Names
LEPTAULUS daphnoides Benth. [family ICACINACEAE], l.c.
Information
A perfectly glabrous shrub, attaining 12 ft.; extremities terete. Leaves petiolate, penniveined, rather coriaceous, oblong-elliptical, shortly acuminate, cuneate at the base, 3 1/2–11 in. long, 1 3/4–4 in. broad; petiole 1/4– 1/2 in. Flowers 1/3– 1/2 in. long, slender; pedicels equalling or slightly exceeding the calyx or flowers nearly sessile, collected in sessile or very shortly pedunculate, many-flowered, extra-axillary cymes. Calyx deeply 5-lobed, many times shorter than the corolla. Fruit more or less pointed, 1–1 1/2 in. long, with the persistent unchanged calyx.
Distribution
Upper Guinea Bagroo and Kongui rivers, Mann!
Notes
The Kongui specimens have leaves three times as large as those of the Bagroo plant and the flowers subsessile, but I cannot distinguish them specifically.
