acute, minutely ciliolate. Corolla whitish or yellowish, waxy, 6 lin. long

lobes linear, slightly broader at the base, obtuse, 5 lin. long. Filaments 
short, inserted just below the middle of the tube; anthers oblong, obtuse. 
Ovary turbinate, suleate, glabrous, gradually narrowed into the sub- 
cylindric sulcate style ; stigma minute, globose-ovoid, obscurely 2-lobed.

Dinklage, 1621! from Liberia (according to the collector a rubber climber highly 
appreciated by the natives) is mentioned by Hallier (l.c.) as coming very near to 
C. flavidiflora, The specimen in the Berlin Herbarium is so fragmentary that not 
even the genus can be ascertained with certainty.

2, 130. A tall, twining (?), glabrous shrub; young branches reddish- 
brown, when dry grooved and wrinkled, with numerous brown lenticels. 
Leaves oblong to elliptic-oblong or oblong-lanceolate, abruptly acuminate 
(acumen linear, up to 5 lin. Jong, 1} lin. broad), subacute at the base, 
3 to over 6 in. long, 14-2} in. broad, thinly coriaceous; midrib flat or 
slightly sunk above, distinctly prominent below; secondary nerves 
distant, about 7 on each side, connected by bold arches, which are rather 
distant from the margins, slightly channelled above, raised below ; veins 
inconspicuous ; petivle about 3 lin. long, channelled. Flowers sessile 
in dense, sessile, axillary and terminal, almost glabrous, many-flowered 
clusters ; bracts minute. Calyx $ lin. long; sepals ovate, acute, ciliolate. 
Corolla sweet-scented, glabrous without, about 5-6 lin. long in bud ; 
buds slender ; tube pink, spindle-shaped, widest just below the middle, 
2-34 lin. long, scantily hairy within; lobes white, linear, obtuse, as 
long as the tube. Filaments slender, 1 lin. long, inserted at 4 from the 
base of the corolla-tube; anthers ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, 2 lin. 
long. Ovary subglobose, truncate, minutely hairy at the top; style very 
short ; stigma subcylindric, deeply bifid, with a ring of minute hairs at 
the base, scarcely reaching the anthers. Ovules 2-seriate, 3-4 in each 
series. Fruit ovoid, orange-coloured, much smaller than that of Lan-
