 species), glabra, margine hip illic minutissime ciliolata. Petala 5, sepala subaequantia, 

 late ovata, rotundata vel subapiculata, in unguem latiusculum crassiusculum contracta, 

 glabra, margine dorsoque leviter papulosa, intus supra unguem squama lata vix emar- 

 ginata cucuUato-deflexa margine subtusque densissime villoso-barbata aucta. Discus

 antherae ovato-oblongae, stamina dimidio superantia, apice angustatae obtusae vel 

 subtruncatae, dorso supra basin sagittato-excisam affixae, subintrorsae, locellis parvis, 

 connectivo latiusculo, dorso latiore pilis setaceis adsperso; poUinis granula trigono- 

 placentiformia, triporosa. Germinis rudimentum 3-gono-conicum, 3-loculare, apice in 

 stylum brevem constrictum, circa stricturam pilis setaceis adspersum; Stylus basi 

 crystallorum concretionibus foetum, germen subaequans, supra medium in crura 3 

 dorsalia erecta ellipsoidea intus stigmatosa fissus; gemmulae in loculis solitariae, infra 

 medium axem affixae, apotropae, erectae — (rudimentariae). Fructus ignotus. 



Arbor?; ramuli juveniles sulcati, flavide puberuli, dein subteretes, glabrati, cortice 

 rimoso e cinereo ochraceo obtecti. Folia pari-pinnata, 4-juga, petiolata, petiolo basi 

 incrassato rhachique striatis, parce puberulis glabrescentibus ; foliola subopposita, 

 lanceolata vel oblongo-lanceolata, subacuminata, acumine obtuso, basi sensim in 

 petiolum brevem angustata, integerrima, margine subrevoluta, coriacea, nervo mediano 

 supra impresso subtus prominente, nervis lateralibus patulis subtus retique venarum 

 prominulis, utrinque glaberrima nee nisi glandulis microscopicis breviter clavatis basi 

 J:: immersis adspersa, epidermide non mucigera, subtus tantum stomata vestibulo 

 perangusto insignia gerentia, diachymate toto substantia tannino affini foeto crystallis 

 solitariis laxe persito,cellulis secretoriis nullis, sicca supra livida, subtus pallide rufescenti- 

 subfusca. Thyrsi perbreves infra folia in ramorum partibus 2 — 3-ennibus ad cicatrices 

 foliorum delapsorum fasciculati vel a basi ramosi, minutim puberuli, rhachi ramisque in 

 dichasia desinentibus ; bracteae bracteolaeque minutae deltoideae obtusiusculae, mar- 

 gine glandulis pilisque minutis obsitae; pedicelli filiformes, flores ipsos subaequantes, 

 basi articulati. Alabastra subglobosa, magnitudine cannabis grana aequantia. Flores 

 albi (aquam Talisiarum et Harpulliarum more mox colore sordide aeruginosotingentes). 



Species 1, Africae tropicae orientalis incola. 



Genus aLDeinbollia, cui species unica ab androeceum polymerum a Taubert adscripta fuit,recedit 

 disci configuratione et germine coccorum nullum vestigium exhibente; an sit Lepisantheis inserendum, 

 an Cupanieis, an alicui alii tribui dubie restat ob fructum deficientem ; attamen, ni fallor, floris 

 fabrica genus Otophora appropinquat, in quo foliola quoque saepissime similia evadunt quoad glandulas 

 dt immersas, epidermidem non mucigeram, mesophyllum totum substantia tannino affini foetum, 

 crystallisque (plerumque) solitariis etsi paucis persitum, nee non quoad stomata vestibulo angustissimo 

 insignia.
