Names
GREWIA goetzeana K. Schum. [family TILIACEAE], in E.J. 28: 430 (1900); Burret in E.J. 45: 187 (1910); T.T.C.L: 619 (1949). Type: Tanzania, Kilosa District, Kidodi [Kidoti], Luhembe [Ruhembe] R., Goetze 405 (B†, holo., K!, iso.)
GREWIA caducisepala K. Schum. [family TILIACEAE], in E.J. 28: 428 (1900). Type: Tanzania, Morogoro District, Kisaki [Kissaki], Maji ya Veta, Goetze 374 (B†, holo., K!, iso.)
Information
Tree to 13 m tall; young stems densely coarsely ferruginous pubescent. Leaves oblong to oblong-obovate, 6–18.5 cm long, 3.3–10.5 cm wide, rounded to truncate and shortly and abruptly acuminate at the apex, sometimes deeply and irregularly incised, rounded, sometimes slightly asymmetric, at the base, margin coarsely serrate, scabrid-pubescent above, with denser pubescence on the veins, densely pubescent beneath and concolorous; petiole 5–8 mm long, densely pubescent; stipules unequal, winged on one side. Inflorescence a 1–3-flowered cyme, 1–2 in a leaf-axil, covered with a dense ferruginous pubescence; peduncle 11–20 mm long; pedicels 8–14 mm long. Flowers yellow; sepals 11–15 mm long; petals broadly obovate to subcircular, 3–6 mm long. Androgynophore glabrous for 1.5–3 mm long, cup-like and densely pubescent at the apex; stamens 8–13 mm long; ovary ± 2 mm long, densely hairy, stipitate; style 7–9 mm long. Fruit 2-lobed, or unlobed by abortion, the lobes 7–12 mm long, 7–10 mm wide, with a few scattered long hairs, green when unripe. Fig. 4/52 (leaf, p. 11).

Notes
Distinguishable from G. inaequilatera, which occurs across the border in Mozambique, by its generally much larger leaves and coarse ferruginous pubescence on the young branches, petioles and inflorescences.A single specimen from Mpwapwa District (1–2 km NE of Gulwe, 21 Apr. 1988, B. & T. Pócs 88062/F) has fruit the size of G. goetzeana and a similar leaf-shape, but the leaves are smaller and the whole plant is less densely hairy. It was found in a much drier habitat ( Commiphora woodland) than G. goetzeana is normally found, which may explain some of the morphological differences.
