Lower Guinea. Gaboon: Munda; Sibange Farm, Soyauxr, 243! 
Soyaux, 243, differs in some respects from typical LZ. Dinklagei, and may possibly 
represent a distinct species. The internodes are longer, and the lateral nerves of the 
leaves less oblique. The persistent calyx, which forms a cup crowning the berry, is 
Shorter and broader than in the type.
