Very near to C. hirsuta, Hua, differing from it somewhat in the sliape of the 

 leaves, but particularly in the shape of the sepals and coroHa-lobes. 



18. Carpodinus turbinata, Stajjf. Add : De Wild, k Centil, 

 Lian. Caoutch. Congo, 102, tt. 18-19, figs. 1-3. Common in the

 a truncate base, obtuse, emitting a resinous odour when cut, golden- 

 yellow when mature, smooth, over -k in. long, 2i- in. across ; seeds 4-4U, 

 about 10 lin. long, embedded in white pulp. — De Wild, it Gentil, Lian.

Common in all the plains and in the clearings of the equatorial forests of 

 eastern part of the Congo Free State and in French Congo. 



Dewevre's statement that C. lanceolafa assumes sometimes a climbing habit is, 

 according to the accounts of more recent travellers and collectors, erroneous. Inves- 

 tigations made recently by Schlechter and others into the value of the latex have 

 demonstrated its \vorthles3nes3 for caoutchouc production.
