342 FLORA NIGRITIANA. 
natis integerrimis v. pauciserratis coriaceis.—On the Quorra, 
opposite Stirling, Vogel. 
Folia 2 v. raro 8 poll. longa. Inflorescentia C. elliptice. Flores 
desunt. Pedicelli fructiferi lineam longi. Calyx persistens, 
24 lin. longus, coriaceus, glaber, ultra medium in lacinias 5 ob- 
longas valvatim fissus. Capsula glabra, calyce brevior, obtuse 
trigona, apice depressa, trivalvis, trilocularis, dissepimentis 
membranaceis. Semina in loculis solitaria, (adjecto tamen ovulo 
abortivo) pendula, ovoidea: testa chartacea; albumen carnosum; 
embryo albumini fere zequilongus, rectus ; cotyledones foliacez, 
late ovate ; radicula cotyledonibus szquilonga, ad hilum spec- 
tans. Stylus in fructu persistens, flexuosus, apice incrassatus. 
This may possibly be the species alluded to by Brown in the 
Appendix to Tuckey's Congo, and named by De Candolle C. 
Congensis, but not described. Without the flowers, (of which 
the buds in the specimen are still in the earliest stage), this 
plant can only be distinguished from the West Indian C. ellip- 
lica by the smaller and more coriaceous leaves.
