Coccinia ecirrhosa Type: Somalia. Abdallah, 1891, C. Keller 106 [sphalm. 116 in l.c.] (Type: BR! [BR0000008885999, digital image: BR, JPS], Z! [Z-000004442, digital image: Z, K neg. 4832]).

Remarks.

The type does not contain much material, but the lower surface of a leaf shows a pinnatifid venation pattern, which is unknown in Coccinia . Jeffrey (1967) transferred it correctly ( Kocyan et al. 2007) to another genus, namely Cephalopentandra .
