EPITABERNA, K. Schum. in Engl. Jahrb. xxxiii. 316. 
This was described asa new genus of A pocynacee, allied to Taberne- 
montana, but differing in the perfectly inferior ovary and the diclinism 
of the flowers. It belongs to Rubiacew. The structure of the flower is 
essentially that of Heinsia, from which it differs only in the bracteate, 
obconic receptacle, the externally glabrous corolla-tube, the diclinism of 
the flowers and to some extent in the habit. 
The only species is EB. myrmecia, K. Schum., lec. 317, collected in the Cameroons, 
near Bipinde, Zenker, 2339 !
