This and tlio next s[)Ocios nvo cliaracterl.sc^d by the very lon*i' and slender 

 p(Mlic(ds, and rather small leaves. A description of tJic fruit may be added 

 to the account in the Fl. Trop. Ah\ : —

Closely related to D. awjolensU^ but <liffering in the shape of the leaves, 

 ^vluch are broad(*r and gfMierally broadest above the middlt^, rounded at the 

 top and abruj)tly cuspiilat^^, \vith short points.

 thehnives — 1'5 cm, \\\ gracilipes and 1'5 to 2'5 in Conraui, ■ TIk^ obovatc form

16. B. Pkeussit, Harms in Engl. Jalnd>, xxxiii^ 195 (1902).

 farm. Preuss 257 ! 



Harms simplv distinguishes it from angolensls by the thicker petioles and 

 ivon\ crass[folta by the thinner texture of the leaves and the glabrous ovary. 

 The last three species are very close together^ perhaps too close to be kept 

 specifically distinctj but the available material is very scanty in the case of 



the last two.
