This is au extremely anouaalous plant as regards Hi floral structure. It differs 

 from all the South African species of Gnidia, except G, harveyana, Meisn., and 

 G, anomalay Meisn., in having only 4 perfect stamenSj and from the two species I 



mentioned in the entire absence of staniinodes. The absence of tbe characteristic 

 hairs around the petals excludes it from Struthiola, while the allied genus Drapetes^ 

 which does not occur in South Africa, differs in having the upper whorl of stamens 

 perfect with the anthers exserted on long filaments.
