Conopharyngia Holstii Stapf in PI. Trop. Afr. iv. sect. i. 146. 

 Toro, in swampy ground near Isunga ; Bagshawe, 1079. 



A tree with white flowers. 



The upper of the two pairs of leaves on the specimen are those 

 of typical C. Holstii ; the lower pair are larger and broader, aud 

 approach in this character C. pachysiphon Stapf. With all the 

 material now to hand there seems good reason to unite these two 

 into one, of which C. Holstii is the eastern and C. pachysiphon the 

 western form. It is not without interest to note that the Uganda 

 specimens, intermediate as they are in locality, are also intermediate 

 between the extreme forms.

Mr. N. E. Brown, who kindly looked at this rather remarkable 

 plant for me, considers it to be nearest R. splendens Schiechter, 

 although the differences between the two are many and considerable. 

 The most noteworthy feature about R. Bagshawei is that the fila- 

 ments are attached to the coronal leaves forsome little distance, so 

 that they do not leave them till quite at the top of their quadrate 

 lower portion, instead of arising from the tube of the corolla or 

 from the base of the coronal leaf.
