passing into, or more or less distinct from, the cylindric style, about 
f lin. long; stigma clavate, slightly shorter than the style. Ovules in 2 
series of 4 each. 
Upper Guinea. Cameroons: Bipinde, in forest, Zenker, 1606! 
Var. B sclerophylla, Stapf. Leaves more coriaceous, with slightly revolute 
margins and no distinct outer marginal nerve. Flowers larger ; corolla-tube 6-7 lin. 
long; lobes 43-5 lin. long. Ovary gradually passing into the style.—C. visciflua, 
Hallier f, l.c. partly. C. sclerophylla, K, Schum. MS, 
Upper Guinea. Cameroons: Batanga, in forests, Dinklage, 840! 1161 ! 
Hallier describes the fruit (which I have not seen) of Dinklage, 1161, as globose, 
over 2 in. in diam., dotted with minute warts, with a hard pericarp and numerous 
seeds up to 8} lin. long, There is also, apart from the differences mentioned above, 
a difference in the facies of this variety, suggesting a more than varietal rank. 
9. ©. Staudtii, Stapf. A scandent shrub, glabrous except the 
inflorescences. Young branches rather slender, brown or blackish 
when dry, smooth; lenticels few and minute. Leaves lanceolate to 
oblong, acute or subcuneate at the base, abruptly acuminate (acumen 
linear, obtuse, up to 6 lin, long), 34-54 in. long, 14-1} in. broad, cori- 
aceous, fuscous when dry; midrib slightly sunk above, raised below; 
secondary nerves about 4—6 to an inch, fine, very faintly raised on both 
Sides; veins quite obscure; marginal arches close to the margin without 
an outer marginal nerve; margin revolute ; petiole 4 lin. long. Cymes 
(exclusive of the corollas) as Jong as the petioles or slightly longer, 
d- to many-flowered, minutely and scantily pubescent; bracts minute ; 
pedicels up to 2 lin. long, slender. Calyx slightly over 4 lin. long, 
glabrous; sepals ovate, subacute or obtuse, ciliolate. Corolla white, 
glabrous except the ciliolate lobes ; tube about 33 lin. long, subcylindrie, 
slender, slightly widened just above the calyx; lobes linear, subacute, 
3-3} lin. long. Stamens inserted near the base ; filaments very short ; 
anthers oblong, subobtuse. Ovary turbinate-globose, truncate, top 
pubescent ; style distinct, cylindric, very short; stigma clavate, slightly 
longer than the style.—C. visciflua, Hallier f. Kautschuklianen in Jahrb.

‘ Upper Guinea. Cameroons: Johann Albrecht’s Hohe, in forest, Staudt, 
60! 
This is, no doubt, nearly allied to C. visciflua, but distinguished by the narrower, 
more coriaceous, more obscurely nerved leaves, the laxer, slightly puberulous inflores- 
cences and the hairy ovary-top. 
10. C. cirrhosa, Radlk. in Abhandl. Naturw. Ver. Bremen, viii. 
(1883) 400. A climbing shrub with slender hook-branched tendrils ; 
young branches dark reddish-brown, almost glossy, with minute 
lenticels. | Leaves elliptic, abruptly acuminate (acumen linear, obtuse, 
up to 4 in. long), rounded at the base, 24-3} in. long, 1}-1} in. broad, 
thinly coriaceous, almost opaque; margins slightly wavy ; midrib flat 
or slightly convex above, slightly raised below ; secondary nerves about 
15 to an inch, fine, faintly raised on both sides with still finer, parallel 
tertiary ones between them; petiole 2-4 lin. long. Cymes many-
