Dear All,

In Bull.Museum Natl.Hist.Nat.Paris ser.B.18 Adansonia (1996),
Porembski & al. describe a new species of _Genlisea_ from
inselbergs in Guinea (tr W Af): _G.barthlottii_, named after the boss
of the authors (;-)).

It is related to _G.stapfii_ and _G.africana_ but differs in the
glandular + eglandular indumentum of the inflorescence,
somewhat longer corolla spur, and the dense glandular indumentum of
the ovary. The leaves are obviously somewhat larger than in
_G.stapfii_ but smaller than (and not as pronouncedly petiolate as)
in _G.africana_.

Kind regards
Jan
