CLITANDRA sclerophylla K. Schum. [family APOCYNACEAE], MS.
Information
Leaves more coriaceous, with slightly revolute margins and no distinct outer marginal nerve. Flowers larger; corolla-tube 6–7 lin. long; lobes 4 1/2–5 lin. long. Ovary gradually passing into the style.
Distribution
Cameroons Upper Guinea Batanga, in forests, Dinklage, 840! 1161!
Notes
Hallier describes the fruit (which I have not seen) of Dinklage, 1161, as globose, over 2 in. in diam., dotted with minute warts, with a hard pericarp and numerous seeds up to 8 1/2 lin. long. There is also, apart from the differences mentioned above, a difference in the facies of this variety, suggesting a more than varietal rank.
