_ Schumann describes (l.c.) the inflorescence in the Latin diagnosis as terminal ur 
axillary, in the German text, however, as axillary and frequently springing from the 
lower denuded part of the branches. When I saw the specimen in the Berlin herbarium, 
Tomitted to make a special note concerning this point, but put the specimen down as 
belonging to Pleiocarpa, which implies that it has exclusively or predominantly 
axillary inflorescences. 
». P. bicarpellata, Stapf in New Bulletin, 1894, 21. A shrub 
or small tree, 3-24 ft. high, rarely climbing ; branches slender, quad-
