 Art erweisen wird, wenn erst männliche Blüten von ihr vorliegen.« (Schlechter).

»Affinis P. capensi Eckl. et Zeyh., sed ramis novellis foliisque laxe tomentellis, 

 floribus minoribus, filamentis petala longe superantibus distincta.« 



»Arbuscula 3—4 m alta, ramis cinereis, novellis fulvo-tomentellis. Folia congesta, 

 simplicia, late oblonga, apice rotundata, interdum subapiculata, basi inaequaliter sub- 

 truncata, margine integra vel crenulata vel undulata, ad 6 cm longa et 2,5 cm lata, 

 coriacea, subtus fulva, utrinque laxe tomentella, nervis lateralibus utrinque 18 — 20 

 cum venarum reticulatione subtus prominentibus; petiolus 5 — 10 mm longus. Racemi 

 masculi ad 10,5 cm longi, 1,2 — 1,5 cm lati, graciles, fulvo-pubescentes ; pedicelli 2 mm 

 longi. Calyx 5-fidus, cupularis, pubescens. Petala latissime rotundata, 0,5 — 0,7 mm 

 longa, basi transverse plicata. Discus tomentellus. Filamenta 2 — 2,5 mm longa. 

 Antherae 1 mm longae. Ovarii rudimentum tomentosum.« 



»Transvaal. In bush near Modderfontein, Conrath n. 295.« 



»The same plant is represented at Kew by two specimens collected by Rehmann 

 in the Transvaal: n. 4007, from Aapies Poort near Pretoria (<$), and n. 5460, from Streyd- 

 poort in the Makapansbergen ($). The leaves of Rehmann's n. 4007 are up to 8 cm 

 long and almost 4 cm wide with crenulate or acutely serrulate margins. N. 5460 has 

 a foliage exactly like that of Mr. Conrath's plant, but the stamens are imperfect and 

 almost sessile, whilst the 3-lobed ovary is terminated by a distinct short columnar 

 style. See also Mr. J. Burtt-Davy's note on this plant in Kew Bull. (1908) 178, under 

 Pappea capensis. P. fulva resembles more P. ugandensis Bak. f., than P. capensis, but 

 may be easily distinguished by the long pedicelled (not subsessile) <$ flowers. It will 

 also have to be compared with P. Schumanniana Schinz, of which there is no specimen 

 at Kew. This is, however, described as having glabrous petals and longer (4 mm) 

 filaments. — Otto Stapf.«
