15. Monotes View in CoL “ near redheadii ”
Young twigs densely tomentose. Leaf: petiole 7–10 mm long, 1–1.5 mm in diameter; blade narrowly elliptic, 4–8.5 × 1.5–3.6 cm, cuneate to rounded at base, acute to rounded at apex; secondary nerves in ca. 10–14 pairs, frequently with subsidiaries, straight, looping just before margin; upper surface reticulate, subglabrous; basal gland longer than wide; lower surface with reticulum araneose-tomentose, areoles glabrous, costa and nerves densely tomentose.
Distribution: —Upper Katanga.
Habitat and ecology: —Miombo woodland.
Specimens examined:—D.R. CONGO. Upper Katanga: Forêt claire, plateau des Kundelungu , 1550 m, 27 October 1969, Lisowski, Malaisse & Symoens 7578 ( LSHI!) ; 23 km WNW du poste de Lualaba (Kundelungu), bord d’un petit torrent au-dessus de l’escarpement rocheux, 1 km à droite de la chute de Kaloba, 7 January 1970, Lisowski, Malaisse & Symoens 9242 ( LSHI!, POZG!) .
Discussion: — Both collections perfectly match the type of Monotes redheadii Duvigneaud (1959: 101) , a species known from Zambia and Angola, except for the glabrous upper surface of leaf; Lisowski, Malaisse & Symoens 8940 (POZG!) is glabrous on both surfaces.
