Names
ANISOPUS bicoronata N. E. Br. [family ASCLEPIADACEAE]
Marsdenia bicoronata K. Schum. [family ASCLEPIADACEAE], in Engl. Jahrb. xxiii. 235.
Information
Stem climbing; branches slender, with a spreading pubescence on the youngest parts. Leaves spreading; petiole 2 1/2–7 lin. long; blade 3/4–3 in. long, 4 1/2–16 1/2 lin. broad, oblong, acute or somewhat obtuse, acute at the base, glabrous on both sides. Umbels 7–10-flowered; peduncles up to 4 1/2 lin. long, puberulous; pedicels 5–6 lin. long, filiform, glabrous; bracts minute, lanceolate, pilose. Sepals 1/2 lin. long, narrowly subulate, pilose. Corolla 2 lin. long; tube semiglobose; lobes spreading, ovate. Outer corona a membranous pubescent ring 1/4 lin. high, arising from the mouth of the corolla-tube; inner coronal-lobes 1/4 lin. long, arising near the apex of the stipitate staminal-column, tumescent, gibbous, with the apex narrowed and inflexed on the apex of the style. Staminal-column 1 1/4 lin. long.
Distribution
Upper Guinea Without locality, Afzelius.
Notes
I have not seen this plant and refer it to the genus Anisopus with some hesitation; but the situation of the outer corona at the mouth of the corolla-tube seems to indicate an alliance with that genus, and it may even be the same as A. Mannii, N. E. Br. A specimen (Staudt, 356) received from Berlin, under the name of Marsdenia bicoronata, K. Schum., does not agree with the description, and is A. Mannii .
