956 CXV. EUPHORBIACE.E. 



penniveined, inconspicuously reticulate, 1 to 4 in, long by ^ to 2i 

 in. broad, flat, entire ; petioles rather slender, ^- to ^ in. long ; 

 stipules broad, short, truncate-rounded, caducous ; infructescence 

 1 to 1^ in. long, one or few-fruited, arising from the axils of the 

 upper leaves ; pedicels short or about i in. long, slightly puberu- 

 lous ; fruit drupaceous, ovoid-conical, glabrous, polished, yellowish 

 drab, f in. long, ^ in. thick, tipped with the remains of 3 .styles, 

 at the base seated on the small patelliform obtusely pentagonal 

 residue of the calyx, trilocular ^ the cells monospermous ; putamen 

 almost bony ; seeds — in. long, i in. broad, ^ in. thick. 



PuxGO AxDONCio. — In Avoods among the gigantic rocks of the 

 prsesidium, near Luxillo, a tree, 12 to 15 ft. high, with the trunk 6 in. 

 in diameter, unripe fr. middle of Dec. 185G ; also near Pedras de 

 Guinga, a tree 30 to 40 ft. high, with the trunk 18 in. in diameter, 

 May 1857. Native name " Muriambambe." Xo. 1235. 



GOLTJNGO Alto. — In hiUy rocky places at the base of Serra de 

 Alto Queta, between Camilungo and Quitara ; without fl. or fr. May 

 1855. Apparently the same species. No. 1244. 



In the absence of the male plant the genus is uncertain ; it is not 

 the " Muriambamba " or " Murianbambe " of the districts of Golungo 

 Alto and Cazengo, which is Coffea arahica L. ; the meaning of the name 

 indicates that the fruit is a favourite food of antelopes. 



The following No. is perhaps a new species of this genus : — 

 A small tree, 10 to 12 ft. high; trunk straight; head lax; 

 branches subterete, subglabrate; branchlets alternate, erect- 

 patent, tawny-tomentose, leafy ; leaves alternate, simple, ovate- 

 oblong, narrowed to an obtuse or scarcely acute apex, rounded 

 and lasvially unequal at the base, thinly coriaceous, pilose with 

 long scattered haii-s on both faces, hirsute on the slender midrib, 

 yellowish green (in the dried state) above, rather browner beneath, 

 entire, 1 to 2^ in, long by ^ to 1^ in. broad, delicately penniveined, 

 very delicately reticulate ; petiole patent, tomentose, |- to i in. 

 long ; stipules apparently minute and very caducous ; fruit 

 apparently solitary, axillary; peduncle tomentose, about i in. 

 long ; unripe fruit subglobose, glabrous, shining, pallid or some- 

 what chestnut-coloured, about § in. in diameter, 3-celled, 

 tricoccous (?), superior, marked at the apex with the scars or 

 marks of 3 styles, supported at the base on a subpersistent 

 5(?)-partite calyx; calyx-segments lanceolate, about ^ in. long, 

 hairy on the back. Seeds imperfect in our specimen. 



HuiLLA. — In the forests of Morro de Lopollo, at an elevation 

 about 5500 feet ; without fl. with unripe fr. Jan. 18G0. No. 1252.
