African Dact; rope um from the American posee and there- 
fore Bare placed this plant under the older name of Cassipourea, to 
which genus I dati er the species of Dactylopetalum should be trans- 
ferred. C. verticillata is probably nearly related to C. deus jf Tul, 
a agascar species l have not seen, and also bears considerable 
resemblance to Dactylopetalum Barteri, Hook, f., but is readily dis- 
tinguished from all known species by its verticillate leaves, which are 
Sometimes 3, sometimes 4 in a whorl.
