I have not seen the fiuit of this species, but only seeds and a branch with a 

 fruit-stalk. Pierre i)laccd it, like C. Klainei, in his section Commidodia. It 

 differs from C. Klainei in the leaves and flowers, as well as (accordiug to PieiTe) in 

 the fruit. 



12. C. landolphioides, Stapf. A tall powerful climber with long 

 robust hook-branched tendrils from the branch-forks, glabrous except 

 the inflorescences. Flowering branches rather robust, brown, dotted 

 with numerous whitish lenticels. Leaves oblong, more or less abruptly 

 acuminate (acumen obtuse, often very short), subacute or rounded at 

 the base, 5-6 in. long, 2-2J in. broad, thinly coriaceous, fuscous and 

 somewhat glossy when dry ; midrib narrowly channelled above, 

 prominent below ; secondary nerves slender, about 9 on each side, 

 obliquely spreading, straight or very slightly curved, connected (2 lin. 

 within the margin) by rather bold zig-zag arches, finely channelled 

 above, raised below, reticulation loose, slightly raised below ; petiole 4- 

 5 lin. long. Cymes axillary and terminal, subsessile or very shortly 

 peduncled, contracted, few- to many-flowered, rusty-puberulous, or 

 gathered into short terminal panicles ; bracts ovate, broad, obtuse ; 

 pedicels very short, rather stout. Calyx Ij lin. long; sepals very 

 broad, ovate to rotundate, obtuse, minutely puberulous, ciliolate. 

 Corolla glabrous, 10-12 lin. long in bud; tube cylindric, slightly 

 widened from the middle upwards, 5-6 lin. long ; lobes linear-oblong, 

 obtuse, about 5 lin. long. Stamens inserted in the upper third of the 

 tube ; anthers linear, acute, 1 lin. long. Ovary turbinate, puberulous 

 at the top ; style filiform, glabrous, 2J lin. long ; stigma deeply bifid.

Upper Guinea. Cameroons : Buea, Deistel, 556 ! 



Lehrabacb's 34, from Buea, quoted by Hallier under C. landolphioides, may be 

 correctly referred here, but consists only of barren shoots. 



13. C violacea, K. Schum. ex Hallier f. Kautschuklianen in 

 Jahrb. Hamburg. Wissensch. Anstalt. xvii. (1899), 3. Beih. 112. A 

 climbing shrub, quite glabrous except the inflorescences ; tendrils 

 unknown ; young branches brown or greyish, dotted with lenticels.
