One of the largest forest trees with somewhat rough bark and whitish 
timber with a most offensive smell, bored to a certain extent by Bostrychide. 
The small yellow berries form the staple food of the forest birds. 
Besides the specimens showing flowers and in some cases young leaves, 
there is a small one in the collection of fruits with apparently adult leaves 
very little larger than those described above: perhaps these small leaves 
are characteristic of the species, which сап be known by the dicecism and 
the panieulate male inflorescences.

A large tree: the leaves are used by the natives as sand-paper. Singuni 
name,  Umfubu" ; Chindao, “ Mufubu.” 
N. 437¢ from Chikambogé Valley should most probably be referred here. 
The specimen, without flowers or fruit, has larger leaves than ordinary, 
somewhat thinner in texture and drying greener. It has counterparts in 
Herb. Kew in two specimens collected by Dr. Kirk at Zanzibar, where, as 
the note informs us, the leaves are used for polishing sticks.
