APOCYNACEiE (H. F. Wemhaiu) 61 



secundariis pro rata distantibus ; cymis densiusculis sessilibus 

 alaribus ; florihus inter parvos, bracteis miautis deltoideis ut 

 calycis brevis dentes scariosis ; corollae tubo pro rata valido 

 supra medium constricto deinde infra lobes lanceolatos obtusos 

 ampliato ; ovario pubescente stylo filiformi, 



Oban ; n. 1039. 



Leaves 5-7 cm. long, with acumen 1-1 '5 cm. long, and 3-3 '5 cm. 

 wide. Cijmes rarely much more than 1 cm. broad. Flowers 5 mm. 

 long. Calyx about 1 mm. long. Corolla-tuhe 3-4 mm. ; lobes 

 1*5 mm. long. 



Near C. parvifolia Stapf, but differs chiefly in the calyx and pistil. 



Carpodinus oxyanthoides Wernham sp. nov. Frutex glaber, 

 cirrhis flagelliformibus scandens, ramulis cortice cinereo squamato 

 indutis gracilibus ; foliis oblongis vel ellipticis cuspidato-acuminatis 

 obtusis basi acutis interdum vix rotundatis glaberrimis, venis infra 

 prominentibus secundariis paucis in arcubus gracilibus a margins 

 distantibus anastomosantibus, petiolo brevi validiusculo ; florihus 

 alaribus solitariis, alabastris longis tenuissimis ; calycin segmentis 

 late ovatis dorso carinatis obtusis ciliolatis aliter glaberrimis ; 

 corollae tubo gracillimo infra lobos glabros obtusos lineares quam 

 tubus multo minores ampliato intus infra stamina sparse piloso ; 

 antlieris lanceolatis ; ovario styloque incluso villosis. 



Oban; 1443. 



Leaves 7-11 cm. long, 4" 5-5 '5 cm. broad, with acumen about 

 1 cm. long, 2 • 5 mm. broad ; 4-5 prominent secondary veins on 

 either side of the midrib as viewed from below ; above, these veins 

 are much less well-defined and, like the midrib, depressed ; petiole 

 up to 1 cm. long. Corolla-tube 2" 5 cm. long, and scarcely more than 

 1 • 5 mm. broad in the upper dilated part ; lobes 1 • 5 cm. long at most. 

 Anthers 1 " 5 mm. long. 



Nearly related to C. congolensis Stapf, but differs in the longer 

 and broader leaf-acumen with obtuse apex, and in the longer and 

 more slender flowers with relatively shorter lobes. \ 



Cappodinus Talbotii Wernham sp. nov. Frutex scandens 

 glaberrimus ramulis gracilibus basi tumidis ; foliis ellipticis basi 

 rotundatis abrupte acuminatis apice obtusissimo breviter petio- 

 latis, venis secundariis borizontalibus demum curvatis ascenden- 

 tibus infra marginem in arcubus latis anastomosantibus distantibus 

 ut vena media supra parum conspicuis impressis canaliculatis 

 infra prominentibus, reticulo tertio plerumque horizontals nervis 

 paucis ; florihus glabris subsessilibus alabastris inter longissimos 

 in cymas axillares paucifloras sessiles aggregatis ; calycis 

 segmentis oblongo-ovatis obtusis margine minutissime ciliato- 

 pubescentibus ; corollae tubo gracili infra lobos lineares tubum 

 subaequantes ampliato.
