J. de Wilde	<div><p>KEY TO ACCOMMODATE ANTHOCLEISTA POTALIOIDES AMONG ITS CONTINENTAL CONGENERS</p><p>The new taxon can be included in Leeuwenberg’s (1961) key to the species of African Anthocleista by changing the second couplet and by inserting an additional couplet 2bis. The key then runs as follows:</p><p>1. Sepals acuminate and keeled. Equatorial Guinea ...................................... A. laxiflora</p><p>1. Sepals rounded, not keeled.................... 2</p><p>2. Corolla violet or violet-blue; lobes in mature corolla bud broadly overlapping. — Madagascar ............. 3</p><p>2. Corolla creamy or white; lobes in mature corolla bud narrowly overlapping. — African continent and Comores, not on Madagascar ........................ 2bis</p><p>2bis. Total length of corolla up to 15 mm long A. potalioides</p><p>2bis. Corolla larger, usually more than 25 mm long...... 5</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A6AE23154C744DFCB5A0E58B93C6A8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Leaves not crowded at the apex of the twigs, those of a pair subequal, sessile; blade thick leathery, soft, in vivo bright green above, much paler green, almost whitish beneath, obovate, 26– 35 by 11–15 cm; apex shortly acuminate to apiculate; lower part of the blade attenuate, the base auriculate, amplexicaul; margin entire, narrowly revolute; costa shallowly impressed above, very prominent and acutely triangular beneath, in sicco dark brown, contrasting with the pale lamina; main secondary nerves 9 –12 on either side, (sub)opposite or not, arcuate to almost straight in the lower part of the blade, distinct especially on lower surface; tertiary venation inconspicuous. Inflorescences terminal, more or less erect, dichasial, usually 5 × branched and with many opened flowers at a time, 15– 20 cm long, up to 25 cm wide, usually broader than long; branches straight, those of the first order elongated, 5.5– 9 cm long, branches of higher order becoming shorter, all branches and also the pedicels very gradually thickening upwards; lower bracts sometimes markedly leafy, oblong, up to 10 by 4 cm, bracts of higher orders much smaller, broadly triangular to ovate, c. 2 by 1.8 mm. Flowers subtended by a pair of bracteoles, in shape and dimensions comparable to the higher bracts. Sepals 4, green, paler at edge, connate at the base, concave, decussate, the 2 outer ones oblong to obovate, obtuse at the apex, 6–7 by 3– 4.5 mm, the inner ones slightly smaller, c. 5.5 by 3.5 mm. Corolla actinomorphic, tubular, 8-, exceptionally 7-merous, in bud tapering towards the apex; at anthesis pale yellowish green to white; the tube cylindrical, slightly widened towards the throat, 6 –8 mm long, 3 – 4 mm wide at the base and 4– 5 mm where the lobes become free at the throat; lobes (7–)8, contorted and narrowly overlapping in bud, reflexed at anthesis, narrowly ovate to elliptic, 6 –7 by 1.8 – 2 mm. Stamens (7–)8, alternating with the corolla lobes, exserted from the corolla mouth; the filaments short and completely connate into a c. 1 mm long tube inserted near the apex of the corolla tube; anthers exposed, narrowly oblong, c. 2 by 0.8 mm, blunt at apex, devoid of a sterile apical appendage, shortly sagittate at the base, the 2 cells parallel, only divergent at the base, each cell longitudinally dehiscent by a split. Gynoecium cream, bicarpellate; ovary obovoid-cylindrical, 3 –4 by 1–1.5 mm, narrowing towards the base and sitting on a longitudinally shallowly grooved c. 1 mm long massive gynophore, 2-celled; placentation axile with in each cell from the centre of the septum a bilobed placenta with the lobes inrolled and multi-ovulate; style 4–7 mm long, filiform; stigma capitate, globose, shallowly bilobed at apex, c. 1–1.5 mm diam. Fruit not known.</p><p>Distribution — Only known from the Chaillu Massif in southern Gabon.</p><p>Habitat &amp; Ecology — The type specimen was found growing in half-shade, on a large decaying log jammed among boulders in a fast streaming rather narrow creek in closed high forest. The collector expressed the possibility of an epiphytic origin. Also reported from marshland along small river. Altitude 450 m. Flowering: February.</p><p>Additional material.
