Names
TABERNANTHE Mannii Stapf [family APOCYNACEAE]
TABERNANTHE Iboga Oliver [family APOCYNACEAE], in Hook. Ic. Pl. sub t. 2337 partly, not of Baillon.
Information
A small, glabrous shrub; branches very slender, greenish-brown, with scattered wart-like lenticels. Leaves oblong, long acuminate (acumen subobtuse, sublinear up to 9 lin. long), acute at the base, 3–5 1/2 in. long, 1 1/4–1 3/4 in. broad, herbaceous, thin; secondary nerves much spreading, curved, 10–11 on each side, very slender; transverse veins subhorizontal, faint; petiole 1/2–1 lin. long or hardly any. Inflorescences geminate from the branch-forks, few-flowered, umbelliform or subcorymbose, lax, shorter than the leaves, ebracteate; peduncles finely filiform, 1 1/2 in. long; pedicels very slender, 4 lin. long. Calyx 5-partite almost to the base, 1 lin. long; sepals ovate, acute, very minutely ciliolate, with 1–2 glands inside the base. Corolla-tube subcylindric, narrowed from the middle upwards, 3 1/2–4 lin. long; lobes rotundate-obovate, 2–2 1/2 lin. long. Stamens inserted at the middle. Anthers 1 1/4 lin. long. Style 1 1/2 lin. long.
Distribution
Lower Guinea Gaboon River, Mann, 943!
Notes
This comes near to T. Iboga, from which it differs somewhat in the shape and venation of the leaves and the larger flowers.
