An example of typical C. baccifera in Herb. Delessert collected by Lemue is 
noted as being from near Takoon in Bechuanaland. No other specimen of C. baccifera 
appears to have been met with in the Kalahari Region ; this locality is therefore 
for the present doubtful, The same remark applies to a specimen of C. baccifera, 
var. dilatata in Herb. Kew collected by Cooper (2763) and said to be from 
the Orange River Colony ; this is a still more doubtful locality. 
A rather variable species. Bowie terms it the ‘‘ Tooth-ache Berry.”
