Masters, in Fl. trop. Afr. and Fl. Ind., identifies var. ^. of this species 

 with T. toonentosa, Boj. The Mauritian plant, which for a long time was 

 cultivated in H.B.C. but is now apparently lost, has a velvety tomentum and 

 small globular fruits not larger than those of T. rliomboidea, while Masters 

 describes them as being as large as a cherry. 



Doubtful species.
