44 LXXXIV. APOCYNACEE (STAPF). [ Landolphia. 
species of Antidesma in the Kew set. De Wildeman and Durand quote L. Mannii, 
as collected by Dewévre, 885, near Bumba on the Upper Congo. Althongh the 
determination is attributed to me, I have no note or recollection of it. It may have 
been named by Dewévre himself, who, however, mixed up ZL. robusta, L. Klainet 
_and Clitandra robustior. If Dewévre’s 885 is one of them, it can only be Z. 
robusta, if I may judge from his note quoted by De Wildeman and Durand.

Kjobenhavn, 1855, 190. A scandent shrub, with sensitive inflorescences 
acting as tendrils ; young branches minutely rusty-tomentose, at length 
slightly glabrescent, dark reddish-brown or almost black, scantily 
dotted with whitish lenticels. Leaves oblong to lanceolate-oblong, 
obscurely or distinctly shortly and obtusely acuminate, rounded (rarely 
subacute) at the base, 2}—4 in. long, 1-2 in. broad, thinly coriaceous, 
very scantily pubescent on both sides when quite young,soon glabrescent, 
dark green and glossy above, much paler beneath ; midrib channelled 
above, raised below ; secondary nerves much spreading, 12-15 on each 
side, almost straight, very slender, faintly raised on both sides, alter- 
nating with still finer tertiary nerves, all the nerves and the delicate 
network of veins dark brown or black below; marginal arches flat; 
petiole up to 3 lin. long. Panicle elongate, peduncled, bearing dense 
<lusters of many sessile flowers at the ends of its spreading or recurved 
branches, finely rusty tomentose all over; rhachis (2-5 in. long) or 
some of the branches acting as tendrils ; peduncle 2—4 in. long, slender ; 
bracts oblong, acute, tomentose. Calyx rusty-tomentose, 14-14 lin. 
long; sepals ovate-oblong, obtuse, more or less laterally compressed in 
the upper half, and therefore apparently acuminate. Corolla 1}-1# in. 
long in bud; tube slender, cylindric, about 9-12 lin. long, slightly 
widened and staminiferous about 14-2 lin. above the base, very 
minutely pubescent, usually along 5 fine longitudinal lines, otherwise 
glabrous, vellow at the base, turning purple; lobes linear-oblong; 
obtuse, 5-8 lin. long, ciliate, snow-white. Anthers ovate, oblong, acute, 
scarcely 1 lin. long. Ovary globose, top very minutely rufo-papillose. 
Style and stigma scarcely 14 lin. long, the latter cylindric from a thicker 
base, bifid. Fruit globose, of the size of a small apple, finely tomentose 
when young.—JL. scandens, vars. genuina and coriacea, Hallier f. Kaut-
