I have not seen the fruit of this species, but only seeds and a branch with a 
frnit-stalk. Pierre placed it, like C. Klaine, in his section Commidodia. It 
differs from C. Kilainei in the leaves and flowers, as well as (according to Pierre) in 
the fruit. 
12. ©. landolphioides, Stapf A tall powerful climber with long 
robust hook-branched tendrils from the branch-forks, glabrous except 
the inflorescences. Flowering branches rather robust, brown, dotted 
with numerous whitish lenticels. Leaves oblong, more or less abruptly 
acuminate (acumen obtuse, often very short), subacute or rounded at 
the base, 5-6 in. long, 2~2? in. broad, thinly coriaceous, fuscous and 
somewhat glossy when dry; midrib narrowly channelled above, 
prominent below; secondary nerves slender, about 9 on each side, 
obliquely spreading, straight or very slightly curved, connected (2 lin. 
within the margin) by rather bold zig-zag arches, finely channelled 
above, raised below, reticulation loose, slightly raised below ; petiole 4— 
5 lin. long. Cymes axillary and terminal, subsessile or very shortly 
peduncled, contracted, few- to many-flowered, rusty-puberulous, or 
gathered into short terminal panicles; bracts ovate, broad, obtuse ; 
pedicels very short, rather stout. Calyx 1} lin. long; sepals very 
broad, ovate to rotundate, obtuse, minutely puberulous, ciliolate. 
Corolla glabrous, 10-12 lin. long in bud; tube cylindric, slightly 
widened from the middle upwards, 5-6 lin. long; lobes linear-oblong, 
obtuse, about 5 lin. long. Stamens inserted in the upper third of the

Upper Guinea. Cameroons: Buea, Deistel, 556! 
Lehmbach’s 34, from Buea, quoted by Hallier under C. Landolphioides, may be 
correctly referred here, but consists only of barren shoots.

climbing shrub, quite glabrous except the inflorescences; tendrils 
unknown; young branches brown or greyish, dotted with lenticels.
