A NEW LIMONIA FROM UGANDA 61 



open level spots on the otherwise steep banks, and there, in a sort 

 of wild garden, I met with clumps of Conium maculatum between 

 nine and ten feet high, with relatively thick stems* In the same 

 place were foxgloves and Scrophularia aquatica upwards of seven 

 feet high, and other plants of unusual vigour, including the colonized 

 (Enothera granditlora (syn. O. Lamarhiana). 



A NEW LIXfOyiA FROM UGANDA. 



. By Edmund G. Baker, F.L.S. 



Limonia (Citropsis) ugandensis, sp. nov. Frutex spinescens, 



spinis rectis patentibus quam rhachios parte posteriori brevioribus ; 

 foliis saepissime quinque-foliolatis imparipinnatis bijugis cum im- 

 parl sessili ambitu subsimilibus iis L. Preussii Engler sed minoribus 

 rhachi latissime alata ad nodos articulata et baud alata, foliolis 

 elliptico-oblongis vel elliptico-obovatis coriaceis margine undulatis 

 vel obsolete crenato-serratis nervis lateralibus supra inconspicuis 

 subtus subprominentibus hand procul a margine conjunctis apice 

 acutis utrinque attenuatis ; floribus axillaribus inflorescentia brevi 

 ssepe circ. 6-flori ; calycis lobis 4 brevibus margine anteriori minu- 

 tissime serrulato paullo inasquilongis ; petalis 4 albis punctatis 

 valde imbricatis concavis rotnndatis crassiusculis ; staminibus 8 in 

 seriebus 2 instructis petalis brevioribus ; filamentis crassis antheris 

 fere sequilongis; ovario 4-loculari, stigmate crasso, stylo subnullo, 

 ovulis in quoque loculo solitariis. 



Ab L. Schweinfurthii Engler (mihi solummodo ex descriptione 

 cognita) hac differt foliis quinquefoliolatis nee trifoliolatis ab L. 

 Preussii Engler foliis minoribus et stylo subnullo ab L. gabxoiensi 

 Engler petalis latioribus et foliolis haud apice longe attenuatis.

Spines 1-5-2-0 cm. long. Leaflets 7-0-11-0 cm. long, 3-5- 

 4-7 cm. broad. Lowest internode of the rachis 4-5-60 cm. long, 

 upper internode 3-0-3-5 cm. long. Pedicels rather thick, 2-0- 

 3-0 mm. long. Calyx lobes 1-0-2-0 mm. long. Petals 6-0-80 mm. 

 long. Filaments of longer stamens ± 2-0 mm. long. Anthers 

 2-0-2-5 mm. long. 



It differs from both the species figured in Dr. De Wildeman's 

 Flore du bas et die moyen Congo by the leaflets not being so attenuate 

 at the apex. 



This is the " Citropsis sp. nov. ? " of Mr. Dawe's Uganda list 

 (p. 39) from South Buddu. It has lime-like fruits 4; 2 cm, in 

 diameter.
