Hab. Lower Umswirizwi River and Sabi River at 1000 ft. ; Chibabava, 
Lower Buzi, at 400 ft. ; in fl. Nov. ; nn. 153, 1123, 1125.

Florum maseulorum sepala 3:5 mm., petala 4 mm., filamenta 275 mm., antherze 
vix 1 mm. long. Florum femineorum sepala 5 mm. long. ; horum glandulæ 
fere 1 mm. long. Ovarium 4x 5 mm.; styli ramuli ultimi circa 3 mm. long. 
Capsula. summum 9:4 х 9*5 em., saltem in sicco compressa. Semina fusca, 
12 mm. long. 
This looks very like С. megalobotrys, Müll. Arg., a dicecious species, of which 
the female flowers are unknown, with larger male flowers and longer 
filaments to the stamens. Its affinity is nearest with C. adenophorus, Müll. 
Arg. from Madagascar. It is a small tree of the river banks and open 
woods; the timber rots rapidly and is useful for firewood. The bark is 
scraped and the scrapings are thrown into the water to kill fish. Chindao 
names, “ Gubouga ” and “ Mubouguta.”
