these trees and unmistakable evidence of their having 
consumed the fallen fruit. 
8 . MatabeAnnie.—-A small tree, found near streams, 
and in valleys ; it bears a round fruit about 1 inch in 
diameter and of a yellowish green colour. The fruit 
is very soft and juicy, and contains one seed, about 
J inch in diameter. 
9. MLOLA.—A large tree, bearing a fruit similar to that 
found on the Undendie shrub, an account of which 
follows. The whole of the Mlola fruit is eaten—skin 
and all. 
10. Mbuie.—A very large tree, sometimes of tremendous 
girth, with fruit as large as cocoa-nuts. Elephants 
are particularly fond of these fruits, and shake them 
down from the trees. The fruit, which is enclosed in 
shell thinner than that of the cocoa-nut, is of a pale 
green shade, is full of seeds, and tastes something 
like a lime sweetened. 
11. MSARA.—A fruit, something similar to the Matonga 
but smaller and sweeter. Its flavour is rather nice, 
and something akin to a sweet lemon. 
12. Ndava.—A large bush, bearing a chocolate-coloured 
fruit, something larger than a cherry, but full of little 
seeds. I have eaten a great deal of this fruit, and 
think they would be delicious if cultivated. Elephants 
are very partial to them. 
13. NYONIO.—A magnificent tree, with wide-spreading 
branches, which bears a slightly oblong, chocolate- 
coloured fruit, about the size of a cherry, in clusters 
of three and four. The fruit is borne in profusion, 
and would, I believe, repay cultivation. 
14. PlTIMBlE.— A large tree, bearing tremendous quantities 
of a cherry-sized fruit. This fruit is also borne in 
clusters, but has only one seed, and is bitter-sweet in 
flavour. When ripe, the skin is black.
