5. G. glandulosa, Stapf. A climbing shrub, quite glabrous; 
branches rather slender, fistular, olive-green. Leaves oblong, long and 
acutely acuminate, acute or sometimes obtuse at the base, 4—54 in. long:

sepals ovate to elliptic-oblong, obtuse or subobtuse, somewhat pruimose 
with a few small glands inside the base. Corolla-tube 13-2} in. long; 
widened and twisted at the base, scantily hairy within above the anthers ; 
lobes very oblique, lanceolate, long tapering, over 1 in. long. Anthers 
almost 3 lin. long. Style ? lin. long. 
Upper Guinea. Sierra Leone, near Regent, Scott-Elliot, 5821 ! 
To this species belong probably also specimens collected on the Aburi Hills by 
Johnson (477 !), and near Kwahu, Jchnson (669 !), Gold Coast Colony. Both ber 
intracalycular glands, and the first agrees with the Sierra Leone specimens in er 
respects except the much reduced inflorescence, slightly smaller calyx-segments ~ 
thinner durk green leaves ; the other has, however, comparatively broad leaves wit 
short subcbtuse tips, petioles up to 7} lin. long and still smaller calyx-regments. 
6. G. eglandulosa, Stapf. A climbing shrub, perfectly glabrous+ 
young branches terete, compressible, sometimes fistular, olive-gree?
