  This 
  South 
  African 
  leguminous 
  tree 
  was 
  first 
  named 
  Virgilia 
  grandis 
  by 
  E. 
  

  

  Meyer 
  in 
  1835, 
  and 
  later 
  was 
  given 
  the 
  name 
  Millettia 
  caffra 
  by 
  Bentham, 
  who 
  

  

  apparently 
  did 
  not 
  know 
  of 
  the 
  earlier 
  name. 
  In 
  accordance 
  with 
  present 
  rules 
  

  

  of 
  botanical 
  nomenclature 
  the 
  earliest 
  specific 
  name, 
  grandis, 
  is 
  here 
  restored. 
  

  

  Millettia 
  grandis 
  is 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  rocky 
  slopes 
  of 
  the 
  mountains 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  

  

  of 
  Durban 
  in

  "It 
  may 
  be 
  interesting 
  to 
  note 
  that 
  the 
  fishermen 
  at 
  Fajao 
  use 
  as 
  a 
  line 
  a 
  

   fiber 
  obtained 
  from 
  a 
  climbing 
  asclepiad 
  (evidently 
  Chlorocodon 
  whitei 
  [now 
  

   Mondia 
  whitei] 
  ) 
  which 
  is 
  common 
  in 
  bushland 
  throughout 
  Unyoro. 
  It 
  has 
  great 
  

   strength 
  and 
  durability, 
  a 
  line 
  about 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  an 
  ordinary 
  thread 
  holding 
  a 
  

   fish 
  from 
  4 
  to 
  6 
  pounds 
  in 
  weight. 
  The 
  roots 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  plant 
  are 
  eaten 
  by 
  the 
  

   natives 
  as 
  a 
  tonic, 
  and 
  are 
  of 
  a 
  pleasant 
  taste."
