Very near to C. hirsuta, Hua, differing from it somewhat in the shape of the 
leaves, but particularly in the shape of the sepals and corolla-lobes. 
18. Carpodinus turbinata, Stapf. Add: De Wild. & Gentil, 
Lian. Caoutch. Congo, 102, tt. 18-19, figs. 1-3. Common in the 
forests of the Congo Free State. The latex is stated to be worthless. 
19. Carpodinus ligustrifolia, Stapf. Fruit elongate-ovoid from 
a truncate base, obtuse, emitting a resinous odour when cut, golden- 
yellow when mature, smooth, over 4 in. long, 24 in. across ; seeds 4-40, 
about 10 lin. long, embedded in white pulp.—De Wild. & Gentil, Lian. 
Caoutch. Congo, 104, t. 21, figs. 1-4. 
The area of this species extends, according to De Wildeman and Gentil, to the 
Lualabe-Kasai, Eastern Kwango and Aruwimi Districts.

Common in all the plains and in the clearings of the equatorial forests of 
eastern part of the Congo Free State and in French Congo. 
Dewevre’s statement that C. lanceolata assumes sometimes a climbing habit is, 
according to the accounts of more recent travellers and collectors, erroneous. Inves- 
tigations made recently by Schlechter and others into the value of the latex have 
demonstrated its worthlessness for caoutchouc production.

to 9 ft.; branches glabrous, slender, reddish-brown, bark peeling off.
