G. resineflua, Hiern. From Lake Nyassa and the Zambesi, is described as an hispidulous or scabrid bush of 4 metres height with resinous secretion ; branches often 
ternate ; leaves obovate, cuspidate 2*5-6 c.m. long, 2-3 c.m. wide. Flowers solitary, terminal, about 2*5 c.m. long, 5-merous ; calyx 1 c.m. long, with sub-globose 
tube; corolla salver-shaped, fragrant; lobes oval, r c.m. long, white turning yellowish ; fruit globose, 8-12 m.m. diameter with 2 placentas. 
G. manganjeE, Hiern. A glabrescent shrub from Zambesia with elliptical sub-acuminate leaves 7-10 c.m. long, 2*5-5 c.m. wide; solitary flowers 5-7 c.m. long, on short 
lateral branches; funnel-shaped corolla shortly hairy on both sides ; the corolla-limb 3-5 c.m. diameter. Placenta solitary. 
G. Annae (P. Wright) var. Moramballte, Hiern. Leaves elliptical-acuminate, 7-13 c.m. long, 2-4 c.m. wide, with a wedge-shaped base and bearded vein-axils. Flowers 
about 7 c.m. long, solitary, sub-sessile, scented ; calyx 2 c.m. long, glabrous, shaggy inside ; corolla funnel-shaped, tube hairy inside, limb 5 c.m. across ; ovary 
oblong with 2 placentas. Zambesia. 
G. (?) Zanquebarica, Heim. Described as a glabrous shrub with elliptical, sub-acuminate, shortly-petiolate leaves, 7-12 c.m. long by 3 4 c.m. wide, ovate-acuminate 
stipules 1 c.m. long, covering a ring of hairs inside the base, “ flowers more than £ inch long, sub-sessile, a few together, in terminal and quasi-axillary short clusters. 
Calyx-limb 5-partite, ^ in. long ; lobes lanceolate, acuminate. Ovary 1 -celled ; placentas 2.” This tree or shrub was described from further north, but a common 
small tree in the forests of Magenja da Costa of which my material is insufficient may belong to it, or to an allied undescribed species. It has the inflorescence 
rusty pubescent, in short 10-20 flowered cymes terminal on side branches; leaves as described above but pubescent on the veins underneath ; calyx in bud with 5 
subulate erect segments 2 c.m. long ; fruit globose, 3-4 c.m. diameter scurfy-brown, i-celled, many-seeded, the seeds bedded in pulp and showing in the mature 
fruit no indication of how many placentae are present ; the fruit crowned by the persistent calyx-tube and segments, then wider and less subulate than when young. 
Vern. names — io, 1 1, Masabwe, Nasaque or Naseka, Egamsago, and Nemagubula. Sim 6069. The timber is used by natives for making plates, &c. 
Another shrub, known at Lourenzo Marques as Nyamafaan, is probably also a Gardenia, but was not seen in flower or fruit. 
152. ZYGOON. A shrub from Zambesia unknown to me but described as having opposite elliptical shortly-petiolate rather velvety leaves, ovate apiculate-acuminate stipules, 
and white, odorous, sub-precocious, small sessile hermaphrodite flowers crowded in dense lateral clusters. Calyx campanulate-turbinate, 5 lobed ; corolla funnel- 
shaped, glabrous outside, bearded at the throat ; ovary 2-celled, ovules 2-3 together, collateral, pendulous from the apex ; style filiform wider and undivided or 
bidentate at the tip. 
Z. graveolens, Hiern. Young parts rather velvety; leaves 3-4 c.m. long, 1*5 c.m. wide, turning blackish-green when dry; flowers 4 m.m. long, corolla-lobes 4 m.m. long. 
153. TRICALYSIA. A group characterised by opposite stipulate, entire, evergreen leaves, axillary cymose inflorescence, 4-5-6 merous flowers, corolla funnel-shaped or 
salver-shaped ; style with 2 branches, ovary globose, 2-celled with few ovules in each, and baccate globose mostly 2-seeded fruits. Within this group arc included 
the following sub-genera, viz. : — Diplospora, flowers 4-merous ; Kraussia, flowers 5-merous, and Tricalysia, flowers 6-merous. They are mostly erect or straggling 
shrubs 1-3 metres high, known as Wild Coffee and closely resemble Coffee in habit ; there are many species of no technical value, and these arc therefore not 
described separately here. In the “ Flora of Tropical Africa” 21 species are described ; in “Flora Capensis” other 4, and there are others besides. In “ Forest 
Flora of Cape Colony” illustrations are given on Plate LXXXV. of Diplospora africana, Sim (fig. 3) ; Kraussia lanceolata, Sond. (fig. r), and Tricalysia capensis 
(fig. 4). Native names included in this group are : — 4, Nakaranga or Nukajanga ; 6, Rutatsakanye ; 10, Ugatadwe and Manyeba-gorewa ; 15, Patankos. 
154. PSYCHOTRIA. Shrubs or small trees, having opposite entire leaves, corymbose-paniculate terminal inflorescence, 5-merous flowers, stamens included in the tube, 
2-celled ovary with solitary erect ovules, and globose 2-seeded fruits, the seeds flat on the adjacent faces, and with more or less ruminated horny albumen. A large 
genus, represented in most tropical and sub-tropical countries. 
P. capensis, Vatke. Vern. names — 4, Kumukuwa and Induhvane ; 13, Gono-gono (Kaffraria), i-boquongo (Natal). Usually a shrub, sometimes a tree up to 3-5 metres 
height with 7-15 c.m. stem diameter and with crooked and forked timber. Leaves evergreen, shining above, paler below, widely lanceolate, elliptic or obovate-oblong, 
7-15 c.m. long, 1*5-4 c.m. wide, shortly petioled, distinctly veined, rounded at the apex or bluntly pointed, glabrous above and either glabrous or pubescent below.
