APOCYNACEJE (H. F. Wernham) 61 
secundariis pro rata distantibus; cymis densiusculis sessilibus 
alaribus; floribus inter parvos, bracteis minutis deltoideis ut 
calycis brevis dentes scariosis; corollae tubo pro rata valido 
supra medium constricto deinde infra lobos lanceolatos obtusos 
ampliato ; ovario pubescente stylo filiformi. 
Oban ; n. 1039. 
Leaves 5-7 em. long, with acumen 1-1°5 em. long, and 3-3°5 em. 
wide. Cymes rarely much more than 1 em. broad. Flowers 5 mm. 
long. Calyx about 1 mm. long. Corolla-tube 8-4 mm.; lobes 
1:5 mm. long. 
Near C. parvifolia Stapt, but differs chiefly in the calyx and pistil. 
Carpodinus oxyanthoides Wernham sp. nov. Frutex glaber, 
cirrhis flagelliformibus scandens, ramulis cortice cinereo squamato 
indutis gracilibus ; foliis oblongis vel ellipticis cuspidato-acuminatis 
obtusis basi acutis interdum vix rotundatis glaberrimis, venis infra 
prominentibus secundariis paucis in arcubus gracilibus a margine 
distantibus anastomosantibus, petiolo brevi validiusculo ; floribus 
alaribus solitariis, alabastris longis tenuissimis; calycis segmentis 
late ovatis dorso carinatis obtusis ciliolatis aliter glaberrimis ; 
corollae tubo gracillimo infra lobos glabros obtusos lineares quam 
tubus multo minores ampliato intus infra stamina sparse piloso ; 
antheris lanceolatis ; ovario styloque incluso villosis. 
Oban ; 1443. 
Leaves 7-11 em. long, 4:5-5:5 cm. broad, with acumen about 
1 em. long, 2:5 mm. broad; 4-5 prominent secondary veins on 
either side of the midrib as viewed from below; above, these veins 
are much less well-defined and, like the midrib, depressed; petiole 
up to 1 cm. long. Corolla-tube 2*5 cm. long, and scarcely more than 
1:5 mm. broad in the upper dilated part; lobes 175 cm. long at most. 
Anthers 1: 5 mm. long. : 
Nearly related to C. congolensis Stapf, but differs in the longer 
and broader leaf-acumen with obtuse apex, and in the longer and 
more slender flowers with relatively shorter lobes. | 
Carpodinus Talbotii Wernham sp. nov. Frutex scandens 
glaberrimus ramulis gracilibus basi tumidis; foliis ellipticis basi 
rotundatis abrupte acuminatis apice obtusissimo breviter petio- 
latis, venis secundariis horizontalibus demum curvatis ascenden- 
tibus infra marginem in arcubus latis anastomosantibus distantibus 
ut vena media supra parum conspicuis impressis canaliculatis 
infra prominentibus, reticulo tertio plerumque horizontale nervis 
paucis; floribus glabris subsessilibus alabastris inter longissimos 
in cymas axillares paucifloras sessiles aggregatis ; calycis 
segmentis oblongo-ovatis obtusis margine minutissime ciliato- 
pubescentibus; corollae tubo gracili infra lobos lineares tubum 
subaequantes ampliato.
