Information
Tree 7.5–20(–30) m. tall, with a trunk up to 10 m. tall and 20–90 cm. wide; bark greyish-white, smooth, fibrous or furrowed; branchlets glabrous, ridged. Leaf-blades elliptic, oblong-lanceolate or obovate-oblong, slightly falcate, 2.5–25(–29) cm. long, 1.2–6.3 cm. wide, narrowly acuminate at the apex, cuneate or rounded but ± decurrent at the base, subcoriaceous, discolorous, shining above, glabrous, the 10–24 lateral nerves impressed above, prominent beneath; veins reticulate; petiole channelled, 0.3–1 cm. long. Flowers 2–8 in fascicles; pedicels 0.8–2.5(–3.8) cm. long, glabrous; bracteoles ovate-lanceolate, ± 2 mm. long, 1 mm. wide, very deciduous. Sepals broadly ovateor almost round, 1.5–2 mm. long and wide, ciliate. Outer petals erect, green or greenish-yellow, obovate or obovate-oblong, 0.5–1.2 em. long, 2–4 mm. wide, mostly obtuse, subcoriaceous; inner petals broadly ovate or rounded, 2–2.5(–5) mm. long and wide, concave, ciliolate. Stamens obpyramidal, 0.75–1 mm. long, the connective truncate. Fruiting pedicels 1.5–2.8 cm. long, glabrous; monocarps 4–9, subglobose, ellipsoidal or transverse, 1.5–2.5 cm. long and wide, 1–2 seeded, slightly constricted between the seeds when 2-seeded, glabrous, tuberculate; stipes ± 7 mm. long. Seeds globose or ellipsoid, 1.2–1.5 cm. in diameter, tuberculate. Fig. 5.
Range

Distribution

Notes
Dale (I.T.U., ed. 2: 18 (1952)) records this species from Toro and Acholi also. Keay (F.W.T.A., ed. 2, 1: 39 (1954)) records C. staudtii Engl. & Diels from Uganda, but the admittedly poor material I have seen from Uganda seems to have the petals of C. patens.
