3. T. kamerunianus, Engl. Monogr. Morac. Afr. 29, t. xi. fig. B 
(incl. var.). A shrub or small tree reaching 18 ft. in height, slightly 
branched ; branchlets slender, ultimate branchlets about 1 lin. thick 
with internodes varying very much in length (?-24 in.), surface grey- 
or reddish-brown, the younger parts and petioles bearing short 
whitish hooked hairs. Leaves varying considerably in size and shape, 
oblong-elliptic to elliptic, more rarely oblanceolate-oblong, apex 
more or less abruptly acuminate, generally more or less grossly 
dentate below the cusp the toothing extending sometimes half-way 
down the leaf, base unequal, obtuse to rounded, 24-10 in. long, 
1}4 in. wide, membranous, shining above, paler beneath, glabrous ; 
lateral nerves 7-12 on each side, ascending and uniting within the 
margin, impressed above, prominent beneath ; petiole 2-5 lin. long. 
Stipules triangular-acuminate, 3-53 lin. long, somewhat persistent. 
Inflorescences 1-4 on a short axillary branch, densely covered with 
short whitish hooked hairs ; peduncles 2 lin. or less in length, becoming 
dilated above into a top-shaped receptacle. Receptacle 3-4 lin. in 
diam., bordered with numerous short bluntly rounded lobes. Male 
flowers 2-androus, the 2 short blunt perianth-lobes densely pubescent 
on the outside ; filaments dilated above into a broad suborbicular 
connective on the inner face of which the separate broadly oval 
anther-halves are borne. Perianth-tube of female flower similar in 
pubescence to the male perianth; projecting style-arms 1 lin. long, 
linear, recurved. Receptacle with ripe fruit subglobose, 5 lin. in 
diam.—Engl. Pflanzenwelt Afr. i. ii. 647 ; Hiern in Cat. Afr. Pl. Welw.

The Mozambique plants, which are 7’. usambarensis, Engl., differ in the 
glabrescent character of the young shoots and inflorescences. The more 
marked toothing of the leaf on which Engler relies as a distinction from 
T. kamerunensis occurs in a still greater degree among the variable leaves © 
that species.
