12-15 on each side, subhorizontal, very slender, slightly raised on both 
sides, connecting arches close to the margin; reticulation faint ; petiole 
slender, 14-24 lin. long. Cymes shortly peduncled, few-flowered, 
glabrous or scantily pubescent, axillary, often terminating short small- 
leaved branchlets; peduncles slender, 1-2 lin. long; bracts oblong, 
obtuse, up to 1} lin. long; pedicels up to1} lin. long. Calyx glaucous, 
scarcely 1 lin. long; sepals ovate, obtuse to subacute, ciliolate, margins 
very thin. Corolla glabrous without, 8 lin. long in bud ; tube widened 
close to the base, cylindric upwards, 4—5 lin. long, hairy within; lobes 
linear-oblong, obtuse, as long as the tube or slightly longer. Stamens 
inserted about 1 lin. above the base; filaments very short; anthers 
oblong, apiculate, scarcely 1 lin. long. Ovary depressed-globose, 
densely covered with stiff whitish hairs; style glabrous, including the 
stigma } lin. long; stigma capitate, with a distinct annular thickening 
at the base, short, 2-lobed.—Sadebeck, Nutzpfl. Deutsch. Kolon. in

The specimen quoted by Hallier, l.c., from Mossamedes (Moller !) is certainly 
distinct from C. henriquesiana, and identical with an imperfectly known new species, 
distributed from Berlin as Carpodinus chylorrhiza, K. Schum. see p. 58. C. henri- 
quesiana is stated to be one of the sources of the so-called root-rubber. 
2. C. parvifolia, Stapf. <A climbing shrub; young branches 
slender, glabrous, dark brown, with whitish lenticels. Leaves elliptic to 
elliptic-oblong, abruptly and obtusely acuminate, rounded or subacute at 
the base, 24-3) in. long, 14-1? in. broad, thinly coriaceous, quite 
glabrous, slightly shining above ; midrib flat above, distinctly raised 
below ; secondary nerves rather spreading, almost straight, slender, 8—9 
on each side, raised below, connected by bold but very fine arches some- 
what remote from the margins ; veins lax, very obscure ; petiole 3—4 lin. 
long. Flowers sessile in small sessile axillary and terminal (pseudo- 
terminal ?) clusters. Calyx glabrous, } lin. Jong; sepals very minutely 
ciliolate. Corolla glabrous without, not quite 3 lin. long in bud; tube 
cylindric from the base to just beyond the middle, then more or less in- 
flated, constricted again at the mouth, slightly over 14 lin. long, pubescent 
within near the insertion of the stamens; lobes oblong, obtuse, slightly 
over 1 lin. long. Filaments very slender, short; anthers reaching 
almost to the narrow mouth, ovate-oblong, apiculate. Ovary ovoid, 
puberulous in the upper part, passing into the slender style ; stigma sub- 
subulate from a thickened base, 2-fid ; the whole pistil 1 lin. long. Fruit 
unknown.—C'ylindropsis parvifolia, Pierre in Bull. Soc. Linn. Paris,
