Abstract
During the autumn of 1988, Dr Lobin of the University of Saarbrucken, W. Germany, visited the Kew Herbarium in order to obtain names for the botanical collections that he had made in Somalia, and also for those accumulated by Mr Ralf Peveling at the Balcad Nature Reserve (Anon. 1987) near Mogadishu. Amongst the specimens made by the latter was found an undescribed species of Turraea which matched three other fragmentary collections in the Kew herbarium. These had been annotated by Mr. Jan Gillett as 'Turraea parvifolia Deflers forma vel sp. aff.' and reference is made to them by Kuchar (1986). In fact, the curved staminal tube and large ovoid receptaculum pollinis of Peveling's species suggest an equally close link with the predominantly Kenyan species Turraea fischeri Guerke and Turraea cornucopia Styles & White.
