7. C. Barteri, Stapf in Kew Bulletin, 1894, 20. A climbing 
glabrous shrub, 12 ft. high, with hook-branched slender tendrils from 
the branch-forks; young branches dark reddish-brown, glossy, with 
minute lenticels. Leaves elliptic or oblong, shortly and abruptly or 
gradually acuminate or obtuse, shortly cuneate at the base, 34-4 in. 
long, 14-2 in. broad, thinly coriaceous, somewhat glossy above, opaque 
beneath, margins slightly wavy; midrib flat or obscurely channelled 
above, slightly convex below; secondary nerves about 15 to an inch, 
fine, raised on both sides, with still finer, parallel tertiary ones between 
them ; petiole 34 lin. long. Flowers sessile, few, glabrous, in small 
axillary clusters, slightly exceeding the petioles; bracts minute. Calyx 
3 lin. long, glabrous; sepals ovate, obtuse, ciliolate. Corolla glabrous 
without ; tube subcylindric, 24 lin. long, widest at 4 from the base, very 
pubescent within; lobes ovate-oblong, obtuse, rather longer than the 
tube. Stamens inserted near the base ; anthers erect ; filaments slightly 
curved, very short. Ovary ovoid-globose, passing into a stout style 
which is shorter than the ovoid-conical stigma.—Pierre in Bull. Soc.

partly. A climbing glabrous shrub with flagelliform tendrils from the 
branch-forks ; young branches slender, reddish-brown or fuscous, with 
inconspicuous minute lenticels, Leaves oblong-elliptic, abruptly acum! 
nate (acumen linear, obtuse, 3-6 lin. long), subcuneate or obtuse at the 
base, 4—5 in. long, 2-24 in. broad, thinly coriaceous, margins almost 
flat; midrib slightly sunk above, raised beneath ; secondary nerves fine, 
4—6 to an inch, with still finer, parallel tertiary ones between them, al 
slightly raised on both sides ; veins obscure beneath ; a distinct outer 
marginal nerve running close to the margin (apart from the inner, which 
consists of the arches connecting the lateral nerves); petiole 34-6 lin. 
long, rather stout. Cymes glabrous, 6- or more flowered, as long as the 
petioles or slightly longer; bracts minute ; pedicels up to 14 lin. long- 
Calyx 4 lin. long, glabrous; sepals ovate, subacute or obtuse, ciliolate.
