Erantlwmim nigritianum T. And. in Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. vii.5L 



Wimi Forest, Toro ; Bagshawe, 1039. 



A West Coast species (Sierra Leone to Angola) which has also 

 been found in the south of the Congo Free State. 



Monothecium abbreviation S. Moore in Journ. Bot. 1900, 466. 



Waki River, Unyoro ; Bagshawe, 833. 



The spikes are slender and upwards of 5 cm. long, instead of 

 being broad and short as are those of the type specimen, otherwise 

 there seems little difference. Dr. Bagshawe notes the flowers as 



being pink. 



The specimen is midway between M. glandulosum Hoclist. aua 

 .1/. abbreviatum, which latter should probably now be suppressed.^ 



The type hails from Kavirondo in British East Africa, consider- 

 ably to the eastward of the new locality. 



Justicia betonicoides C. B. CI. in Fl. Trop. Afr. v. 184. 



Fort Portal, Toro ; Bagshawe, 1017. 



Here again we see a considerable extension of range, the distri- 

 bution of the species hitherto having been British East Africa and 

 Nyassaland. 



J. exigua S. Moore in Journ. Bot. 1900, 204. 



Toro ; Bagshawe, 1108. 



This species had not previously been found north of Rhodesia. 



Adhatoda Engleriana C. B. CI. in Fl. Trop. Afr. v. 222. 

 River Waki, Unyoro and Wimi Forest ; also forest near mouth 

 of Mpanga, Toro; Bagshawe, 867, 1033, 1171. 



A considerable westward extension to the range of this eastern 

 species. 



Diclivtera laxata C. B. CI. in Fl. Trop. Afr. v. 258. 



Near Masinde, Unyoro ; Bagshawe, 873. 



Another case similar to the preceding, the plant having been 

 found previously only in Nyassaland and the Kavirondo district of 

 British East Africa.
