10 cm. long. Bracteolas 0-4 x 0-13 cm. Calycis lobi imbricati, 

 0'55 cm. long., 0*2 cm. lat. Corollae tubus intus passim piloso- 

 pubescens, 0*6 cm. long., basi 0-2 cm. faucibus 0-3 cm. lat, ; labium 

 posticum vix 0*5 cm. long., basi 0-4 cm. lat. ; labii antici lobi 

 laterales 0-35 x 0-2 cm., lobus intermedins 0*35 x 0*3 cm. long. ; 

 palatus intrusus. Filamenta inferne pilosa, aegre 05 cm. long. ; 

 antherarum loculi 0-1 cm. long. Ovarium 0-175 x 0*1 cm., stylus 

 0-7 cm. long. Capsula in toto 1-1 cm. long., pars seminifera 

 0*5 cm. long. 



A very distinct species, at once recognized amongst its allies by 

 the short oblong obtuse leaves, together with the relatively broad 

 bracteoles and calyx-lobes. It stands nearest to M. hereroense C. B. 

 CI. (Justicia hereroemh Engl.), a species not represented in this 

 country, which, inter alia, has lanceolate sparsely pilose leaves, linear 

 lanceolate bracteoles and calyx-lobes, and a considerably longer 

 corolla, pilose outside. 



M. namaense C. B. CI. in Fl. Cap. v. pt. i. 73. — Now first 

 admitted to the Tropical African Flora. 



Megalochlamys Marlothii Lindau in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. xxvi. 

 345, var. ? — If this be a correct determination, the specimens are 

 depauperate ones, their leaves, for instance, being only half or one- 

 third as large as those of the type. But the specimens are not 

 good ones, and I think it safer to name them as above. 



2. Note on a small Collection from Somaliland. 



Mr. G. W. Bury, whose collection is the subject of this note, 

 botanized at Berbera and the Wagga Mountain. Among the 

 Gamopetala is one species believed to be new, and there are a few 



rarities worthy of record.
