Sicyos glandulosa Poir. [family CUCURBITACEAE], (1806);. [type as above]
Drusa glandulosa (Poir.) Bornm. [family UMBELLIFERAE], (1903). Fig. 180. [type as above]
Information
Annual herb; stems up to c. 60 cm long, armed with 4-rayed stalked glochids and sessile 4–8-rayed stellate hairs. Leaves opposite; blade ovate to orbicular in outline, 2–7 x 3–8 cm, rather shallowly 3-lobed, sparsely strigulose above with simple and forked hairs, with sessile or stalked stellate hairs and often a few glochids below; petioles up to 10 cm long, with glochids and stellate hairs. Umbels subcapitate, 1–5-flowered, on up to 4 cm long peduncles; involucre lacking. Petals white, stellate pubescent outside. Fruits sessile or subsessile, 5–8 mm long and wide, slightly cordate at the base, the lateral ribs extended into a prominent glochidiate-dentate wing, the wings of the 2 mericarps closely appressed, glabrous or sparsely stellate-pubescent on both surfaces; styles c. 0.5 mm long, longer than the stylopodium.
Range
N2, 3
Altitude range
c. 1150–1250 m.
Distribution
SOMALIA Bally & Melville 15777; Thulin & Warfa 6243; Thulin, Abdi Dahir & Abdisalam Hassan 8928.

Notes
B. glandulosa is fairly frequent in the mist zone of the eastern Cal Madow Range, and the species clearly gives the impression of being indigenous in the area.
