Near to C. Willdenovii, from which its more numerous leaflets, rounded 

 ovary and more slender style, and the form of the fruit, appear chiefly to 

 distinguish it. 



b. Species Africanse.

Harvey and Sonder, I. c, state the ovary to be 3-celled ; it commonly is 

 so, but varies with 4 or 2 cells. Vogel's plant from Cape Coast (C. ani- 

 *«'«, Hk. fil. Flor. Nigrit. p. 256) appears identical with some forms of 

 this species.]
