C. campanulata, K. Schum. Shrub, with sessile oblong to obovate-oblong acute leaves, narrowed to the base, 5-7 c.m. long, 2-3 c.m. wide, shortly auriculatc. Flower 
small, in few-flowered pubescent panicles. Mozambique. 
184. CONOPHARYNGIA. Shrubs or trees, having milky juice, divaricate branches, opposite, petioled simple leaves, connate stipules forming a ring, terminal or pseudo- 
axillary, corymbose, cymose or panicled inflorescence, and fragrant white flowers, with almost free calyx-lobes, salver-shaped corolla, and fruit of 2 divaricate 
sub-globose, sometimes angled and warted very milky mericarps containing several or numerous round or irregularly-shaped seeds. 
C. ventricosa, Stapf. ( = Tabernaemontana ventricosa, Hochst.) Vern. name— 4-13, Um-hlamba-maas. Tree 3-12 c.m. high, with glabrous, dark-green, shining, oblong- 
acute, entire, thinly coriaceous leaves 10-15 c.m. long, 5 c m - wide, with a short petiole clasping the stem at the base. Inflorescence terminal, cymose, rather few- 
flowered. Calyx open, with rounded nearly free lobes, each having a gland at its base. Corolla white, scented, 1-5 c.m. long, 2 5 c.m. across, with the stamens 
inserted at the swelling near the base of the tube. Ovary apparently single with 1 central style, the ovary afterwards opening into 2 divergent fleshy rounded smooth 
green follicles 4 c.m. long and wide, containing many albuminous seeds bedded in pulp. Juice of the stem and especially of the fruit milky, coagulating into rubber; 
used by boys as bird-lime. Maputa in swamps ; also Natal and Pondoland. For illustration see “ Forest Flora of Cape Colony,” p. 271, Plate CLV. fig. 3. 
C. elegans, Stapf. Vern. names— 4-8, Kahlu ; and 4, In-kasi-chonga. Fruit known as Kahlwana. A glabrous shrub 2-4 metres high, dichotomously branched, with 
narrowly oblong leaves 10-20 c.m. long, 4-6 c.m. wide, rounded at both ends or tapering to and acute at both ends ; side veins distinct, numerous, sub-parallel but 
irregular, pale on the under surface ; inflorescence cymosely-paniculate, pseudo-terminal, many-flowered, 7-8 c.m. across ; flower small, white ; sepals almost free ; 
corolla-tube 6-8 m.m. long, limb 6 m.m. across. Follicles divergent, 5 c.m. long, 4 c.m. deep, pointed, flattened above, with side ridges, and roughly warty. Leaves 
very small on fruiting branches as compared with those on vigorous branches. Fruits exceedingly milky and produced in great abundance ; might be collected and 
the milk bled at a central factory if its rubber value is sufficiently high. Very abundant around Lourenzo Marques and throughout the M’Chopes, usually on sandy 
soil ; present also throughout the Province.

185. VOACANGA. Trees or shrubs, with milky juice, dichotomous branches, opposite glabrous somewhat sheathing simple entire leaves, few-flowered usually cymose 
inflorescence, and baccate, divergent, somewhat globose, beaked, many-seeded follicles, with rounded or irregular seeds bedded in pulp. Calyx 5 lobed, splitting off. 
V. Thouarsii, Roem. & Sch. Vern. names — 6, Kahlu-ma-chonga ; 7, 8, M’geni ; 10, Raka-raka, or i-raga-raga. A tree 12-15 metres high, with clean, fairly straight stem, 
growing in stagnant swamps, and usually crowded or gregarious. Leaves elliptical, narrowed to the short petiole, rounded at the apex, 10-15 c.m. long, 4-5 c.m. 
wide, with 10-12 lateral veins on each side. Cyme stout, about 3-flowered ; peduncle 1 c.m. long ; calyx 1 c.m. long, truncate, succulent, green ; corolla rotate, 
5 cm. across, creamy-white, with 5-obcordate segments and an objectionable smell. Stamens 5, hastate, sessile, 5 m.m. long, set in the throat of the corolla and 
meeting over the clavate stigma. Fruit of 2 globose dehiscent follicles, each 5 c.m. diameter, with a smooth green skin spotted white and containing many com- 
pressed seeds 6-8 m.m. long. Swamps in M’Chopes, Inhambane, Magenja da Costa, and Nhamacurra. Occurs also in Natal, German East Afr.ca and Madagascar.

V. lutescens, Stapf. A shrub, having sessile, elliptic or elliptic-oblong, acute or somewhat acuminate leaves 10-20 c.m. long, 5-10 c.m. wide, somewhat pubescent below. 
Inflorescence dichotomously corymbose, many-flowered, more or less pubescent. Corolla greenish-yellow, tube 1 c.m. long, tomentose, limb rotate, 3 c.m. across. 
Fruits ovoid-globose, oblique, 5 c.m. long, mottled. Lower Zambesi. Shire, &c. 
Another species of Voacanga or Conopharyngia occurs in Magenja da Costa, known as, 10, Moorangaranga, having sessile leaves 20-30 c.m. long, 10-12 c.m. 
wide, the blades of opposite leaves connate round the stem, and large fruits like those of C. elegans. 
Another species, probably belonging also to one of these genera, occurs near Manjaeaze, Gaza, as a bush 1-2 metres high, with lanceolate petiolate leaves 
5-7 c.m. long, 1-2 c.m. wide, and is known there as N kahlu -chonga.
