NOTES . — It was with some difficulty and only after other species had been excluded that Trichoscypha dinklagei , of which all the type material was lost, could be identified as representing T. bijuga . The short pedicel, the short stamens, and the glabrous disc, as mentioned in the original description, point to this species. Trichoscypha bijuga is a common species in the region around Kribi where DINKLAGE collected the type of T. dinklagei . More than 20 out of a total of 55 collections of this species examined from Cameroun are from this area, one of which from near Kribi is here designated as the neotype . 10° 0° 10° 20° 0° 10° 20° 30° 40°
