Maerua angustifolia.—This name has been applied, to three 
distinct species : by A. Richard in 1831, and by Schinz in 1888 and 
1897. Maerua angustifolia, A. Rich, in Guill, et Perr., Fl. Seneg. 
1831, p. 29, t. 8, is a native of Senegal. Richard in 1847 carefully 
Te it from M, oblongifolia, A. Rich. (Tent. Fl. Abyss., 
vol. i, p. 32, t. 6), to which it is undoubtedly allied ; ‘ck Oliver, Fl. 
Trop. Afr., vol. i, 1868, p. 85, reduced it to that species. In 1903, 
however, Gilg restored ‘specific rank to M. angustifolia, A. Rich. 
(Engl. Jahrb., vol. xxxiii, p. 225) ; and comparison of the excellent 
figures accompanying Richard’s descriptions is sufficient to justify 
the io peer of M. angustifolia as a distinct species. 
d by Oliver’s reduction of M, angustifolia, A. Rich., Schinz 
in 1358 described a new species from German South- West Africa 
under the same name (Abh. Bot. Ver. Brand., re Xxix, p 48). 
In 1897, however, Schinz transferred Boscia angustifo olia, ilar.
