The type specimen of G. malacocarpa bore fruit but no flowers, 
and this no doubt led to Schumann’s describing flowering material 
from Togoland as a new species. Schumann stated that the close 
grey indumentum on the lower surface of the leaves distinguished 
G. dependens from all the other species with paniculate inflorescence, 
but this indumentum is characteristic of G. malacocarpa. 
The differences adduced by De Wildeman as penta ys 
G. malacocarpoides from G. malacocarpa lie in the colour of the 
indumentum, the shape and nervation of the leaves, and the absence 
of glabrous pegeesens te in G. malacocarpoides. The series of 
specimens in the Kew Herbarium exhibits similar differences in the 
leaves, but after Ricpecuag side by side yorere. of Liberian, Togo- 
land, Lagos and Cameroons specimens I am unable to detect any 
differences in them which would, in my opinion, : jst segregation. 
he glabrous acarodomatia are only evident on the leaves of Bate’s - 
No. 441, but they are present on the other specimens, masked, how- 
ever, by the tufts of hairs so frequently found on the lower surface 
of leaves in the axils of the lateral nerves. The indumentum thus 
appears continuous, as described for G. malacocarpoides. The 
pedicels of G. emma eos however, are from description only 
3 mm. long, as against 4-6 mm. in G. malacocarpa; and seem to 
little longer, therefore, than the bracts.
