NOTES ON TURREA 9 
- Hoffm., described since the publication of this monograph, Dr. 
Harms consider. s that Quivisia and certain intermediate plants, as, 
for instance, the genus Calodryun, between Quivisia and Paves are 
better treated as sections of Turrea than as ty genera. In 
Engler’s avatars iii. 4, p. 284, Dr. Harms diagnoses the 
following sections :—i. Fuquivisia ; 3 ii. Calodrywm ; Hk Calodryopsis : 
iv. Euturrea; y. Rutea. The section Futurrea in M. De Candolle’s 
monograph includes Dr. Harms’s two sections iv. and v., and is, 
think, to be preferred. Dr. Harms’s section Rutaa includes plants 
such as T. Vogeliit, T. Wakefieldii, T. nilotica, having no particular 
structural affinity one with the other, and the nearest allies of some 
of them, such as 7. usambarensis Girke, are such plants as T. Holstii 
Girke in Dr. Harms’s group Euturrea. 
The African plants (excluding the Mascarene), with trifling ex- 
ceptions, fall into the section Eutu urrea C. DC we ie deep tee 
being T. heterophylla Harms and 7’. Cabre De Wild. & This 
latter species, the authors state, belongs ge sect. Clodeye uae. In 
the annexed enumeration I have placed it in this section, a og 
the structure of the flower it differs in certain points from T. a 
mala Horm, and is nearer the Euturreex. 
mination of the type of 7’. abyssinica Hochst. B longi- 
satinatinen Oliver, from Ankober, collected by Roth, shows it 
be synonymous with 7. Holstii, aliouee geographically widely 
separated. I would also refer to Holstit plants collected in 
Somaliland by Miss Edith Cole and Nite Lort Phillips. Another 
Somaliland species, 7°. l lueits ides Baker, is synonymous with 7’. parvi- 
folia Deflers, from Arabia; both are published in the same year, but 
the latter name must oe adopt ted to avoid confusion with 7’. lyctoides 
Baillon, from Madagascar. Another point of interest is the position 
lon "e doubt act The

The following is an efi se of the African species of Turrea 
rom described. I have added the descriptions of two plants I 
am unable to identify with any of these; one gathered by Mr. 
Risinet on the Schimba Mountains, the other by Sir John Kirk 
in South Somaliland.
