I referred (in De Wild & Darand, Contrib. Fl. Congo, i. 39; cf. also De Wild. & 
Durand, Relig. Dewevr. in Ann. Mus. Congo, sér. 3, fase. ii. 153) to “ Taberne- 
montana Barteri” an imperfect specimen, collected on the Congo between Lukolela 
and Ngomba by Dewévre (793), which was not accessible when I revised Taberne- 
montana, but I have little doubt that the determination was erroneous so far as the 
Species is concerned.
