According to Capt. Speke (* Nile Journal, Append. p. 636) the roots of this 
species boiled with the flour of Andropogon Sorghum are considered by the 
‘Wanyamwezi’ to be a cure for hematuria; the contorted branches make 
an impenetrable fence.

We are much obliged to M. Cas. De Candolle for the loan of the type 
which enabled us to confirm Mr. Williams’s conception of 1 as a distinct 
species. 
According to Voight the plant described by Carey as G. macrocarpa was 
raised at Sibpure from seed received from Loddiges & Co. in 1822. This 
was the year when (Feb. to April) G. Don collected in Sierra Leone for the 
Hortieultural Soeiety of London, and it is very probable that Loddiges 
obtained the seeds from him.
