Ansellia
This genus consists of only three or four species, broadly dispersed through tropical Africa, one extending as far as Natal. To the species and varieties described on p. 83, Vol. I., the following should now be added: A. africana (African), of Lindley. A synonym of A. confusa. A. confusa (confused). This differs from A. Africana in having the petals scarcely broader than the sepals. Western tropical Africa. (B. R. 1846, 30, under name of A. Africana.) A. congoensis (Congo). fl. produced in racemes, with erect, not spreading, pedicels; sepals and petals light greenish-yellow, with dark purplish-brown spots; side lobes of the lip whitish, veined purple, the narrow front lobe yellow, the two keels on the disk almost vanishing before reaching the middle of the front lobe. Congo, 1886. A handsome plant, similar to A. africana, but more floriferous.
