Distrib. Angola. 
The flowers of M. Mualala being unknown, there is some doubt about this 
identification ; but the foliage agrees so closely with that of Welwitsch’s 
specimens as to leave no justification for considering Mr. Swynnerton’s plant 
а new species, and in this opinion Mr. Hiern agrees. А description of the 
flowers is herewith given. 
Flores masculi 2—4-ni. Calycis 3-lobi lobi ovato-rotundati, obtusi, limbo 
subeequales, circa 1 mm. long. Corolle 4:5 mm. long. lobi obovati, obtusi, 
3 mm. long. Stamina 12, calycis tubo affixa ; filamenta circa 1:5 mm. long.; 
ап его filamentis æquilongæ, apice puberule. 
Flores feminei solitarii vel 2-ni. Calycis 3—4-lobi tubus 1:5 mm. long. ; 
lobi rotundati, obtusissimi, 3-5 mm. long. et lat. Corolle tubus 2 mm. 
long. ; lobi 3-4, ovato-oblongi, obtusissimi vel emarginati, 45 mm. long. 
Staminodia 3, clavata, circa 2 mm. long. Ovarium 6-loculare, oblongo- 
ovoideum, sursum angustatum, 3.5 mm. long. Stylus 1:5 mm. long. 
This is one of the tallest trees of the Chirinda Forest. It is called ** Black- 
Bark ” by settiers ; Chindao name, “ Munyamkungu.” 
Besides the above, which has milk-white flowers, Mr. Swynnerton collected 
what appears to be a form or variety of it having yellow flowers. These 
flowers, besides their colour, differ in the somewhat smaller size of the calyx 
and corolla and the slightly larger stamens. This also was found in the 
Chirinda Forest (n. 2), and passes under the same popular name as the type.
