A very distinct species, most nearly allied to C. disceptata but 
readily recognised by its glabrous stems and leaves, and its much 
shorter female pedicels.

Cluytia cordata is very nearly allied to C. heterophylla, Thunb. 
but is nevertheless quite easily distinguished therefrom by its larger, 
less rigid leaves with a less conspicuous reticulate venation beneath.

This easily recognisable species was confused by Sonder in 1850 
with three others, C. cordata, Bernh., C. Dregeana, Scheele, and C. 
hirsuta, E. Mey., all of which are equally distinct from it and from 
each other. By Baillon in 1862 it was confused with two of these, 
C. cordata and C. hirsuta, a confusion even more inexplicable 
than that of Sonder, when regard is had to the fact that in Baillon’s 
opinion C. heterophylla was the plant he had himself in 1858 named 
C. floribunda. That plant, by most other writers, has been con- 
fused with C. Alaternoides ; it is, as we now know, C., africana, 
been there when Miiller examined the Berlin material of the genus, 
but have now disappeared, No doubt “hb. berol.” isa lapsus calami
