EPITABERNA, K. Schum. in Engl. Jahrb. xxxiii. 316. 



This was described as a new genus of Apocynacece, allied to Tabernce- 

 moniana, but differing in the perfectly inferior ovary and the diclinism 

 of the flowers. It belongs to Ruhiacece. The structure of the flower is 

 essentially that of Ileinsia, from which it difl'ers only in the bracteate, 

 obconic receptacle, the externally glabrous corolla-tube, tlie diclinism of 

 the flowers and to some extent in the habit. 



The only species is E. myrnuacia, K. Schuni., I.e. 317, collected in the Ganierouiis, 

 near IJipindc, Zenlcer, 2339 !
