A coast liane, with magnificent red flowers in huge interrupted in-

In the absence of leaves and fruit, determination must be uncertain ; but 

 in the shape and size of calyx, approximate measurements, and form of floral 

 parts, with the number of ovules (5), my plant agrees with M. Kraetkei Warb. 

 Warburg does not describe the inflorescence, beyond stating that it occurs 

 often on the old wood ; in that case bunches of shortish racemes, 5-17 dm. 

 long, spring irregularly from the old wood, which is lenticellose. When 

 the inflorescence is on young wood the recemes are long and single, as in 

 Versteeg's 403 Herb. Kew.
