Very nearly allied to E„ bongensis , from which it differs mainly in having the 
glomerules shortly peduncled, and in having usually larger leaves, though in the case 
of Scott Elliot 8033, from Unyoro, the leaves are no larger than in E. bongensis . 
The flowers only differ in that there is no trace of an extrastaminal ring of glands in 
E. rigidifolia. 
5 . E. olacifolia, Prain in Kew Bull. 1911, 89 (1911). Glomeruli 
pedunculati. Stamina 12; annulus extrastaminalis plerumque perfectus. 
Ovarium dense adpresse strigosum. Folia glabra. 
[IX.] East Central Africa. Uganda: Western Prov. ; Toro, 
Bukarungu, 2,900 ft., Bagshawe 1191! 
Closely allied to E* rigidifolia , but readily distinguished by the longer petioles, 
the strigose ovary, and the sparingly setose capsule. The extrastaminal ring of 
glands is usually complete; sometimes a gland may be absent or replaced by a stamen. 
The hypogynous scales are large, prominent, and almost staminodial, their tips reach¬ 
ing the bases of the stigmas. 
IT 3. * Fischerianae.’ Glomeruli pedtmculati ; rhachides peduncidisque 
glabrae. Stamina 10-21 ; glandulae parce hirsutae , extrastaminales annu- 
him incompletum vel perfectum efficientes. Ovarium glabrum. Stipulae 
manifeste in aculeolos conicos rectos hamatosve mutatae. Folia tenuia. 
6. E. Paxii, Rendle in Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot., xxxvii. 212, t. 3 (1905). 
Peduncidi glomerulis vix longiores. Stamina 15 vel 18 vel 21 ; annulus 
extrastaminalis saepissime incompletus. 
[IX.] East Central Africa. German East Africa : Kilimanjaro; 
Marangu, 5,000 ft., Volkens 2354 ! Uganda: Western Prov. ; Ankole, near 
the River Rufua, Bagshawe 513 ! 
Very nearly allied to E. Fischeri , from which it differs mainly in the shorter 
peduncles and the more numerous stamens, the latter surrounded by only an imperfect 
ring of glands. 
7 . E. Fischeri, Pax in Engl. Bot. Jahrb., xix. 88 (1894). Pedunculi 
glomerulis longiores; rhachissaepe elongata glomerulum alterum terminalem 
suffulciens. Stamina 10-12 ; annulus extrastaminalis perfectus glandulis
