Abstract
A record and discussion of the Cunene-Zambezi Expedition that took place in Angola from 1899 to 1900 is provided. Although the main aim of the expedition w as to evaluate the economic potential of southern Angola, it also resulted in significant botanical collections made by Hugo Baum (1867—1950), many of which serve as holotypes of names o f plants from the region, and beyond. The itinerary' is supplemented by a map illustrating the route followed by the expedition, and locality names are clarified and updated. A full list of the type specimens of flowering plants is provided with their nomenclature updated and an indication of w here known duplicates are housed.
