BRITISH CENTRAL AFRICA 
had gathered plants on the Nyasa-Tanganyika plateau, and these reached Kew in 
1880. Messrs. Carson, Nutt, Scott-Elliot and Sir Harry Johnston have also collected 
on the plateau, and the first-named on a journey along the Kalungwizi River to 
Lake Mweru. 
The collection made at Boroma, on the north of the Zambezi, by the Rev. 
L. Menyharth, is only in part known. 
As a guide to the distribution, the region has been divided into four sections, as 
follows :— 
1. Shire Highlands. 
2. Nyasa-Tanganyika plateau; some of the plants probably collected on 
the German side of the boundary line. 
3. Extreme west, where Major Serpa Pinto alone has collected. 
4. Upper Zambezi. 
It must be understood that all the plants collected by Buchanan were obtained 
in the Shire Highlands; all by Carson and Nutt, unless otherwise stated, from the 
region near the south end of Lake Tanganyika; all from Serpa Pinto from the one 
plateau near the river Ninda; and all from Menyharth from Boroma. It was not 
thought necessary to repeat these localities with the collectors’ names.
