Now, more than 10year s later the second and final instalment follows; the demands of present-day university democracy are not conducive to voluminous and intricate scientific research and publi cations. The work was completed by Dr. ABDALLAH and myself but the msc. needed checking, polishing and editing before it could go to press. Mr. G. BOELEMA did this painstaking and time consuming task very ably, in high spirits and undauntedly. Thanks to his help and to the generosity of the authorities of the University at Wageningen, the revision is now completed and published. Miss L. TH. M. E. VAN DER RIET (now Mrs L. TH. M. E. MAAS) made the drawings, in the same way as she did for the first instalment. Two tables were done by Miss I. ZEWALD (nos 3 and 90). Mr. M. R. MOUTHAAN assisted in the registration and labeling of some 20.000 herbarium specimens. Prof. dr. F. A. STAFLEU and Dr. W. T. STEARN repeatedly advised. To the list of Herbaria are to be added: HEID: Bot. Inst. d. Univ., Berg- heimer Strasse 1, Heidelberg, Germany; MPU: Inst. Bot., Univ. Montpellier, Montpellier, France; TL: Lab. Bot., Fac. Sc, Allée Jules Guesde, Toulouse, France. Dr. ABDALLAH, Mr. BOELEMA and I spent months in trying to decipher col lector's names and the localities they noted on their labels. Often we were unable to arrive at a clear conclusion and it was then decided to approach some sort of spelling which seemed the best among several possibilities. It is hoped that the numerous shortcomings in this respect will not be criticized too severely; we tried our best. While this second instalment appears as No. 14 of the Mededelingen Land bouwhogeschool 78,bot h instalments, the textual parts and the atlas of figures united, will appear as an issue of Belmontia.

Phan. 7, 1839, p. 101. Stefaninia Chiovenda, Fl. Somala 1929, p. 77 (= Stephaninia auett.). Annual or perennial herbs or suffruticose, ascending or erect. Stems pithy, as a rule finally hollow (pith disintegrating). Indumentum, if present, pilose (hairs whitish, flattened, wrinkly, blunt) or, more often, con sisting of small, conical or mitriform trichomes or papillae. Leaves sometimes rosetted, always partly along the stem, entire or incised, or imparipinnatifid or -sect, decurrent laminar rims and midrib (if sometimes very narrowly and continuous onto the stemribs), rarely petiolate, spirally arranged. Blade (often long) attenuate (and decurrent onto the petiole). Midrib and side- nerves prominent on the lower surface, in lobed leaves excentric. Basal minute dents, perhaps glandular, present in the position of stipules. Flowers zygomorphous, in terminal, simple or branched racemes, solitary in the axil of a bract (which is accompanied at each side by one basal dent), white, cream, yellow or greenish.
