﻿Although without leaves, I feel no hesitation in describing this 

 as a new species, there being no reasonable doubt as to its position 

 in the genus, to which Dr. Lindau has recently published an 

 elaborate clavis.* The affinity is certainly with the last-described 

 species, and with T. Erythrea Schfth., the chief differences between 

 the three being thus stated 



Corolla-tube scarcely exceeding 3 cm. in length, its 

 lobes 1-5 cm. broad, the throat 1 cm. in diam. 

 Lobes of stigma subequal, 2 mm. wide. Leaves 

 sagittate-cordate, mucronate . . . . T. GregoHL 

 Corolla-tube 4-5 cm. long, the lobes 2 cm. broad, 

 and throat 1 cm. in diam. Lobes of stigma un- 

 equal, one 1 mm., the other 2 mm. wide. 

 Leaves hastate, acuminate . . . . T. Erythrea. 

 Corolla-tube 4 cm. long, the lobes 2-2-5 cm. broad, 

 the throat at least 1*7 cm. in diam. Lobes of 

 stigma very large, 5-6 mm. wide. Leaves ovate T. Gibsoni. 

 Mr. Gibson has kindly sent this note apropos of his new 

 Thunbergia .— " The plant was collected on the 1st April, 1892, in 

 a deep swampy hollow towards the southern portion of the district 

 of Lykamasia. The latitude is 0° 0', and the approximate longitude 

 by dead reckoning 36° 70'. The gneiss hill of Donyo Sagorne, a 

 conspicuously wooded height, Hea about ten miles off in a S.S. W. 

 direction, while Lake Nakuru is about sixty miles distant in a S.W. 

 direction. The approximate elevation is 8000 ft. (aneroid). The 

 locality marks a break in the great line of escarpment which, under 

 the name of Ulau, stretches at a height of 10,000 ft. from south of 

 Lake Navaisha to north of Lake Baringo. The spot was sheltered 

 by gneiss hills, and, though towards the end of the dry season, the 

 ground was damp. The plant was not growing in water. Owing 

 to the sheltered position, the heat during the day waj3 intense, but 

 the nights were cool. Juniperus procera was growing luxuriantly 

 on the surrounding hills. The plant was not noticed in any other 

 localities, either to the south, near Lake Navaisha, and on the 

 same line of elevation, or further inland. The flower is con- 

 spicuous ; the plant grows in isolated clumps. The leaves are 

 small and ovate. The petals are of a brilliant deep orange-yellow, 

 and of a waxy consistency."

On account of the name Dyschoriste enjoying a few months' 

 priority over CaJophanes, the latter must be dropped.
