Premna angolensis Giirke in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. xviii. 165. 

 Mpanga Forest, Toro ; Bagshawe, 1096. 

 Only a Lower Guinea plant hitherto. 



Clerodendron melanophyllum (Premna melanophylla S. Moore in 



Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. xxxvii. 196, and in Journ. Bot. 1906, 89). 

 This plant, with its relatively long and slender tube and exserted 

 stamens, is certainly not a Premna, although it agrees with that 

 genus in habit rather than with Clerodendron. The same remark, 

 except as to the habit, refers also to P. macrosiphon Bak., with 

 which C. melanophyllum is no donbt allied. 



C. rotundi folium Oliw. in Trans. Linn. Soc. Bot.xxix. 132, var. 



East Toro; Bagshawe, 1110. 



Differs from the type in the short pubescence, nearly entire 

 leaves slightly cordate at the base, and corolla of somewhat longer 

 tube with a gradual (not abrupt) swelling at the throat. In some 

 respects it approaches C. Guerkei Bak., which will probably have to 

 be merged in rotund (folium when more material comes to hand. 

 Dr. Bagshawe notes the plant as common on ant-hills. The 

 flowers are white.
