ALABASTRA DIVERSA. 7 



Ex affinitate G, idii/iriosce, Br. (Adenosma), abs qua calyce 

 dispari, floribus miilto rainoribus, capsula breviore puberula 

 aliisque notis disceclit. 



Cardanthera africana, T. And. (Adenosma.) 



Var. Schweinfurthii. A typo divergens pr^esertim fasciculis 

 plurifloris et bracteis latioribus. 



Hab. — In ditione Bongoensi repperit Schweinfurth (Nos. 2708, 

 2764, 2799). 



EUELLIA SCLEROCHITON, Sp. 710V. 



Caule tenui tetragono glabrato, foliis longipetiolatis ovatis 

 obtusis undulatis ntrinque puberulis conspicue reticulato-nervosis 

 membranaceis pagiua inferiore pallidioribus, floribus niediocribus 

 in axillis raniuloruni lateraliuni brevium superiorum solitariis vel 

 ad apicem ramoruin positis, bracteis linearibus calyce brevioribus, 

 calycis sparsiin ciliatas laciniis aequalibus linearibus longissime 

 acuminatis 1-nerviis, corolla tubo recto oninino uniformi limbi 

 valde obliqui lobis oblongis sequalibus 2 posticis inter se majus 

 liberis, filamentis basi dilatatis liberis, styli lobo altero fere 

 omnino obsoleto altero attenuato lamellato recurvo, ovulis quoque 

 in loculo 6. 



Hab. — In terris Nianmiamensiuni legit Schweinfurth (No. 3257). 



Caulis in exemplario parvo rneos ante oculos ad 0-2 cm., 

 crassus siccus brunneo-ater. Foliorum pagina 5'0-7'0 cm. long., 

 S'O-^-O cm. lat. ? petiolo puberulo 2*0- fere 4-0 cm. long., suffulta. 

 Calycis lacini^e vix 1*0 cm. long. Corolla vix 1*5 cm. long., 

 limbus ejus fere 1*0 cm. diam. Capsula . 



A very remarkable species, aberrant from its congeners by 

 reason of the very oblique limb of its corolla, a character which 

 must place in one well-defined section all the future discoveries 

 exhibiting it. 



A plant collected by Mann in the Cameroons (No. 1259 in part 

 in Herb. Kew), with the same curiously oblique corolla, may 

 perhaps be a varietal form of this species. 



BUELLIA AMABILIS, Sp. ?lOV. 



Caule tenui quadrangulari geniculato villosulo-pubescente mox 

 pubescente, foliis longe graciliterque petiolatis membranaceis late

 pubescentibus subtus pallidioribus et secus nervos prominenter 

 villosulis, floribus magnis in axillis superioribus solitariis (an 

 semper ?) pedunculatis, bracteis quam calyx multo brevioribus 

 linearibus obtusis villosulis, calycis 5-partiti laciniis subasqualibus 

 erectis elongatis lineari-lanceolatis obtusis piloso -villosulis margine 

 debiliter ciliatis, corollas tubo longissimo tenuissimo fere uniformi

 brevem campanulatam ampliato limbi lobis subaequalibus late 

 ovatis, staminibus leviter exsertis, disco inconspicuo, ovario 

 oblongo breviter stipitato pubescente, stylo crassiusculo, ovulis 

 quove in loculo 6, capsula .
