A fair sized tree with bright green flowers. 



Vangueria grisea. Canthium griseum, King and Gamble. 



A medium-sized tree or large shrub, armed in the 

 Pedis plant with long straight spines. The adult leaves 

 are quite glabrous. The fruit is sub-globose borne on 

 long slender pedicels an inch long. It is crowned with 

 the four ovate sepals and is four celled, hence it must be 

 referred to the geuns Vangueria. King and Gamble point 

 out its resemblance to V. spinosa. The plant is nearly 

 leafless when in flower. The flowers are bright light 

 green. I retain unwillingly the specific name, as there is 

 nothing grey about the plant except its young leaves 

 when dry.
