28 . E. Mannii. Folia, etiam juvenilia, glaberrima, saturate viridia, basi 
cuneata, 8-20 cm. longa. Stamina 24-30.— Claoxylon Mannii, Hook. f. in 
Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot., vi. 20 (1862); Muell. arg. in DC. Prodr., xv. 2, 778 
(1866). 
[IV a.] West Africa : Upper Guinea. Fernando Po: Clarence 
Peak, 5,000 ft., Mann 260 ! 633 ! 
Mueller describes the stigmas of this species as papillose, but in Mann’s original 
fruiting specimen they are smooth. This is the species on which Athroandra , Hook, f.f 
was primarily based. 
§ VI. Chloropatane. Stigmata brevia vel brevissima, ovato-lanceo- 
lata vel suborbicularia, laevia vel in specie singula ( E. africand) papillosa, 
basi connata vel in apice styli brevis vel distincti insidentia. Discus hypo - 
gynus urceolaris, margine lobatus vel raro subinteger, vel casu e glandulis 
majusculis cum carpidiis alternantibus circa basin ovarii contiguis compositus. 
Filamenta antheris semper multo breviora.— Chloropatane, Engl, in Engl. 
Bot. Jahrb., xxvi. 383 (1899). 
If 13. * Rivinoides.’ Stylus subnullus; stigmata suborbicularia, majus- 
cula, basi connata, saberecta. Calyx maris in alabastro globosus minute 
apiculatus, vel breve conico-pyramidalis. —Trewia, Baill ., Adansonia , i. 68, pro 
parte et dubitanter (i860): nec Linn. Rivinoides, Afzel. MSS. 
29 . E. africana. Stigmata papillosa. Calyx maris in alabastro globosus 
minute apiculatus. Stamina 24 ; glandulae juxtastaminales hirsutae. Discus 
hypogynus sub anthesi subinteger, fructifer 5-lobus. Folia primum parce 
pubescentia, demum fere glabra.— Trewia? africana , Baill., Adansonia, 
i. 68 (i860). Claoxylon Barteri, Hook. f. in Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot., vi. 21

This species, very distinct from every other member of the genus by its stigmas, 
was included, in a footnote, by Hooker, within his section Athroandra. It is also the 
species on which the genus Rivinoides , suggested by Afzelius, was intended to be 
based. But while very distinct as regards its female flowers, it is only distinguishable 
from E. oleracea, so far as its male flowers are concerned, by the smaller number of 
stamens. The specimen of Barter 2223 at Kew, which is in leaf only, is noted 
as having had 40 stamens, and on this account was referred, in the Kew Bulletin, 1 . c.,
