 E descriptione et floris $ unius c. Hb. Berol. communicati indole forsan eadem 

 ac A. macrobotrys Gilg (n. 64). 



A. subcoriaceus E. G. Baker, Bot. Anglo-German Uganda Boundary Commiss. in 

 Journ. Linn. Soc. XXXVII. (1905) 136; Radlk. in Sitzungsber. bayer. Akad. XXXVIII. 

 (1908) 226. — »Frutex foliis parviusculis, breviuscule petiolatis, petiolo demum glabro, 

 foliolis lateralibus quam terminalibus paullo brevioribus, subcoriaceis, oblongis, basin 

 versus angustatis, omnibus subsessilibus, margine integris vel hinc inde serratis, utrinque 

 glabris, nervis venisque utrinque subtus prominentibus ; inflorescentia nunc simplice 

 pseudo-racemosa, nunc ramos utrinque emittente saepissime folium subduplo superante; 

 floribus generis, albis, parvulis, in cymulas approximatas dispositis, rhachi pedicellisque 

 pilosulis. « 



»Foliola 3,5 — 5,5cm longa, 1,5 — 2,1cm lata. Petiolus communis 8 — 13cm longus.« 

 In Africa orientali: »Hab. Near Mulema (South Ankole). fl. May 1903. Dr. 

 A. G. Bagshawe n. 264. 



»Native Name »Mtete«. 'Sticks rubbed together and used to produce fire. A 

 spreading shrub with white flowers.« — »Not closely allied to any species of which 

 I have seen specimens. Noticeable on account of the rather small, subcoriaceous 

 leaflets and small numerous flowers in few-flowered cymules. « 



Quantum e foliolo et thyrso c. Hb. Berol communicatis videre possum, valde 

 similis A. africani form. 5. senegalensi, a qua foliola vix differunt nisi axillis nervorum 

 imberbibus.

»Minute petals covered with white hairs; disc orange-red, 4-lobed. « 

 »Differs from A. stachyanthus Gilg especially in the apex of the leaflets.« 

 Affinis videtur A. africano et'insignis est foliolis, quorum 1 vidi c. Hb. Berol. 

 communicatum, praesertim subtus pilis setaceis albidis sparsis, ad nervum medianum 

 vero infra medium creberrimis horizontaliter patentibus obsitis, quod simili modo, 

 sed pilis chryseis exhibet A. africani forma 3. chrysothrix, cujus forsan typus parallelus 

 leucothrix.
