- GonskiA, Bolle in Peters. Mossamb. Bot. i. 15. t£. 3, species Africana, a cseteris speciebus 2- 
foliolatis foliolis cc-nerviis non differt nisi legumine plano tenui et seminibus exarillatis. Arillus 
eziterum in diversis speciebus valde diversus est ; in C. hymenecfolia, Moric., planta Cubensi, crassus 
est et sub semine oblique turbinatus, in specie Africana inedita vix aliter ab illa distinguenda, arillus 
semen fere totum involvit. 
In C. Mopane, Kirke, ined., eujus flores ignoti sunt, folia 2-foliolata, et leguminis forma omnino 
Gorskie, cotyledones tamen insigniter corrugatze et vesieulis resiniferis repletz, In specie Brasiliensi 
inedita (Z/anchet, n. 3150), folia 2-foliolata, foliola tamen ut in ooc-foliolatis, penninervia nec 
co-nervia, legumen planum, quoad formam omnino Copaifere, sed in parte superiore tantum bivalve, 
basi ut in Hardwickia indehiscens.
