Notes
A plant from Berlin, now at HBG, annotated as S. hildebrandtii and probably part of the original live collection in the Berlin Botanical Garden is referrable to S. villosum subsp. miniatum and the name is therefore placed in synonymy here. One depauperate specimen, Bally 11056 from N2, 1500 m, may represent this taxon or true S. nigrum L. The report of S. scabrum from southern Somalia in Cuf. Enum.: 876 (1963) was probably based on material of S. villosum subsp. miniatum.
