Information
Climber with long flexuous twining stems, attaining 6 m.; nodes of main branches well spaced. Young shoots, petioles and peduncles smooth and glabrous or more usually crispate–pilose or lanate, the indurnentum pale greenish–yellow; bark of older branches at first smooth and brown, later cracking to reveal yellow streaks. Leaves trifoliolate, glabrous or more usually whitish– or yellowish–pilose on both surfaces. Petiole 0·5–2·5 cm. long; petiolules of lateral leaflets 0·4–1·8 cm. long, of terminal leaflets 1·2–2 cm. long. Leaflets ovate, elliptic or suborbicular, the apex acuminate, rounded or rarely emarginate, almost always with apiculum, the base rounded or acute; terminal leaflet 2·7–9 x 1·3–5 cm., lateral leaflets 1·2–6 x 0·8–3·8 cm. Acarodomatia present, usually only in axils of lower lateral nerves but occasionally occurring almost to leaflet apex. Flowers in terminal several– to many–flowered corymbs, strongly scented; pedicels up to 3 mm. long. Calyx glabrous or pubescent, tube 1·5–2 (2·5) mm. long, with 5–6 minute triangular teeth 0·25–0·5 mm. long.

Notes
A very variable species which Turrill (loc. cit.) divided into several subspecies; these are not upheld in the F.Z. area. In the F.Z. area the great majority of specimens have pilose leaves and peduncles, but those from–the two southern provinces of Mozambique (GI and M) are usually glabrous. This variation is not correlated with any other significant difference.
