Tabernæmontana crassa Benth. [family ], in Hook. Niger Fl. 447; K. Schum. in Engl. & Prantl, Pflanzenfam. iv. ii. 148.
Information
A small tree or shrub; branches terete, very stout. Leaves elliptic or oblong, very shortly acuminate or apiculate, acute or rounded at the base, 6–7 (rarely to 9) in. long, 3–4 1/2 in. broad, subcoriaceous; secondary nerves about 6–8 on each side; petiole very stout, 3–6 lin. long. Inflorescences corymbose, rather contracted, 12–15-flowered; peduncle stout, 2–4 in. long; pedicels 2–3 lin. long. Calyx 1 1/4–1 1/2 lin. long; sepals broad-ovate, obtuse, not ciliolate. Corolla white; tube about 1 in. long, wide in the lower part, contracted just above the middle, then rather slender, glabrous within above the anthers, with tomentose lines near the base. Stamens inserted about 5 lin. above the base of the corolla-tube; anthers 5 lin. long. Style 2 lin. long; stigma long cylindric, grooved, with a wavy membranous ring at the base. Berries subglobose. Seeds numerous, embedded in a pulp.
Distribution
Liberia Upper Guinea Sinou Basin, Whyte, 19! Grand Bassa, Vogel, 21! Dinklage, 1434!
Notes
There is little doubt that (as Bentham, l.c., has already suggested) the plant mentioned in Vogel's Journal (in Hook. London Journ. Bot. v. 634) as “a genus apparently new and near Tabernæmontana, remarkable for its double fruit, as large as a child's head, the seeds nestling in the almost woody pulp,” is this species. See also the under C. pachysiphon .
