Punco ANDONGO.—In Panda forests at the river Mangue and near 
Caghuy ; young fl.-bud and unripe fr. Jan. 1857. No. 25810. 
HviLLa.—In the more open woods and thickets between Lopollo 
and Quipungo, sporadic ; fl. and unripe fr. April 1860. No. 2581. 
In Engl. Bot. Jahrb. xxiii. p. 437 (1897), K. Schumann suggests the 
identity of our No. 2581 with his R. Engleriana described on his previous 
page and figured on p. 70 of Engl. & Prantl, Nat. Pflanzenfam, iv. 
(4) (1891); our plant has, however, rounded corolla-lobes and other- 
wise differs from his species. Our plant was also collected in Angola 
by Anchieta n. 25 in 1879, and by Capello n.165. The following pro- 
bably belongs to the same species :— 
Hu1iia.—An evergreen shrub, 4 to 6 ft. high ; leaves coriaceous, 
glossy ; flowers white-reddish, 24 in. long, handsome, very sweetly 
fragrant, nodding, like a Bignoma in shape; fruit 1-celled; seeds 
numerous, enveloped in a sweet pulp, which is flavoured like that of 
the fruit of Ceratonia Siliqua L. and 1s consumed with great avidity by 
the negroes. In open forests between Huilla and Caconda, rather rare ;

GoLuncGo ALTO.—Calyx spathaceous according to Welwitsch (though 
the specimens before me do not confirm this description), 5-toothed ; 
corolla dextrorsely contorted (as regarded from above) in estivation, 
slightly ventricose in the middle in the bud ; stamens 5, inserted below 
the throat of the corolla, without filaments ; anthers yellow, adnate 
for two-thirds of their length to the corolla-tube on an elliptical 
tract ; style columnar, twisted towards the upper part ; stigma not 
seen (fully developed) with 5 short green dextrosely twisted foliaceous 
segments. In the forests of Capopa ; foliage, beginning of August ; 
fl.-buds end of Sept. 1855. No. 3095. A very elegant little tree, 7 
to 10 feet high ; branches erect-spreading ; leaves dry-coriaceous, very

yellowish, 5-lobed; fruit (not quite ripe) ovoid-fusiform, crowned 
with the calyx-limb, unequal at the base, bright yellowish-green 
outside, slightly furrowed, the furrows deep at the base. In 
remarkably shady primitive forests near the spring of Capopa; fl. 
beginning of Nov. 1855. No. 3094. Capopa; fl. beginning of June.
