GoLungo ALTo.—An evergreen shrub, 2 to 3 ft. high ; leaves glossy 
above ; flowers white, dimorphic ; corolla-lobes valvate in the bud, 
induplicate at the apex, with little horns proceeding from their folds. 
In dense mountainous forests, especially by streams near Fonte de 
Capopa, about Sange ; fl.1 Dec. 1854. No. 3204. A shrub of 2 to 
4 ft.; branches rather erect, the fresh branchlets marked with two 
longitudinal lines of hairs and a little compressed below the inter- 
nodes ; leaves subcoriaceous, black-green and very glossy above, pallid 
beneath ; corolla white, pentamerous, tubular; the limb 5-cleft, 
recurved-spreading at the time of full flower ; the throat bearded ; 
stamens 5, inserted at the throat, exserted; filaments bearded at 
the base ; anthers cordate, white, introrsely 2-celled, longitudinally 
dehiscing ; ovary three-quarters covered by the quinquedentate calyx ; 
style filiform, bilobed at the apex ; the lobes more or less spathulate, 
rather thick, stigmatose inside, sub-exserted. On slopes at the out- 
skirts of forests on the lefti bank of the river Cuango; fl. 5 June 1855. 
No. 3205. A form with denser inflorescence. No. 3205. A shrub, 
13 to 2 ft. high ; branches bent, very slender; berries red-vermilion, 
2-seeded ; seeds depresso-hemispherical. In dense forests among the 
mountains of Queta as far as Ondéla, sporadic ; fr. June 1855. No. 3206.

Punco Anponco.—A climbing shrub; leaves coriaceous, deep- 
green, paler beneath ; corolla from whitish to flesh-colour, with a 
curved tube ; stamens placed together in one part of the corolla-tube 
during the time of full flower, the opposite part of the tube being 
occupied solely by the style. By rocky thickets in the fortress, 
rather rare ; fl., middle of Nov. 1856. No. 3198. A widely scandent 
shrub, with purple flowers. By thickets on the western side of the 
presidium ; f. Jan. 1857. No. 3199. 
This species is dimorphic, the anthers being only half exserted with 
the style long and exserted in the first No., and the anthers wholly 
exserted with the style short and included in the second No.; it is 
referred with some doubt to the name above, which belongs to a 
Gaboon plant collected by Soyaux, n. 212; I have not seen a type 
specimen of it ; our specimens agree fairly well with the description 
as quoted, but the leaves do not exceed 5 in. long by 2} in. broad, 
the petioles range only up to # in. long, and the absence of fruit. 
renders it impossible to compare the size of the disk at the apex.
