12-15 on each side, subhorizontal, very slender, slightly raised on both 

 sides, connecting arches close to the margin ; reticulation faint ; petiole 

 slender, 1J-2J lin. long. Cymes shortly peduncled, few-flowered, 

 glabrous or scantily pubescent, axillary, often terminating short small- 

 leaved branchlets ; peduncles slender, 1-2 lin. long ; bracts oblong, 

 obtuse, up to 1^ lin. long ; pedicels up to 1 J lin. long. Calyx glaucous, 

 scarcely 1 lin. long ; sepals ovate, obtuse to subacute, ciliolate, margins 

 very thin. Corolla glabrous without, 8 lin. longjn bud ; tube widened 

 close to the base, cylindric upwards, 4-5 lin. long, hairy within ; lobes 

 linear-oblong, obtuse, as long as the tube or slightly longer. Stamens 

 inserted about 1 lin. above the base ; filaments very short ; anthers 

 oblong, apiculatc, scarcely 1 lin. long. Ovary depressed-globose, 

 densely covered with stiff whitish hairs ; style glabrous, including the 

 stigma J lin. long ; stigma capitate, with a distinct annular thickening

T^e specimen quoted by Hallier, I.e., from Mossamedes [Moller !) is certainly 

 distinct from C. henriquesiana, and identical with an imperfectly known new species, 

 distributed from Berlin as Carpodinus chylorrhiza, K. Schum. see p. 58. C. henri- 

 quesiana is statad to be one of the sources'of the so-called root-rubber. 



2. C. parvifolia, Stapf. A climbing shrub ; young branches 

 slender, glabrous, dark brown, with whitish lenticels. Leaves elliptic to 

 elliptic-oblong, abruptly and obtusely acuminate, rounded or subacute at 

 the base, 2J-3J in. long, 1J-1| in. broad, thinly coriaceous, quite 

 glabrous, slightly shining above ; midrib flat above, distinctly raised 

 below ; secondary nerves rather spreading, almost straight, slender, 8-9 

 on each side, raised below, connected by bold but very fine arches some- 

 what remote from the margins ; veins lax, very obscure ; petiole 3-4 lin. 

 long. Flowers sessile in small sessile axillary and terminal (pseudo- 

 terminal?) clusters. Calyx glabrous, J lin. long; sepals very minutely 

 ciliolate. Corolla glabrous without, not quite 3 lin. long in bud ; tube 

 cylindric from the base to just beyond the middle, then more or less in- 

 flated, constricted again at the mouth, slightly over Ih lin. long, pubescent 

 within near the insertion of the stamens ; lobes oblong, obtuse, slightly 

 over 1 lin. long. Filaments very slender, short ; anthers reaching 

 almost to the narrow mouth, ovate-obiong, apiculate. Ovary ovoid, 

 puberulous in the upper part, passing into the slender style ; stigma sub- 

 subulate from a thickened base, 2-fid ; the whole pistil 1 lin. long. Fruit 

 unknown. — Cylindropsis parvifolia, Pierre in Bull. Soc. Linn, Paris,
