Léopoldville and also to occur in the French Congo. I suppose it is the same plant 
which De Wildeman called M@. Heudelotii in Etudes Fl. Bas et Moyen Congo, i. 68, 
although he does not refer there to the Malouetia sp. of his Notes Apocyn. Laticif. 
Congo. If 1 am right, the Lower Congo plant can hardly be M, Heudelotit. 
2a. Alafia Whytei, Stapf. Branches terete, glabrous. Leaves 
elliptic-lanceolate to elliptic-oblong, rather abruptly and subobtusely 
acuminate, acute at the base, 4—8 in. long, 2 to over 3 in. broad, papery, 
dull, glabrous with the exception of the very sparingly pubescent under- 
side of the midrib; midrib deeply channelled above, prominent below ; 
secondary nerves 6—8, oblique, connected by very bold arches 4-6 lin, 
from the margin, raised like the very loosely anastomosing veins ; 
petiole 2~3 lin. long. Cymes many-flowered, collected in a very shortly 
peduncled or almost sessile congested corymb, 1—2 in. in diam., very 
delicately pubescent ; bracts broad ovate, obtuse, small; pedicels about 
1 lin. long. Calyx 1 lin. long, very delicately pubescent ; sepals ovate, 
obtuse, 2 or 3 of them with a gland at the base within. Corolla white 
(2), drying black, delicately velvety without; tube up to 5 lin. long, 
densely hairy below the stamens within; lobes suborbicular, 3 lin. in 
diam., hairy at the base. Anthers not reaching the corolla-mouth, 2} 
lin. long. Carpels delicately pubescent.

6a. Alafia parciflora, Stapf. Whole plant glabrous. Branches 
very slender, terete, drying dark brown; lenticels scattered, incon- 
spicuous. Leaves oblong to elliptic-oblong, acuminate (acumen narrow 
subacute or obtuse, up to 6 lin. long), rarely subobtuse, acute oF 
shortly acuminate at the base, 24-4 in, long, 1-2 in. broad, papery, 
dark green above, pale below; secondary nerves about 7 on each side, 
very slender, slightly raised below; veins anastomosing very loosely ; 
petioles 2-4 lin. long. Flowers in at first umbelliform, then racem!- 
form few-flowered cymes, usually 1 or 2 out at a time; peduncle slender, 
very short ; bracts very small and broad with narrow scarious margins ; 
pedicels up to 1 lin. long. Calyx glabrous, 1 lin. long; sepals ovate, 
obtuse with a small narrow gland at the base within. Corolla-limb 
yellow (?) with a red pubescent centre; tube red in the upper part, 
slender, about ‘5 lin. long, hairy within just below the stamens, other- 
wise glabrous ; lobes lanceolate-oblong, subacute, 34 lin. long. Staminal- 
cone 1} lin. long, reaching to 14 lin. below the corolla-mouth. Carpels 
glabrous with the exception of the whitish-puberulous tips.

The flowers and inflorescences are similar to those of 4, Benthamii, but the 
foliage is totally different,
