A middle-sized tree with yellow flowers. 
Specimens at Kew apparently similar to Mr. Swynnerton's are named 
“ (т. Zanzibarense, Müll. Arg." a species the type of which I have not 
seen. Mr. Swynnerton’s specimens cannot be referred to that species as it 
is moncecious and its male flowers have only 6-12 stamens. The nearest 
affinity seems to be with С. Boivinianum, Müll. Arg., from Madagascar, of 
which the flowers are unknown. 
The hexamery of both male and female perianth is worth mention. I am 
not sure whether all the male flowers have staminodes; some of those 
examined certainly had not, though the staminodes might have got detached 
or been eaten by insects.
