oblong, very obtuse, ciliolate, eglandular. Corolla white, very fra- 
grant; tube slender, slightly dilated near the base, more or less

very oblique, lanceolate, long tapering to an acute point, over 1 in.

Var. B macrocalyx, Stapf. Calyx 33-4 lir. long. 
Upper Guinea. Old Calabar, Mann, 2253! 
I have regarded Mann’s specimen as a variety of G@. eglandulosa, on the assump- 
tion that the size of the calyx of this species varies in a similar way to that of 
Callichilia Barter’. 1 cannot discover any other difference. 
7. G. crispiflora, Stapf. A tall climber, perfectly glabrous; 
branches terete, slender, scarcely fistular, olive-green. | Leaves oblong, 
abruptly acuminate (acumen linear, obtuse, 3—5 lin. long), acute at the

green beneath when dry; secondary nerves very faint, 7-9 on each 
side; petiole not flexuous, 4-1} in. long. Inflorescences few-flowered, 
very shortly racemose or subumbellate ; peduncle 3-4 lin. Jong * 
pedicels 4~5 lin. long. Calyx 4-44 lin. long; sepals oblong, slightly 
constricted above the base, obtuse or subacuminate, recurved, ciliolate, 
eglandular. Corolla-tube 14-12 in. long, quite straight, slightly 
widened towards both ends, hairy within from the base of the stamens 
upwards ; lobes obliquely Janceolate, long tapering, very wavy. Anthers 
almost 4 lin. long. Style 14 lin. long. Mericarps obliquely ovoid with 
a short broad flattened beak and 2 lateral keels, over 1 in. long ; peri-

26. CONOPHARYNGIA, D. Don, Gen. Syst. iv. 94. 
Calyx small (at least comparatively), subcoriaceous ; sepals united 
at the base only, imbricate, obtuse, each with several minute glands

tube cylindric, spindle- or barrel-shaped, widest at or below the middle, 
Sometimes twisted, naked at the mouth, usually more or less tomentose

anthers conniving in a cone, subsessile, included, rarely shortly exserted
