[VIII b.] East Africa: Zanzibaria. German East Africa : Lindi; 
R ovum a Bay, Kirk ! Sim. Dar-es-Salam ; Kodenga, Stuhlmann 6369!

Amboni. Holst 2709 ! British East Africa : Seyidieh ; Mombasa, Boivin ! 
Hildehrandt 2039 ! 
This species, the basis of Mueller’s section Adenoclaoxylon , has only been 
collected on or near the coast. 
2 . E. mitis, Pax in Engl. Pflanzenw. Ost-Afrik., C, 238 (1895). Folia 
firmula. Pedicelli masculi rigidiusculi, stricti. Glandidae extrastaminales 
saepissime liberae.—Pax in Engl. Bot. Jahrb., xxiii. 524 quoad spp. Volken- 
siana tantum (1897), et Engl. Bot. Jahrb., xxx. 339 (1901). 
[VIII b.] East Africa : Zanzibaria. German East Africa : Moro- 
goro; Khutu Steppe, Goetze 105! Tanga; between Magila and Sega, 
Volkens 72 ! 
Nearly allied to F. Kirkii and perhaps an inland form of that species, as Pax has 
suggested, but readily distinguishable by the firmer leaves, shorter stiffer male pedicels, 
and smaller thicker calyx-lobes.

culisquepubescentes . Stamina 9-15; glandidae glabrae vel raro pilis perpaucis
