Jasminum | LXXX. OLEACES. 655 
Punco ANDONGO.—A shrub, climbing high and very widely ; leaves 
subcoriaceous, but little shining; flowers very agreeably fragrant, 
white, present during nearly the whole year ; corolla-limb 7- to 9-cleft. 
In wooded rocky thickets at the outskirts of forests near the pra- 
sidium ; fl. middle of Dec. 1856. No. 927. 
The distinction between the two species here brought together, 
which is alleged to exist in the comparative length of the calyx-tube 
with its lobes, does not always hold good. Both are very closely 
related to J. pauciflorum Benth. in Hook. Niger Fl. p. 443 (1849), 
perhaps too closely for specific separation. 
4. J. longipes Baker, J.c. (longpipes). 
Gotunco Axro.—A slender shrub, climbing widely, with long 
sarmentose branches; flowers slightly fragrant, red-purple outside, 
milkwhite inside ; in bushy places at the outskirts of the primitive 
forests of Alto Queta, about Sange, plentiful: fl. end of Dec. 1855. 
A shrublet with subscandent sarmentose branches and flowers (judging 
from the buds) apparently whitish ; in Sobato de Bumba at the river 
Cate, only one specimen, in unopened fl. Dec. 1854. No. 925. 
5. J. angolense Welw. ex Baker, /.c., p. 95. 
Loanpa.—A shrub, 2 to 3 ft. high, altogether erect (or in one case 
only a sarmentose branch was seen), with numerous stems much 
branched from a woody rootstock ; very beautiful by reason of the 
plentiful two-coloured flowers; leaves simple, thinly fleshy, scarcely 
coriaceous, bright and deep green ; flowers comparatively large, very 
crowded ; corolla milkwhite inside, purplish or usually deep purple 
outside. On sandy rather dry hilly spaces by scattered bushes of 
Merua angolensis DC. above Loanda, not seen elsewhere, plentiful ; 
fl. and fr. Feb. and April 1854. No. 924. An erect shrub, 3 to 4 ft. 
high ; branches twisted ; flowers scarcely at all fragrant, violet-red 
outside, snow-white inside ; style elongated, with an oblong somewhat 
bilobed stigma. In bushy places; fl. Nov. 1853 and March 1854. A

J. tettense Klotzsch in Peters, Mossamb. Bot. (i.), p. 284 (1861) ; 
Henriques, Bol. Soc. Brot. x. p. 1389 (1892). 
Loanpa.—A high-climbing shrub ; leaves compound ; veins of the 
leaflets constantly bearded in their lower axils ; flowers very fragrant, 
with the aroma nearly of J. Sambac Ait. In thickets and in plantations 
of Adansonia digitata B. Juss., tolerably frequent but not penetrating 
into the interior of the country ; fl. and fr. from Feb. to May 1854.
