parallel with the margin; they are joined by thin, less prominent 
cross unions. ung fruits about 7 mm. long, pedicels 3-5 mm.,

Only specimens with immature fruit were obtained. 
Hab. Entebbe, March 1st, 1905; no. 669. Native name, 
“ mbaliwali.” 
A well-marked plant, distinguished from the other African 
species by its narrow entire-margined leaves, the venation of which 
recalls the Angolan C. Soyauzii Engler, which, however, has deeply 
gr 
divided styles, and the more southern C. Stuhlmannii Engler 
(Uluguru), in which the styles are also divided, is densely ferru- 
ginously hairy. 
n the same collection Dr. Bagshawe sends material including 
both male and female specimens of Chlorophora excelsa Benth. & 
Hook. f., evidently widely distributed in east as well as west 
tropical Africa. It is described as a tall tree, native name 
“‘mvuli,” affording probably the best timber in Uganda. The 
specimens (no. 734) come from Entebbe, Victoria Nyanza.

supersede, on the ground of priority, names that have been generally 
accepted. Certain points connected with the plants are elucidated

The dates on the title-pages of the two volumes are respectively

been published at an earlier date, as the first decade has at the end
