A1BIZZIA sp. 
Matopo Hills, kopjes. Fl. and old Fr. Oct. 198. 
A small tree with smooth grey bark, flowering before leaves 
on old wood. Flowers white, in dense round heads with stalks 
about 5 cm. long. The legume is membranous and four-seeded. 
As there are no leaves, it is difficult to determine this species 
with accuracy, but the flowers do not agree with any material in 
the British Museum or Kew Herbaria. 
The following is probably another species, but fruit is required 
for determination. 
Matopo Hills, veld and kopjes, general. Fl. Oct. 187. 
A small tree, about 7 m. high, with spreading crown and rough 
dark bark. The leaves are 3-jugate with faleate pinne. The 
flowers are white, densely capitulate, on long axillary peduncles. 
This seems a very distinct species, which could not be matched 
at the British Museum or Kew Herbaria.
