K. Scheffleri was compared by K. Schumann ve Funtumia 
latifolia, from which he stated it differed in having smaller, 
minutely pepe es and a somewhat ifieons disc. The 
differences in the disc, I cannot find them. K. congolana was 
placed close to K. Scheffleri by De Wildewan and described as a 
distinct species ma inly on acceunt of its distribution, whilst it 
Was separated from F. /atifolia for its more or less velvety 
corollas, those of F. cb being described “a glabrous by 
De Wildeman. I hav e, however, pointed out in my original 
description of F. latifolia, that the corolla is ‘very minutely 
pubescent without. 
This species, like F. africana, does not seem to yield any 
serviceable rubber
