Coccinia polyantha Type: Tanzania. Lindi: Kilwa district, near Mariwe, upon low shrub, in light, slightly wet ground pori, fl, Dec, W. Busse 512 (Syntype: B destroyed, isosyntype: EA [EA000002139, digital image: JPS]).

Remarks.

The seeds are described as globose to subglobose, but Coccinia seeds are rather flat. It is therefore unlikely that this species belongs to Coccinia . Jeffrey (1967) synonymized this species with Eureiandra fasciculata (Cogn.) C.Jeffrey.
