The male plant and the fruits of the female plant are at present 



unknown. 



The species in general appearance resembles E. linearis Zeyh 

 but it is readily distinguished from it by the deeper lobiug of the 

 corolla.— W. P. H.

Specimens belonging to two distinct species have been included 

 under this name. The two are easily distinguishable^ bj^"^

J. abyssinicum R. Br. in Salt, Abyssinia App. lxiii. is a nojnen 

 nudum. The type specimen, which is in the National Herbarium, 

 seems to Mr. Britten and myself not different from J. maurinamon 

 Bojer, already known from various parts of the Nile land botanical 

 province of Africa. Since no description of the true J. abyssinicum 

 was issued previously to the Prodromus citation given above, that 

 name must stand upon the authority of A. P. de Candolle.
