glabrescentibus elevato-reticulatis circiter 4 mm. diametro, 65-70 сш. infra 
apicem. Folia ovato-lanceolata (superiora lanceolata), basi rotundata vel 
obtuse cuneata, apice obtusa vel subacuta, 4:5-6:5 cm. longa, 1:5-3 em. lata, 
irregulariter serrulata, chartacea, leviter discolora, basi 5-nervia, nervis supra 
inconspicuis subtus prominentibus exterioribus parvis, supra dense pubescentia 
subtus tomentella ; petioli 0°5-1°5 em. longi. Inflorescentia foliata, foliis 
superioribus 1:5-2 cm. longis, usque ad 30 ст. longa. Cymæ pro nodo 
circiter 6 ; pedunculi pubescentes, 3-4 mm. longi. Alabastra gracilia, extra 
sparsiuscule stellato-pubescentes, matura in sicco 5-6 mm. longa. Sepala 
purpurascentia, linearia, 7°5 mm, longa, 05 mm. lata, cornu 0'3 mm. longo 
densiuscule pubescente. Petala oblanceolato-linearia, 4:5 mm. longa, 1 mm. 
lata. Glandulæ suborbiculares, 0:2 mm. diametro. Stamina 10, 5-6 mm. 
longa. Ovarium 4-loculare. Fructus juvenilis tantum visus ; aculei uncinati, 
longe setosi. 
А slender undershrub 0:5-1:2 m. high. Leaves ovate-lanceolate, rounded 
or obtusely cuneate at the base, obtuse or subacute at the apex, 4°5-6°5 em. 
long, 1:5-3 em. broad, densely pubescent above, tomentellous below. ln- 
florescence leafy. Buds very slender, sparingly stellate-pubescent. Horns 
of the sepals densely pubescent. Stamens 10. Ovary 4-celled. Prickles of 
fruit uncinate, setose. 
Angola: Huila; Mounyino, Antunes, 363! (partim), under trees, 
Dekindt, 277! 
Apparently allied to T. Dekindtiana, Engl., from which it differs in the 
uncinate prickles. 
20. T. micrantha, K. Schum, in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. xv. (1892) 128. 
Branches scabrid-pubescent with short hairs. Petioles slender, 5-15 mm. 
long. Mature leaves lanceolate-oblong, 6-8 em. long, 1:5-2 em. broad, 
serrulate, seabrid on the upper surface, hairs inconspicuous, mostly simple, 
tomentose or pubescent below. Petals spathulate, retuse. Prickles densely 
pilose, with 2-8 terminal spinules. 
Bongoland : Ssabbi, SeAweinfurth (ser. 1.), 16! 
Very young leaves are stellate-pilose on the upper surface, but the stellate 
hairs gradually disappear, so that long before the leaves are adult most of the 
hairs on the upper surface are simple.
