Allied to D. aframensis, Hutchinson, but easily distinguished by its smaller 

 leaves, which are rounded or emarginate at the npex and obtuse mid untquul-sided at 

 the base, and the more slender ])etioles.

4a. Phyllanthus delpyanus, Hutchinson. A shrub ; branches 

 terete, covered with grey glabrous bark ; young flowering branchlets 

 fasciculate, with numerous coriaceous glabrous ovate-triangular scales 

 at the base of each cluster, spreading, up to G in. long, many -flowered. 

 Leaves ovate, shortly and obtusely pointed, truncate or rounded ut the 

 base, |-1^ in. long, J to nearly 1 in. broad, thinly and rigidly 

 chartaceous, with recurved margins, glabrous, much darker on the 

 upper surface (when dry), grey or glaucous-green below, with 4-5 pairs 

 of slender looped lateral nerves slightly raised below ; veins not visible ; 

 petiole 1 lin. long, glabrous ; stipules very small. Flowers dioecious. 

 Males numerous, in axillary fascicles : pedicel about 1 lin. long, glabrous. 

 Sepals 4-5, broadly ovate, obtuse, J lin. long, glabrous. Disk-<:lands 

 4-5, rounded, glabrous. Stamens 4-5 ; filaments more or less connate 

 nearly their whole length ; anthers rounded, dehiscing at the side. 

 Female flowers not seen. Fruits nearly sessile, hard, indehiscent (?), 

 depressed, about 7 lin. in diam., 3-G-lobed, finely wrinkled when dry, 

 glabrous. Seeds flat on one side, rounded on the other, quite smooth, 

 light brown, about 3 J lin. long.

A very distinct species, and most closely allied to F. EngJeri, Pax. iVom the 

 Mozambique district, differing however by its ovute shortly pointed leaves ami lesn 

 spiny scales at the base of the fascicles of the flowering branchlets. 



I have much pleasure in naming this species in compliment to Monsieur E. Delpy, 

 the artist of the Turis Museum, whose beautiful drawings of the analyses of nniny of 

 the Euphorbiacea in Pierre's Herbarium have been of grent assistance in their 

 determination.
