Alafia, and says that 

 its carpels are free and its corolla has a tube 2 lin. and lobes 4-5 lin. 

 long. There must be some confusion. My drawings made in 1H90 

 from Dewevre, 673, show the ovary perfectly syncarpous, and the 

 drawing made from the whole plant has the corolla-tube 4-5 lin. long. 



2. Baissea erythrosticta, K. Schum. Add: K. Schum. in 

 Engl. Jahrb. xxxiii. 319. 



4. Baissea Wulfshorstii, Schinz. Add: K. Schum. in Baum, 

 Kunene-Samb. Exped. 338. 



5. Baissea multiflora, A. DC. Add : Cheval. in Bull. Mus. 

 Hist. Nat. Par. vi. (190U), 423. 



8. Baissea angolensis, Stapf. De Wildeman (Notes Apoc. 

 Laticif. Congo, 12 congolensis, by error) suggests that his Guerkea con- 

 golana, referred to by me under Baissea angolensis is more probably 

 identical with Baissea laxiflora. From the additional characters, he 

 mentions I.e., it appears that he may be right. 



10. Baissea axillaris, Hua. Follicles subcylindric, obtuse, 

 connate at the very base, spreading at right angles to each other, slightly 

 curved outwards, 8-9 in. long, 2i-3 lin. in diam., covered with brown 

 woolly pubescence ; placenta at length detached. Seeds linear, obtuse 

 7J-9 lin. long, truncate at the apex with a reddish plume up to \\ in. 

 long, flat or channelled on the ventral side, brown, smooth. Embryo 

 straight, radicle cylindric, cotyledons very narrow, acute ; albumen 

 fleshy, copious.— Hua in Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. Par. viii. (19U2), 479. 

 (See Guerkea schumanniana, De Wild. & Durand, below.) 



14. Baissea odorata, K. Schum. 

 TTpper Guinea. (Add) — Liberia : Greenville, Sim, 32 ! 



18. Baissea tenuiloba, Stapf Ad ] : De Wild. Notes Apoc. 

 Laticif. Congo, 13. 



23. Guerkea schumanniana, De Wild, d- Durand. Baissea 

 axillaris, Hica. Hua, in Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. Par. viii. (1902) 479. 

 has shown that these two plants are identical. The reference's and 

 localities under G. schumanniana on p. 217 may therefore Ik* trans- 

 ferred to B. axillaris. 



1. Oncinotis glandulosa, Stapf The intracalycular glands do 

 not seem to be always distinct or constant. Follicles subcylindric from
