Sabicea amomii

Sabicea amomii is a species of woodvine in the family Rubiaceae, which is native to Cameroon.

[1] Wernham describes the vine as being close to S. venosa, but differing in its leaf-venation, its inflorescence and its longer calyx lobes.

The calyx lobes are up to 5 mm long, and the ovary is slightly greater than 1 mm in depth.

[2] The type specimen, BM000820046 (collected by George Latimer Bates at Bitye in the Yaoundé district), is annotated as having been found climbing in Amomum-thicket by a stream within a forest (thereby giving rise to the species epithet, amomii) and having a dark-greenish-purple corolla.
