= Monotes magnificus Gilg var. eupilosus Duvigneaud (1949: 54) View in CoL . Type as for Monotes magnificus Gilg. View in CoL

Leaf blade 25–45 × 17–30 cm; fruit 20–35 mm in diameter, its wings 8–11 cm long.

Illustrations: — Figs. 3R View FIGURE 3 , 4Q View FIGURE 4 .

Distribution in D.R. Congo: —Upper Katanga.

Distribution elsewhere: — Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia.

Habitat and ecology: —Wooded savannah, scrub, steppic savannah, often at the periphery of mineralised clearings.

Vernacular names: —Kimpampa (Kibemba).

Other representative specimens examined:—D.R. CONGO. Upper Katanga: Mitwaba , route entre Mitwaba et Kiubo, 26 km au sud du poste, steppe sec très arbustive à Uapaca robynsii sur 70 cm de limon ocre sur grenaille latéritique, 11 September 1956, Duvigneaud & Timperman 2731M2 ( BRLU!) ; Mitwaba , steppe arbustif sur sol riche en étain, 1 July 1957, Duvigneaud 3799M3 ( BRLU!) ; Kakanda , signal I, bosquet de pente à Uapaca robynsii sur sol légèrement cuprifère, 29 November 1959, Duvigneaud 4826M ( BRLU!) ; Shinkolobwe , dembo arbustif dans plaine latéritique, 23 December 1959, Duvigneaud 4752M ( BRLU!) ; Kakanda , écotone entre gisements de pente et forêt claire, 29 December 1959, Duvigneaud 4828M ( BRLU!) ; 50 km S Mitwaba , steppe arbustif à Uapaca robynsii , 17 January 1960, Duvigneaud 5099 ( BRLU!) ; Kisomona , in bush, 10 March 1908, Kassner 2559 (K!) ; Kabambare- Kapuku , forêt claire, 27 September 1952, Symoens 869 ( BRLU!) .

Discussion: — Malaisse 16362 (BR!) is intermediate between M. magnificus and M. adenophyllus . Duvigneaud 4828M has deeply emarginated leaves (like M. autennei ), but all the other traits are typical. Duvigneaud 3206M (BRLU!) is an example of intermediate specimen between var. magnificus and var. gigantophyllus .
