Carpodinus. | LXXXIV. APOCYNACE® (STAPF). 75 
long, 14 lin. broad. Ovary rufo-pubescent; style 34-44 lin. long, rough 
with minute curved hairs. Fruit globose, very large, orange-coloured 
(Dinklage). 
Upper Guinea. Cameroons: Batanga, in forest, Dinklage, 710! Bipinde, 
in forest, climbing into the highest trees, Zenker, 1573! 
Hallier also referred two specimens collected in the Cameroons by Dinklage 
(1060 ! 1457 !), to C. maxima, from which both are certainly distinct, but the material 
is too incomplete for description. No. 1060 has very large elliptic leaves (12 in. 
by 7 in.) with a broad, abruptly subacute base and very fine indumentum, and 
vena dots below. No. 1457 has similar, but narrower and perfectly glabrous 
eaves. 
2. C. uniflora, Stapf in Kew Bulletin, 1894, 19. A climbing 
shrub with pseudo-axillary tendrils; branches finely rusty-hairy when 
young, soon quite glabrous except the flowers, pale brown ;_lenticels 
few. Leaves oblong-lanceolate, abruptly and obtusely acuminate ; 
cuneate at the base, 6—9 in. long, 2 in. broad, pale green on both sides 
or almost glaucous above (dark green when fresh according to Dink- 
lage); midrib narrowly channelled above; secondary nerves 6-8 on 
each side, finely channelled above, prominent below, connected by bold 
arches rather distant from the margin; petiole stout, 4-6 lin. long. 
Flowers axillary, solitary, subsessile; bracts 4, broad, ovate, obtuse, 
finely pubescent. Calyx 14 lin. long; sepals similar to the bracts. 
Corolla violet; tube rather wide, 64—7 lin. long, widened below the 
mouth, finely pubescent without, slightly pubescent within ; lobes 
linear-lanceolate or linear, as long as the tube. Ovary and style- base 
shortly fulvo-tomentose ; style stouter than in the other species. Fruit

Upper Guinea. Cameroons: Ebea Falls, Dinklage, 231! 872! 
Lower Guinea. Gaboon: Munda; Sibange Farm, Soyaux, 269! and without 
precise locality, Klaine, 910! 
Soyxux states that this species yields a very fine rubber. Dinklage, 1270! from 
Batanga, quoted by Hullier, ].c. under C. uniflora, is evidently some other species, 
perhaps C. parviflora ; but the specimen is too defective for determination. 
3. C. Schlechteri, A. Schum. in Schlechter, Westafr. Kautschuk- 
Exped. 306 (name only), 305 with fig. A tall, glabrous climber, with 
flagelliform tendrils from the branch-forks. Leaves lanceolate or 
oblong-lanceolate, gradually acuminate, obtuse or subacute at the base, 
3—4 in. long, 1-14 in. broad, coriaceous, glabrous; midrib channelled 
above, raised below ; secondary nerves about 6 on each side, connected 
by bold arches (rather remote from the margin), finely channelled 
above, raised below ; reticulation conspicuous, raised on both sides; 
petiole up to 3 lin. long. Flowers axillary, solitary, subsessile. Calyx 
1} lin. long; sepals 4, ovate, subacute, membranous, ciliolate, otherwise 
glabrous. Corolla 1] in. long in bud; tube slightly widened below the
