0-45 cm. diam. ; limbus 0*75 cm. long., lobi anguste obovato- 

 oblongi, truncati, 0-5-0-6 cm. long. Flamenta 0-2-0-25 cm. long. ; 

 antherse 0-15 cm., harum calcara modo 0-015 cm. long. Ovarium 

 anguste ovato-oblongum, apice puberulum, 0-2 cm. long. ; stylus 

 1*4 cm. long. 



A plant of familiar appearance which I have been unable to 

 name, after examination of all the Museum and Kew material. 

 The affinity is with D. Fischeri Lindau, from which it differs in 

 habit, calyx, and much smaller white flowers. The chief points 

 are the long, rigid, sparingly branched stems, the size and lobing 

 of the calyces, and the dimensions of the various parts of the 

 medium-sized white corollas. 



Chatacanthus Persoonii Nees in Linnsea xvi. 347.

A South African plant recently found by Dr. Bagshawe in the 



Uganda Protectorate, 



This is believed to be the first record for the Southern Tropics.
