132 CONTRIBUTION TO THE FLORA OF GAZALAND, 
florigerorum adusque 20 cm. long. et 6 em. lat., papyracea, subtus albide 
sericeo-tomentella. Pedicelli inerassati, ferruginei, 1:5 mm. long. Flores 
albi. Calycis segmenta 3:5 mm. long. Corolla tota 4 mm. long.; tubus 
2-5 mm. long. ; lobi dense ciliato-barbellati, 1:5 x + 175 mm. Filamentorum 
pars libera 1:2 mm., antheræ 0*5 mm. long. Ovarium L5 mm., stylus 
1-2 mm. long. Fructus minute sericei, vix 2*5 em. diam, Semina L8x 
1:0 cem., saturate brunnea, mox pallescentia. 
A plant at first sight recalling C. megalismontana, Sond., which, on account 
of the different venation, is placed by Engler in another section of the genus. 
The nearest affinity is with C. africanum, A. DC., but the leaves of C. fulvum 
are smaller, more drawn out at the base, and have a much closer reticulum, 
the pedicels are distinctly shorter, the corolla larger, the filaments are longer 
than the anthers, the ovary is larger and differently shaped (this pointing to 
differences in the fruit), and the style is shorter than the ovary instead of 
being twice as long. 
According to Mr. Swynnerton this is one of the largest trees of the 
Chirinda Forest, reaching the height of at least 120 feet. He also notes that 
a milky latex is especially abundant in the fruits. The larger leaves of the 
barren branches are white below.
