dulo-griseus ellipsoideus, Juglandis regise magniludine, pericarpio incras- 

 salo duro. Placentae 4-6. Spinœ (ubi adsunl) crassae brèves conicae patulai. 

 (Leprieur, Prollet, Ozanne n. 7). 



De Candolle's description ol' Ihe species is brief. and I hâve not seeii 

 any aiilhentic spécimens. Ozanne's plant, wliich differs in certain charac- 

 lers from the spécimens of Gardénia Thunbergia in Herb. Kew. amoiig 

 which il is placed, bas certainly more points in common with De Candolle's 

 description Ihan iL has either with the description or the spécimens of 

 Gardénia Thunbergia. As Ozanne's spécimen obviously belongs lo the 

 former ralher than lo Ihe laller, I hâve drawn up a new and longer des- 

 cription from this Gambian example incorporating with il Ihe description 

 in the Prodromus. The fruit is removed, but Ihere is an outline pencil- 

 drawing of il alongside the spécimen. The plant evidently belongs to Ihe 

 secl. Rothmannia Benth. et Hook. f. and not lo Ihe sect. Eu-gardenia. as 

 docs Gard. Thunbergia ilself. The type-specimens oîGard. triacanlha are 

 in herb. Cand.. al Geneva.
