3 mm. long. Corona basi ad 1 mm. columnae stamineae adnata ; 

 coronae ext. phylla 1 mm. long., horum segmenta -8 mm. long. ; 

 coronas int. phylla fere 3 mm. long. Columna staminea 2-5 mm. 

 long. Antherae oblongae, "5 mm. long. Pollinia late ovoidea, 



4 mm. long. ; glandula -2 mm. long. 



This has much the appearance of the South African B. decipiens 

 N. E. Br., but can be told at once from it by the markedly shorter 

 and broader corolla-lobes. 



Brachystelma elegantulum, sp. nov. Glabrum, caule erecto 

 rarissime ramoso gracili tereti subdistanter folioso, foliis elongatis 

 sessilibus anguste linearibus acutis saltem in sicco longitrorsum 

 complicatis, umbellis terminalibus vel axillaribus usque ad 10-floris 

 bracteis parvis linearibus stipatis, pedicellis filiformibus bracteis 

 multo longioribus, calycis segmentis linearibus acutis recurvis, 

 corollas campanulatae lobis tubum multo excedentibus basi late 

 triangularibus sursum in caudam longam filiformem anthesi ceteris 

 cito dissociatam desinentibus, corona exteriore cupuliformi ore 

 undulata columnam stamineam breviter superante coronae interioris 

 phyllis abbreviatis subclavatis basi dorso coronae ext. adnatis, 

 antheris stigmati piano incumbentibus.

Caulis circa 6 dm. alt., inferne 1*5-2 mm. diam., superne 

 •5-1 mm. ut folia in sicco viridia ; internodia pleraque 6-8 cm. 

 long. Folia summum 12 cm. long., saepius vero 8-10 cm., expla- 

 nata 2 mm. lat. vel minus. Bracte^ 1*5 mm. long. ; pedicelli 

 10 mm. Flores theobromini. Calycis segmenta 3-4 mm. long. 

 Corollas tubus 2 mm. long., dimidio inf. angusta, sursum subito 

 dilatatus ; loborum pars basalis 3 mm. long., basi 2*5 mm. lat., 

 pars attenuata 10 mm. long., *3 mm. lat. Corona exterior *6 mm. 

 alt.; coronas interiores loborum pars libera "2 mm. long. Columna 

 staminea 1 mm. long. Pollinia pyriformia, -3 mm. long. 



This is very distinct among African species ; in habit the 

 Indian B. glabnnn Hook. fil. bears some resemblance to it, but 

 here the likeness ends. 



Tenaris Browniana, sp. nov. Glabra caule erecto gracili 

 rari-ramoso perpaucifolioso, foliis sessilibus elongatis anguste 

 linearibus acutis marginibus involutis, floribus in fasciculis latera- 

 libus vel terminalibus sessilibus paucifloris dispositis, pedicellis 

 longis tenuissimis cernuis, calycis segmentis lanceolatis acutis 

 corollas tubo asquilongis, corollas paullo ultra medium divisas lobis 

 late oblongo-ovatis obtusis, coronas phyllis fere ex apice columnas 

 stamineas oriundis exterioribus ovato-oblongis sursum incurvis 

 vix usque medium bilobis lobis oblongo-triangularibus acutis 

 phyllis interioribus parvulis e basi lata subulatis superne incurvis, 

 antheris incurvis. 



Hab. Angola, Kuanaral, rare in grass-grown Mummua- woods 

 near the Eiver Domba ; Gossiueiler, 3062. 



Eadices ex scheda cl. detectoris fasciculatae, fusiformes, car- 

 nosas. Caules circa ad 6 dm. alt., inferne 2 mm. superne vix 1 mm.
