60 SOUTH NIGERIAN PLANTS 



1"25 mm., style 1 mm. long; basal part of stigma 1 mm. long, and 

 lobes the same length. Berry almost 1 clem, in diameter. 



A remarkable plant, recognised at once by the stipule-like trans- 

 formed axillarj^ glands. The flowers having become dry in a manner 

 rendering dissection very difficult, recourse has been had to INIrs. 

 Talbot's excellent coloured drawing for details of the corolla. (S. Moore.)

Leaves 6-8 "5 cm. x 2 '5-3 cm. ; petiole 2-4 mm. long. Secondary 

 veins many, not usually well-marked throughout the leaf. Cymes 

 approximately spherical, about 2-5 cm. in diameter. Flowers about 

 6 mm. long. Calyx barely 3 mm. long. Corolla-tube 3" 5 mm. ; lobes 

 3 mm. long. 



A very distinct species, with the general habit of a Clitandra, at 

 once recognisable by the very small flowers, the chaffy bracts and 

 sepals, and the close-veined leaves.

Leaves 10-16 cm. long (including acumen about I'S cm. long) and 

 5-6 cm. broad; petiole -barely 1 cm. long. Sepals 1 mm. long. 

 Corolla-tube 1-1 "4 cm., the cream-coloured lobes 6-9 mm.
