The description of B. suhmolUs, Lindau, "leaves subcordate, corolla-tube 1 in., 

 lobes o in.," appears taken from Volkens, 314 ; and cannot apply to Hoist, 8736 

 (whence the above description of B. Stuhlmamii is drawn), though this Usambara 

 plant is the one repeatedly named by Lindau as suhmollis. These species of Barleria 

 are very close together, and the number of species hereafter admitted may be greater 

 than that enumerated here. 



74. B. micrantha, C. B. Clarke. Young parts tawny villous. 

 Leaves up to 2J by 1 in., ovate-elliptic, subacute at either end, when 

 mature with few scattered small hairs and conspicuous cystoliths ; 

 petiole 0-^ in. long. Inflorescence in 3-1 -flowered dense racemes, 

 scattered in remote axils. Posticous sepal h by \ in., rhomboid, 

 definitely toothed ; anticous calyx-segment similar, rather smaller, tip 

 with 2 acute triangular lobes. • Corolla in total length hardly 'I in., 

 trumpet-shaped, purple-blue when dried. Stamens and pistil of the 

 genus.

In the larger, sparsely hairy leaves, this species resembles B. Grantii and 

 B. rtiellioides ; but tbe corolla is far too small to arrange it under either of 

 these.

Mucb smaller than any other species. 



76. B. rotundisepala, Rendle in Journ. Bot. 1897, 376. Small, 

 densely strigose shrub. Leaves up to \\ by J in., obtuse, grey-strigose 

 on both faces, narrowed at the base ; petiole ^ in. long. Flowers solitary, 

 shortly pedicelled above 2 reduced leaves. Posticous sepal orbicular, 

 nearly h in. long, densely strigose without ; anticous calyx-segment 

 similar but rather smaller ; two inner sepals J in. long, lanceolate. 

 Corolla I in. long, or rather more. Style-base and ovary-top shortly 

 hairy.

Uendle thinks this species may belong to the subgenus Somalia. In the absence 

 of fruit, this can hardly be settled ; I guess its affinity to be with B. usambarica.
