1. C. angolensis Hiern, sp. n. 



A small or moderate-sized tree; trunk sometimes attaining 

 1 to lg ft. in diam., soon dividing into spreading branches; 

 branchlets terete or somewhat angular, glabrate or puberulous. 

 Leaves exstipulate, alternate, trifoliate, 3 to 12 in. long; petiole 

 | to 3 in. long, more or less puberulous with short hairs ; lateral 

 petiolules opposite, T \ to 5 in. long, puberulous ; terminal petiolule 

 g to § in. long, somewhat puberulous ; leaflets oval or elliptical, 

 subacuminate or sometimes obtuse at the apex, more or less nar- 

 rowed or wedge-shaped at the base, thinly coriaceous, glabrous 

 except the puberulous midrib, somewhat glaucous or obscurely 

 green, glossy and inconspicuously veined above, delicately net- 

 veined beneath, 1^ to 7 in. long, \ to 2f in. broad. Inflorescence 

 terminal or in the upper axils, pyramidal, 5 to 6 in. long, clothed 

 with very short hairs mixed with rather longer ones ; branches 

 alternate ; ultimate pedicels about equalling the flowers in length. 

 Flowers white, sweet-scented, rather fleshy, about J to \ in. long ; 

 calyx small, not accrescent, green, with 4 or occasionally 5 shortly 

 deltoid and abruptly acute segments, appressed to the petals in 

 the bud but afterwards spreading; petals 4 (or rarely 5), ovate 

 or ovate-lanceolate, white, rather fleshy, resinous-punctate, valvate 

 in aestivation, recurved-spreading in full flower, hypogynous, in- 

 serted together with the stamens at the external base of the 

 gynophore, alternate with the calyx-segments, g in. long ; stamens 4 

 (or rarely 5 or 6), alternating with the petals, exserted, glabrous, 

 with filaments tapering from a flattened base, and cordiform 

 yellow- white 2-celled (cells diverging) introrse longitudinally de- 

 hiscing anthers attached at the middle to the apex of the fila- 

 ment; gynophore short, circular, glandular, surrounded at the 

 basal margin with rather rigid persistent hairs ; ovary didymous 

 (or very rarely tridymous or tricoccous, as in Euphorbiacese), 

 seated on the gynophore, rather compressed; style thick, very 

 short (or styles 2, nearly distinct at the base and combined at the 

 apex) ; stigma peltate, with 2 spreading rounded or oblong obtuse 

 thick lobes; ovary after flowering 2-celled, cells 1-ovuled; ovule 

 pendulous. Fruit obliquely ellipsoidal, glabrous, 3 to g in. long, 

 somewhat fleshy, dotted, 2-celled, 1- (or 2-) seeded. Seed pendulous, 

 solitary, obliquely ellipsoidal, similar in form to the containing 

 fruit-cell, exalbuminous ; embryo with unequal cotyledons.
