, as eli A. guineensis and Malpighia alternifolia are 
identical with A. ihe, a new combination under Acridocarpus, 
with the early and now ee om name alternifolius, will have 
to be made. As I have not seen Jussieu’s and Schumacher and 
Thonning’s types, I think it ene 6 adopt the name A. corymbosus, 
sen which there is no doubt.
