Names
VEPRIS lanceolata A. Juss. [family RUTACEAE]
Boscia undulata Thunb. [family CAPPARACEAE], Cap. p. 159, E. & Z.! No. 1140.
Asaphes undulata DC. [family ], Prod. 2. p. 90.
Toddalia lanceolata Lamk. [family RUTACEAE], Ill. n. 2760. DC. Prod. 2. p. 83.
Information
unarmed, glabrous; leaves digitately tri-foliolate, the leaflets lanceolate, acute or obtuse, undulate, sessile, cuneate at base; panicle terminal, much branched. A much branched, small tree or large shrub, glabrous or nearly so. Twigs with grey, wrinkled bark, densely leafy. Leaves spreading; petioles 1–1 1/2 inches long, angular; leaflets lanceolate, oblongo-lanceolate, or oblong, obtuse or acute, undulate, closely reticulate, and multi-punctate, 2–2 1/2 inches long, 8–10 lines wide, very entire. Panicles terminal, many flowered, with alternate, sub-trichotomous and divided branches, the male and female on different branches (or trees?). Fruits the size of a pea, 4-lobed, gland-dotted.
Distribution
SOUTH AFRICA In primitive woods. Districts of George and Uitenhage, common. Macalisberg, Burke. Jan.-Feb. (Herb. T.C.D., Hook., Sond.)
Notes
If correctly referred to V. lanceolata, Juss., this shrub is also a native of the Mauritius. I follow Planchon, in Herb. Hook., in so referring it. Probably V. paniculata should also be enumerated among the synonyms.
