This species is so near C. Botrys, Linn., that high authorities do not agree in the 

 sorting of the tropiciil African material. Nevertheless, A'olkens (in Engl. &; Prantl, 

 Bfianzenfam. iii. lA, 61) appears to accept C.fobtidum as distinct from C. graveo- 

 Itns. Though the species was originally distinguished frcnn C. Botryx by its heavy 

 unpleasant odour, Moquin says it is " highly aromatic." 



As to the epecitic name to be applied to the species, both the names graveolens 

 and fatidvm liave been confused and misused, even a century ago; the name " C. 

 schraderiannm'" stands clear. 



It is to be noted that this species varies in size much as does C. Butrys (including 

 its var. procera), and occupies much the same area.
