Flora of the Leribe Plateau and Environs. 107 



The Sesuto name for Dieterlen 661 is MoJchvane o monyenyane. The 

 small " Monkhvava," which is not planted in the " lelchotla." I have 

 only seen var. trifoliata from Basutoland, which also occurs in Albany 

 and Komgha. Var. collina has also been recorded from Konigha and 

 var. integrifolia from the Albany Division. Flanagan, 492 (Komgha), 

 Wood, 241,602 (Natal), and Pearson, 1396 (Nelspoort), have both 

 teruate and simple leaves, but the shape of the leaves and leaflets 

 approach nearer to var. ternata than to the other two varieties. 

 Stewart, 128 (Swaziland), has 2- and 3-lobed leaves. The leaflets in 

 Phillips, 595, are sometimes divided, usually the terminal leaflet is 

 ternate and the lateral leaflets may either be simple or biuate.
