200 LXXXIV. APOCYNACEE (STAPF) [ Alafia. 
Corolla white, slightly scented ; tube hairy within below the stamens, 
otherwise glabrous, 2}—3 lin. long; lobes broad, ovate, slightly longer 
than the tube. Staminal cone reaching or very slightly exceeding the 
corolla-mouth, scarcely 14 lin. long. Carpels pubescent.— Hiern in Cat. 
Afr. Pl. Welw. i. 673. 
Lower Guinea. Angola: Golungo Alto; in dense forests on the mountains 
of Queta, Welwitsch, 5938! 5955! 6692! 
9. A. sarmentosa, Stapf in Kew Bulletin, 1894, 123. A tall 
climber with leng drooping glabrous branches. Leaves oblong, 
obtusely and shortly acuminate, obtuse or acute at the base, up to 
34 in. long and 1} in. broad, thin, more or less shiny, quite glabrous; 
secondary nerves 5-7 on each side, faint like the lax venation; 
petiole 2 lin. long. Cymes small, subsessile, few-flowered, very 
minutely puberulous; bracts minute; pedicels slender, short. Calyx 
almost glabrous, minutely ciliolate, not quite 1 lin. long; intra- 
calycular glands minute. Corolla white, scarlet and velvety at the 
mouth, vanilla-scented ; tube scantily hairy below the stamens, other- 
wise glabrous, 24 lin. long; lobes oblong, obtuse, 24 lin. long. 
Staminal cone reaching the corolla-mouth, 1? lin. long. Carpels 
glabrous.—Hiern in Cat. Afr. Pl. Welw. i. 674. 
Lower Guinea. Angola: Golungo Alto; in the less dense thickets on the 
mountains of Queta, above Ndele, rather rare, Welwitsch, 5965! 
Imperfectly known species. 
10. A. microstylis, A. Schum. in Engl. Jahrb. xxiii. 1896, 280. 
Branches compressed when young, soon terete, quite glabrous, drying 
black. Leaves oblong or oblong-lanceolate, shortly and obtusely 
acuminate, acute at the base, 14-3} in. long, 4-14 in. broad, glabrous, 
glossy ; secondary nerves over 10 on each side, raised above and below ; 
petiole very slender, up to 14 lin. long. Racemes or panicles 5-8- 
flowered, terminal ; bracts triangular-lanceolate, 14 lin. long. Calyx 
glabrous, ? lin. long; segments ovate, acute; glands conspicuous. 
Corolla-tube 3 lin. long; lobes obliquely lanceolate, obtuse, 7 lin. 
long. Anther-cone 1} lin. long, slightly exserted (?). Ovary hairy 
along the angles (?). 
Nile Land. Uganda: Ntebbi (Entebbe), 4300 ft., Stuhlmann, 1474; and 
without precise locality, Stuhlmann, 1262. 
K, Schumann compares this plant with A, Zucida, from which he says it differs 
in the narrow corolla-lobes and much longer tube. He quotes the locality where 
Stuhlmann collected No. 1474 as Nsebbi, and the date as January. This stands 
evidently for Ntebbi (Entebbe) where Stuhlmann was in January 1891, and I suspect, 
in spite of certain discrepancies, that it is the same plant which Whyte collected 
near Entebbe and which I referred to A. lucida above. 
11. A. orientalis, XK. Schum. in Notizbl. Kinigl. Bot. Gart. Berlin, 
iii. 84, name only. 
Mozamb. Dist. German East Africa: Usambara; probably in the Handei 
Mountains, Scheffler. ‘
