long; pedicels slender, up to 5 lin. long. Calyx almost 14 lin. long; 
sepals ovate, obtuse, ciliolate, eglandular. Corolla white; tube cylindric, 
gradually widened at the base, not twisted, 6 lin. long, villous within

2. G. brachypoda, Stapf. A climbing shrub, up to 6 ft. high, 
quite glabrous; branches fistular, dark brownish-green. Leaves oblong, 
abruptly acuminate (acumen linear, very slender, acute, up to 4 lin. 
long), rounded or subacute at the base, 2-44 in. long, 1-2 in. broad, 
chartaceous, dark brownish-green above, pale brown below when dry; 
secondary nerves 7-8 on each side, spreading almost at right angles, 
curved; petiole 14-2 lin. long. Inflorescences umbelliform, about 10- 
flowered, on a very short stout peduncle ; pedicels slender, up to 4 lin. 
Jong. Calyx scarcely 1 lin. long; sepals suborbicular, eglandular, 
ciliolate. Corolla white; tube slender, 14 in. long, slightly widened 
and twisted at the base, glabrous within above the stamens; lobes 
linear, long tapering, } in. long, wavy. Anthers 2 lin. long. Stigma 
almost sessile.— Taberneemontana brachypoda, K.Schum. in Engl. Jahrb.

K. Schumann also quotes (l.c.) a specimen collected on the Sibange farm, in 
Munda, Gaboon, by Soyaux (239), under his Tabernemontana brachypoda. _The 
Kew specimen, so numbered, ha3 lanceolate to lanceolate-oblong, gradually acuminite 
leaves, which dry green above and pile yellowish-green below and have longer 
petioles. I have no doubt that it is specifically distinct from G@. brachypoda ; but as 
there is only one flower-bud with the specimen at Kew, I must confine myself t> 
drawing attention to this plant. 
3. G. latifolia, Stapf. A climbing shrub, 6-8 ft. high, quite 
glabrous; branches fistular, rather slender, pale green. Leaves elliptic 
to elliptic-oblong, abruptly acuminate (acumen very slender, sublinear,
