Var. pilosa, C. H. Wright. Ultimate branches of the inflorescence clothed with 
spreading brown hairs. 
Upper Guinea. Lagos, Millen, 210! 
15. C. liebrechtsiana, De Wild. & Durand in Comptes-rendus 
Soc. Bot. Belg. xxxviii. 38. A tree; branchlets pilose. Leaves 
alternate, ovate-rotundate, obtuse or shortly acute, rounded or more or 
less acute at the base or subcordate, 14-8 in. long, 14-6 in. long, 
entire, undulate, glabrous above, pilose beneath; nerves prominent 
beneath ; petiole ?-6 in. long. Cymes axillary, very long, irregularly 
much branched, many-flowered, 9-18 in. long; flowers subsessile. 
Calyx obscurely longitudinally ribbed, velvety outside, glabrous inside, 
4 lin. long, 2 lin. in diam.; teeth 2-5, more or less acute. Corolla 
tubular-campanulate, 44 lin. long, pale yellow; lobes 5, undulate. 
Stamens 5, included; anthers dark brown. Ovary globose; style 
short. Fruit unknown.—Reliq. Dewevr. 163. 
South Central. Congo Free State: without precise locality, Dewevre. 
Judging from the description, this must be extremely close to C. Irvingii, Baker. 
16. ©. Johnsoni, Baker. A small shrub; branchlets densely 
hairy. Leaves very shortly petioled, orbicular, 14-2 in. long and 
broad, obtuse, entire, broadly rounded at the base, subcoriaceous, 
slightly hairy on the upper surface, densely hairy all over beneath; 
lateral nerves 3-4 on each side. Cymes dense, compound, many- 
flowered, long-peduncled ; flowers polygamous ; branches very pilose ; 
pedicels very short. Calyx turbinate, 4 lin. long, densely and 
adpressedly pubescent on both surfaces, not ribbed ; lobes small, ovate, 
scarious, with strong intramarginal nerves. Corolla pale-yellow ; tube 
funnel-shaped, 34 lin. long; lobes 4-5, oblong, obtuse, 2 lin. long. 
Stamens inserted just above the middle of the corolla-tube; filaments 
densely pilose just above their insertion. 
Upper Guinea. (Gold Coast: Afram Plains, Johnson, 705! 
Very closely allied to C. Irvingii, Baker, of which it may be a young or stunted 
state. 
17. C. Warneckei, Giirke MSS. A shrub; branches pubescent. 
Leaves obovate, 1} in. long, obtuse, entire, subcuneate at the base, 
subcoriaceous, scabrid on the upper surface, pubescert all over beneath ; 
petiole 4 lin. long. Flowers in dense terminal cymes, with pubescent 
branches ; pedicels very short. Calyx turbinate, pubescent on both 
surfaces, not ribbed, 4 lin. long; lobes small, ovate, acuminate, with a 
Strong intramarginal nerve. Corolla-tube narrowly funnel-shaped or 
almost cylindrical, 5 lin. long; lobes 5, oblong, 14 lin. long, obtuse. 
Stamens inserted a short distance down the corolla-tube, rather shorter 
than the corolla-lobes, densely pilose in the lower part Ovary rudi- 
mentary, globose. 
Upper Guinea. Togo, Warnecke, 100! near Lome, Warnecke, 308! 
This may prove to be only a variety of C. Johnsoni, Baker.
