03BF7910FFA1FFCEE43D0FA0523DFD42.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This new, monotypic genus is named after the unique trumpet-shaped organs in the inflorescence. It is derived from the Greek word σαλπΙΓξ (salpinx) having salping- as genitive stem. So Salpingifera means trumpet-bearing. Salpingifera has the female gender. Type: Lindackeria ngounyensis Pellegr. Shrub. Leaves alternate, stipulate, penninerved, margin dentate. Inflorescence axillary, racemose compound of dichasia (thyrse) reduced to a single flower flanked by pedicels bearing trumpet-shaped glands. Flowers actinomorphic, staminate or bisexual / pistillate? Sepals 4, free, imbricate. Petals 8 – 10, free, imbricate. Stamens free, many, with long anthers opening by 2 lengthwise slits. Ovary superior, unilocular, with 5 parietal, multiovulate placentas. Fruit smooth, leathery, indehiscent, a carcerulus. Seeds many, with complete fleshy seed coat. Embryo small, embedded in copious endosperm. Distribution — Monotypic, endemic to Gabon.	en	Breteler, F.

Notes — Judged by several field notes that describe both staminate flowers and (young) fruits, it seems staminate and pistillate or bisexual flowers may be present on the same individual. However, all the sheets we saw bear either staminate flowers or fruits. Since it is not 100 % sure the field notes are based on single individuals we cannot be sure the species is monoecious or dioecious. We have only studied staminate flowers. Therefore we do not know whether fruits develop from bisexual or from pistillate flowers. Likely, when the species is dioecious, pistillate plants flower less abundantly and / or less frequently than staminate plants and are less likely to be collected by botanists.	en	Breteler, F.
