Pseudolachnostylis is a small genus of Euphorbiaceous shrubs endemic 
to Africa, and especially abundant in Angola and the Zambesi basin. 
‘ It is distinguished in the tribe Phyllantheae by its shortly pedunculate 
cymose male inflorescences and the hard globose tardily septicidal 
capsules. The female flowers are axillary and solitary or subsolitary.
