Ovarium semper dense strigosum; squamae hypogynae nunc cylindrico- 
clavatae staminodiiformes sed anantherae, aliquando glandulis minoribus 
eas floris masculi simulantibus additis ; nunc complanatae, inter se discretae.

glandulis extrastaminalibtis glabris circumcincta ; glandulae juxtastaminales 
o. Squamae hypogynae carpidiis isomerae sta 7 ninodiiformes subcylindrico-

[VI.] South-West Africa. Portuguese West Africa : Mossamedes ; 
on the Kwito below its confluence with the Longa, Baum 549 ! German 
South-West Africa: Awas Mts., Dinter 808 ! Bechuanaland: ridge on the 
north side of Messeringa Vley, Seiner II. 277 ! Ngamiland : Kwebe Hills,

Zambesi, Menyharth 889 b ! 
[IX.] East Central Africa. German East Africa : Magu Kagchi, 
Fischer 387 ! 
Very nearly allied to E. tristis, of which the male flowers are still unknown. 
Female specimens of E. Menyharthii can only be distinguished from those of E. tristis 
by having several-flowered racemes instead of solitary flowers. 
18 . E. tristis. Pedunadi feminei i-flori .—Claoxylon triste , Muell. arg. 
in Journ. Bot., ii. 334 (1864), et in DC. Prodr., xv. 2, 779 (1866); Hiern

A very distinct species; each female peduncle bears a solitary articulate pedicel.

que 9-15, in specie singtda tamen (E. Ledermanniana) 27, glandidis juxta - 
staminalibus hirsutis inter mixta ; glandidae extrastaminales o. Squamae 
hypogynae carpidiis isomer ae, complanatae, inter se discretae.
