Occurs also in South Africa. 
To be inserted near C. zambesicus, Miill. Arg., with which it is extremely closely 
allied, but it may usually be distinguished by its smaller leaves shining on the 
upper surface and rudimentary or sessile glands at the apex of the petiole.

glabrous or nearly so. Leaves oblong or oblong-elliptic, long-caudate- 
acuminate, slightly cuneate and biglandular at the base, 34-7 in. jong, 
13-2 in. broad, very thinly chartaceous or almost membranous, some- 
what distantly crenulate with obtusely mucronate teeth, dull and almost 
glabrous on both surfaces, when young with a few minute stellate hairs 
on both sides ; lateral nerves 5-8 on each side, distinct on both surfaces, 
prominent below, branched towards the margin ; petiole 13-2? in. Jong, 
glabrous or with a few scattered hairs; stipules somewhat foliaceous, 
linear or linear-lanceolate, obtuse, 4—6 lin. long, glabrous. Mowers 
dicecious. Male racemes terminal, slender, 10-12 in. long ; rhachis

raceme in fascicles of 5-8; pedicels slightly reflexed at the tame 0 
flowering, 2-3} lin. long, stellate-tomentellous. Sepals ovate, obtuse,
