The identification was surmised from the clavis of Xysmalobium 
in Fl. Trop. Afr. iv. i. p. 300, and Mr. N. E. Brown was good enough 
to dissect, at my etek a flower with one from the type at Paris 
communicated to Kew. The two flowers he found identical, the 
only differences between the plants being that whereas the type 
care tomentose stem and midrib of leaf, the stem and midrib of 
the other are at most pubescen nt.
