De Wildeman & Durand quote, in Reliquie Dewevriane, Dewevre as saying 
under 271 that this is sometimes a very high climber, whilst th+ Stanleyville plant 
is described as urborescent. The nunber which I noted from Dewévre’s specimen 
trom Chinganga was 261, not 271 as stated by De Wilde naa and Durand,

De Wildeman and Durand also suzgest (Contrib. Fl. Congo, l.c.) that a plant 
collected near Dembo by Gillet may belong to this species. It, however, is said to 
have somewhat longer, more slender corollas and a slightly shorter calyx.
