Two specimens collected by Thomson (73!) and Holland (4!) in Old Calabar, 
both with very young flowers, probably also belong here. This tree yields very hard 
timber according to Soyaux. 
6. C. jollyana, Stapf. A middle-sized tree, quite glabrous; 
branches stout. Leaves obovate to oblong, shortly apiculate, acute to 
subcuneate at the base, 6-10 in. long, 3-44 in. broad, subcoriaceous, 
dull green when dry; secondary nerves 7-9 on each side, oblique, 
straight or slightly curved ; petiole 4~8 lin. long. Inflorescences few- 
flowered, rather contracted ; peduncle stout, 2-24 in. long; bracts 
caducous ; pedicels 38-5 lin. long. Calyx 14 lin. long; sepals broad- 
ovate to suborbicular, ciliolate, with numerous small basal glands within. 
Corolla white; tube 14-13 lin. long, twisted below, widest 4-5 lin. 
above the base, then slender, cylindric, glabrous within except for 
5 tomentose lines below the anthers. Stamens inserted about 4 lin. 
above the base of the corolla-tube; anthers sagittate, 5 lin. longs 
acuminate-subulate. Carpels oblong-lanceolate; style 3-34 lin. long+ 
stigma cylindric, grooved, with a thin basal ring. Berries globose, UP 
to almost 4 in.in diam., orange-coloured, smooth ; rind up to 1 in. thick. 
Seeds very numerous, about 5 lin. long.—Zabernemontana jollyant: 
Pierre MS. 
Upper Guinea. Ivory Coast: Dabou, Jolly, 168! Gold Coast, Cameron ! 
Very similar to C. crassa, from which it differs in the narrower, more obovate OF 
obovate-oblong leaves and the elongate, comparatively slender corolla-tube. 
7. C. crassa, Stapf. A small tree or shrub; branches teret@, 
very stout. Leaves elliptic or oblong, very shortly acuminate or apicl 
late, acute or rounded at the base, 6~7 (rarely to 9) in. long, 345
