Also in Nyasalan 
The Zululand specimens of this species agree exactly with those 
collected on Mount Chiradzulu in Nyasaland, and with the origina 
specimens on which C. glabrescens, Knauf, was based. There is no 
doubt that the species, shiek has, by Pax and also by Hutchinson, 
been reduced to C. abyssinica, Jaub. Spach, is very nearly 
related to that plant, but they are so very readily distinguished that 
it is more Cc eicblae ra to adopt Knauf’s view.
