Specimens from Kcenig are in Herb. Mus. Brit. The fruits described 

 and figured by Gacrlner from the Leyden Museum were, doubtless, 

 collected by Hermann, but the name is not given in his 'Mus. Zeyl.' 

 The leaves, which are a bright apple-green, dry orange-brown. The 

 bark gives a very tough fibre, from which strong ropes are made.
