Ochna mechowiana O. Hoffm. [family OCHNACEAE], in Linnaea 43: 123 (1881); Gilg in E.J. 33: 234 (1903); R.E. Fr., Schwed. Rhod.-Kongo-Exped. 1: 150, t. 3, fig. 3 (1914); Exell & Mendonça, C.F.A. 1 (2): 288 (1951) pro parte
Ochna welwitschii Rolfe [family OCHNACEAE], in Bol. Soc. Brot. 11: 84 (1893); Hiern, Cat. Afr. Pl. Welw. 1: 121 (1896). Type: Angola, Golungo Alto, Monte de Queta, Welwitsch 4594 (K!, lecto., BM, COI, LISU, isolecto.)
Information
Fruiting sepals broader and more imbricated, (10–)12–18 mm long, 9 mm wide; inflorescence rhachis often more developed, corolla lemon yellow to bright yellow.
Range
DISTR. T 4, 7
Altitude range
1550–1650 m
Distribution
TANZANIA Sumbawanga District Rukwa, 11 km SSW of Tatanda, 24 Oct. 1992, Gereau & Kayombo 1205 (fide EA);TANZANIA Mbeya District Mbosi, Zambi, 16 Nov. 1932, Davies 705! & Mbozi [Mbosi], 8 Nov. 1935, Horbrugh Porter s.n.!

Congo (Kinshasa)
Angola
Zambia
Notes
Bamps does not recognise subsp. congoensis (Tiegh.) Robson nor subsp. mechowiana (O. Hoffm.) Robson but sinks them without comment. There does seem to be a difference between theT 7 material and the rest and I have retained subsp. mechowiana. Since Robson records both subsp. afzelii and subsp. mechowiana from Mbala varietal rank might be more appropriate.
