Abstract
Nearly 00oo species of this large genus are native to, or commonly naturalised in East Africa. Besides remarks concerning the nomenclature of many of these, information about species from other parts of Africa is included. I have already made+ some remarks about the difficult question of the division of the genus into sections. Mr. Bullock has since pointed out to me a serious omission in my remarks: I had overlooked a much earlier selection of Ipomoea pes-tigridis L. as the type species of Ipomoea, made by House in 1908.? The following notes on the African species in need of nomenclatural revision more or less follow the order laid down in the Flora of Tropical Africa 4 (2) by Baker and Rendle.
