Apparently very nearly allied to, and as regards its male flowers 
not distinguishable from C. hispidum, Pax, a species confined to the 
Cameroons, and to C. Dewevrei, Pax, which occurs both in the 
Cameroons and in the south-eastern portion of the Congo State. 
It differs, however, from both species in shape of leaf and in the 
absence of the spreading hispid hairs which occur on the petioles, 
peduncles and main nerves of the leaves in the two species men- 
tioned. The section Athroandra is probably more satisfactorily 
referred to Erythrococca than to Claoxylon, on account of the 
character of its buds.
