Coccinia quercifolia Hutch. et E.A.Bruce, Bull. Misc. Inform. Kew 2: 99. 1941.
Coccinia quercifolia Type: Somalia. [Nugaal]: Boundary Pillar 93, 45°9'E, 8°37'N, 990 m, fl, 6 Oct, J.B. Gillett 4194 (Holotype: K! [K000313174, digital image: JPS, K], K! [K000313174, digital image: JPS, K]).
Coccinia quercifolia Type: Ethiopia. [Somali Region]: Harradigit [c. 7°45'N, 45°30'E], Apr, F.L. James & J.G. Thrupp no.? (Paratype: K?).
Remarks.
The leaves have a pinnatifid venation, just like Cephalopentandra (Coccinia) ecirrhosa , but are deeply lobed. Since the leaf form may vary in Cucurbitaceae , it is likely that these specimens belong together, so that the odd leaf venation excludes this type from Coccinia . Jeffrey already synonymized this name with Coccinia ecirrhosa .
