“Aberrant from the e genus in some respects—viz. the broad calyx- 
lobes, the entire upper lip of the baie and the unbranched stami- 
nodes, in this latter character resembling Bonnaya. The modern 
tendency being, however, to onl Tysonthes and Bonnaya, and the 
present plant being intermediate between the two o, I have, on Mr. 
Hiern’s kindly given advice, decided eo ‘laa it in luaehe, A 
very distinct and pretty little plant. 
Dr. Rendle gives me the following note :— 
Ipoma@a STENOSIPHON Hallier fil. With this species, from pba 
Kast Africa, of exists in this conntry, 
I have identified a plant collected on the Matopo Hills at 5000 ft. 
(‘‘ top of granite hill in crevasse,” 58). Shortly after its descrip- 
tion under Ipomea, Dr. Hallier, as a ‘towel of the examination of a ~ 
larger and more ch series of specimens, transferred ea Hamb. 
mae 5 aisag to hick, in "fact, one of the specimens had ori 
been referred by Dr. Hallier. But the long narrow — 
resembling that of Ipomea Bona-nox, does not agree with the cha-
