Coccinia gabonensis Keraudren, Adansonia 8: 40. 1968.

Coccinia gabonensis Type: Gabon. Ogooué-Ivindo: Bélinga, 950-1000 m, male and female, fl, Nov 1964, N. Hallé 3018 (Holotype: P [P00348266, digital image: JPS, P], isotypes: P! [P00348264, digital image: JPS, P], P! [P00348265, digital image: JPS, P], K! [K000313237, digital image: JPS, K]).

Remarks.

This species does certainly not belong to Coccinia . It is monoecious, has free petals, and rather large bracts, in contrast to the dioecious, sympetalous Coccinia species with much smaller bracts. It rather belongs to Momordica .
