Names
SCHREBERA alata (Hochst.) Welw. [family ], in Trans. Linn. Soc. Bot. 27: 39 (1869); E.J. 30: 73 (1901); F.T.A. 4: 15 (1902); E.P. IV. 243 II.: 104 (1920). Type: Abyssinia, Tigré, near Aduwa, Schimper 245 (K, iso.!).
Nathusia alata Hochst. [family OLEACEAE], in Flora 24, I. Intell.: 25; II.: 672 (1841). Type: Abyssinia: Schimper 245 (K, iso.!)
Schrebera obliquifoliolata Gilg [family ], in E.J. 30: 72 (1901); F.T.A. 4: 16 (1902) ; E.P. IV. 243 II: 106 (1920); T.T.C.L. 394 (1949). Type: Kenya, Teita, N’di Mt., Febr. 1877, Hildebrandt 2532 (K, iso.!)
Schrebera merkeri Lingelsh. [family ], in E.J. 51: 66 (1913); E.P. IV. 243 II.: 106 (1920); T.T.C.L. 394 (1949). Type: Tanganyika, Masai District, between Engaruka and Lake Natron, Merker 685 (B, holo. †). The reduction of this species is probably but not certainly justifiable. Incomplete material from the Masai District cannot be distinguished from S. alata and the supposed differential characters (leafletsacute or acuminate in S. alata and rounded or emarginate in S. merkeri) occur sometimes on the same specimen
Schrebera nyassae Lingelsh. [family ], in E.P. IV. 243 II.: 106 (1920). Type: Tanganyika Rungwe District, Kyimbila, Stolz 1106 (K, iso.!)
Information
Shrub or tree, 9–24 m. tall, with pale grey bark, vegetative branches grey or ochraceous, glabrous, with numerous rather prominent lenticels. Leaves compound with two pairs of leaflets and an odd terminal leaflet, glabrous or the petiole and rhachis very shortly and usually slightly or rarely rather densely puberulous; rhachis more or less clearly winged and the petiole often auriculate at the base; leaflets elliptic-oblong to elliptic, rarely oblanceolate to obovate-elliptic, rounded to subacute, and often somewhat attenuated at apex, cuneate and the lateral ones sometimes oblique at the base, lateral 4.5–9.5 cm. long and 1.6–4.3 cm. broad, terminal up to 12 (18) cm. long, margin entire and flat, venation reticulate and subprominent, subcoriaceous. Inflorescences terminal to short branches, cymosely branched, fairly compact, 4–6 cm. long, bracteolate, densely puberulous, many-flowered. Calyx broadly campanulate, 5–6 mm. long, puberulous. Corolla externally glabrous: tube about 1 cm. long. Fruit obovate, 2.2–3.5 cm. long, 1.2–1.4 cm. in diameter, with woody valves. Seeds (including the terminal and scarcely unilateral wing) oblanceolate, 2.5 cm. long, 9 mm. broad. Fig. 1 (p. 3).
