Upper Qainea. Liberia : in forest between Jenneh and Cabolia, 900 ft., 

 Dinklage, 2573 ! Ivory Coast : Dyola country, Chevalier, 21102, 21197, 21288, 

 21288 bis. (var. deltoidea, A. Chev.). 



Although I have not seen a specimen from Chevalier, I have little doubt but 

 that Dinldage's Liberian plant is conspecific.

 the woody branches with internodes 8-10 lin. long. Leaves oblong- 

 lanceolate, narrowed from the upper third towards the base in a 

 slightly curved line, apex narrowly and obtusely acuminate, base 

 obtuse, margin very shortly dentate towards the apex, 3J-4J in. 

 long, lJ-2 in. wude, apex 5 lin. long by 1-lJ lin. wide ; lateral 

 nerves about 5 on each side, curving upwards and uniting near the 

 margin ; petiole very minutely pilose, 1 lin. long. Stipules short, 

 narrowly triangular, caducous. Peduncle about J in. long ; receptacle 

 turbinate, 6-toothed, about 4 lin. broad, in ripe fruit 5 lin. long and 

 broad ; bracts linear-spathulate, 5 lin. long. Female flowers few,

Upper Guinea. Cameroons : forest between Edea and the River Kelle, 

 Biisgen, 429. 



I have not seen the specimen on which this species was founded and therefore 

 only tentatively include specimens collected by Talbot at Oban, S. Nigeria (626 ! 

 628 ! 2320 !), the leaves of which vary from 4|-7 in. long, including the acuminate 

 apex (5-9 lin. long), and 1^-2^ in. wide ; the lateral nerves are from 6-12 on 

 each side, and the margin is entire or shortly toothed in the broader upper 

 portion of the leaf. The peduncle is 5-6 lin. long and the 5-6-toothed receptacle 

 about 4 lin. broad, with 5-6 tapering bract-arms \ in. long. There is a solitary 

 central female flower.

 glabrous or with a few hairs on the midrib, reticulate and shining 

 above ; petioles puberulous or hirsute, 2-2J lin. long. Stipules 

 lanceolate, acuminate, 3-4 lin. long, persistent. Inflorescences 

 solitary in the upper leaf-axils ; stalk very short, 1-H lin. long, 

 pubescent ; receptacle greenish-white, cuneiform-triangular, convex,
