In the Northern Transvaal, where it bears the native name ‘ muchuss,’ 
Entandrophragma. caudatum is a tree about 30 feet high. In Mozam- 
bique, however, where it is known as * mazozo, attains a height of 
60 feet, and the trunk a circumference of 6-7 feet. According to 
Mr. Dawe’s notes made in the field it appears however to be some- 
at rare. 
The caudate-acuminate leaflets distinguish EH. caudatum from the 
other species. According to the classification adopted in Engler & 
Prantl, Die Natiir Tishaa” Pflanzenfamilien, H. caudatum should be 
referred to the genus Wulfhorstia, on account of having only 6 ovules in 
each loculus, and no partitions inside the staminal tube. Entandro- 
phragma has 8 or more ovules in each loculus, and the basal portion 
of the staminal tube is joined to the disk by means of 10 thin partitions. 
These partitions are very short, however, in H. speciosum, Harms, so 
that the generic difference between Entandrophragma and Wulfhorstia 
practically rene the presence of 3 ovules in each row instead 
re being hardly a generic character. Wulfhorstia may 
be retained, however, as a section of Po ee comprising 
Fic. 1, flower; 2, the same, petals removed; 3, pistil, disk and interior of 
staminal ‘tube ; - lo frag tudinal pai of pistil and disk; 5, Wansverte section 
of ovary; 6, ca ; 7, seed; 8, body of seed, and embryo ower part of 
a cotyledon, with iadicls and plumule. All enlarged except 6 aha 7, which are of 
natural si.
