Names
GABUNIA glandulosa Stapf [family APOCYNACEAE]
Information
A climbing shrub, quite glabrous; branches rather slender, fistular, olive-green. Leaves oblong, long and acutely acuminate, acute or sometimes obtuse at the base, 4–5 1/2 in. long, 1 1/2–2 1/4 in. broad, chartaceous, olive-green when dry; secondary nerves about 7 on each side, strongly curved, slender; petiole 2 1/2–4 lin. long, rather slender. Inflorescences corymbiform, dense, about 10-flowered; peduncle very short; pedicels up to 3 lin. long. Calyx 1 1/2–2 lin. long; sepals ovate to elliptic-oblong, obtuse or subobtuse, somewhat pruinose with a few small glands inside the base. Corolla-tube 1 3/4–2 1/4 in. long, widened and twisted at the base, scantily hairy within above the anthers; lobes very oblique, lanceolate, long tapering, over 1 in. long. Anthers almost 3 lin. long. Style 3/4 lin. long.
Distribution
Sierra Leone Upper Guinea near Regent, Scott-Elliot, 5821!Liberia Upper Guinea near Monrovia, Whyte! Sinou basin, Whyte, 6!
Notes
To this species belong probably also specimens collected on the Aburi Hills by Johnson (477!), and near Kwahu, Johnson (669!), Gold Coast Colony. Both have intracalycular glands, and the first agrees with the Sierra Leone specimens in all respects except the much reduced inflorescence, slightly smaller calyx-segments and thinner dark green leaves; the other has, however, comparatively broad leaves with short subobtuse tips, petioles up to 7 1/2 lin. long and still smaller calyx-segments.
