This species is so near C. Botrys, Linn., that high authorities do not agree in the 
sorting of the tropical African material. Nevertheless, Volkens (in Engl. & Prantl, 
Pflanzenfam. iii. 1A, 61) appears to accept C. fatidum as distinct from C. graveo- 
lens. Though the species was originally distinguished from C. Botrys by its heavy 
unpleasant odour,. Moquin says it is “ highly aromatic.” 
As to the specific name to be applied to the species, both the names graveolens 
and fatidum have been confused and misused, even a century ago; the name “ C. 
schraderianum” stands clear. 
It is to be noted that this species varies in size much as does C. Botrys (including 
its var. procera), and occupies much the same area.
