Allied to D. aframensis, Hutchinson, but easily distinguished by its smaller 
leaves, which are rounded or emarginate at the apex and obtuse and un qual-sided at 
the base, and the more slender petioles.

4a. Phyllanthus delpyanus, //utchinson. A shrub; branches 
terete, covered with grey glabrous bark; young flowering branchlets 
fasciculate, with numerous coriaceous glabrous ovate-triangular scales 
at the base of each cluster, spreading, up to 6 in. long, many-flowered. 
Leaves ovate, shortly and obtusely pointed, truncate or rounded at the 
base, 3-1} in. long, 4 to nearly 1 in. broad, thinly and rigidly 
chartaceous, with recurved margins, glabrous, much darker on the 
upper surface (when dry), grey or glaucous-green below, with 4-5 pairs 
of slender looped lateral nerves slightly raised below ; veins not visible ; 
petiole 1 lin. long, glabrous; stipules very small. Flowers diecious. 
Males numerous, in axillary fascicles : pedicel about I lin. long, glabrous. 
Sepais 4-5, broadly ovate, obtuse, 4 lin. long, glabrous. Disk-glands 
4-5, rounded, glabrous. Stamens 4-5; filaments more or less connate 
nearly their whole length; anthers rounded, dehiscing at the side, 
Female flowers not seen. Fruits nearly sessile, hard, indehiscent (2), 
depressed, about 7 lin. in diam., 3-6-lobed, finely wrinkled when dry,

A very distinct species, and most closely allied to P. Engleri, Pax, Le ip 
Mozambique district, differing however by its ovate shortly Soma leaves and less 
spiny scales at the base of the fascicles of the flowering branchlets. 
I have much pleasure in naming this species in compliment to Monsieur E. weed 
the artist of the Paris Museum, whose beautiful drawings of the anitlyses of many of 
the Euphorbiacee in Pierre’s Herbarium have been of great assistance in their 
determination.
