16. La, ameena, Hua in Journ. de Bot. xv. (1901) 8, 76, fig. 3. A 
‘shrub 6-12 ft. high; branches pendulous, reddish-velvety from long 
hairs when young, finally glabrescent, brown, with numerous minute 
Jenticels. Leaves oblong or ovate, shortly and acutely acuminate, 
rounded at the base, 24-4 in. long, 1}-1% in. broad, rigidly papery, 
weddish-pubescent on both sides when quite young, soon glabrescent ; 
midrib channelled above, prominent below; secondary nerves slightly 
oblique, very slender, straight or slightly curved, 12 on each side, con- 
nected by rather bold unequal arches; reticulation delicate; petiole 
scarcely 2 lin. long, pubescent. -Panicles elongate, sensitive, bearing 
very dense clusters of many sessile flowers at the ends of the distant 
branches, which often act as tendrils; bracts resembling the sepals. 
Calyx rufo-tomentose, 1-14 lin. long; sepals lanceolate-ovate, acute. 
Corolla white, sweet-scented ; tube inflated near the base, 5-6 lin. long, 
rusty-tomentose ; lobes oblong, obtuse, about as long as the tube, long 
-ciliate. Stamens inserted just above the calyx; anthers acute. Ovary 
-depressed-globose, densely tomentose. Fruit pyriform, pubescent when 
young, afterwards more or less globose, subapiculate, 5-15 lin. in diam. ; 
ind smooth, very thin ; seeds few, 4—6 lin. long, embedded in a sweetish 
yellowish-brown pulp.—Z. scandens, Hallier f. Kautschuklianen in

According to Hua and Chevalier, l.c. 78, it is common in Futa Jallon and as 
far as Bélédougou (Bambara), in French Guinea. Very closely allied to, and p2rhaps 
not specifically distinct from ZL, ferruginea. 
17. Li. ferruginea, Stapf. A scandent shrub with sensitive in- 
florescences acting as tendrils ; young branches densely rusty-tomentose, 
very late glabrescent, and then blackish with numerous minute lenticels. 
Leaves ovate-oblong or oblong, subacuminate, obtuse at the base, 3-54 
in. long, 14-24 in. broad, coriaceous, rusty-pubescent on both sides when 
quite young, soon perfectly glabrescent ; midrib finely channelled above, 
very prominent below ; lateral nerves oblique, slightly curved, 9-10 on 
each side, connected by unequal bold or flat usually inconspicuous arches, 
slender, rather inconspicuous above, distinct and raised below; reticula- 
tion fine, distinct below ; petiole 3—5 lin. long, rusty-tomentose. Panicle 
elongate, sensitive, bearing very dense many-flowered clusters at the ends 
-of the distant spreading or recurved branches, all parts rusty-tomentose ;
