Cissus glandulosissima Gilg & Brandt [family VITACEAE], in Engl., Bot. Jahrb. 46: 525 (1912). — Suesseng. in Engl. & Prantl, Nat. Pflanzenfam. ed. 2, 20d: 251 (1953). Type as above.
Information
Climbing or procumbent herb; stems striate, densely clothed with ± long capitate glandular hairs; tendrils present. Leaves digitately 5-foliolate; petiole up to 7 cm. long, indumentum as for the stems; leaflet-lamina up to 10 × 6 cm., elliptic, apex acute, margin crenate, base cuneate, glabrous above, pubescent on the nerves below and with scattered capitate glands, sessile or subsessile; stipules up to 3 × 2 cm., ovate- or lanceolate-acuminate, margins pubescent and glandular. Cymes on axillary branches, trichotomous; peduncle c. 3 cm. long, pubescent and with glandular hairs; pedicels up to c. 4 mm. long, pubescent and with numerous rather short capitate-glandular hairs; bracts and bracteoles membranous, up to 2 × 0·8 cm., oblong-lanceolate, margins pubescent and often glandular. Flower-bud c. 2·7 mm. long, oblong-cylindric, constricted near the middle, with a single capitate stalked gland near the apex of each petal. Calyx 0·5 mm. long, entire, pubescent. Ovary pubescent and with capitate glands; style 2 mm. long, apex minutely subcapitate. Fruit 1 × 0·8 cm., ellipsoid, pubescent and with shortly stalked capitate glands. Seed 1, c. 7 × 4·5 mm., obovoid-ellipsoid, with a faint dorsal crest and two strong lateral crests, otherwise almost smooth.
Habitat
On rocky hills (more precise ecology not known).
Distribution
Mozambique Z Ile, fr. 26.vi.1943, Torre 5585 (LISC).Malawi S Shire Highlands, Buchanan 278 (K).Zambia W Mwinilunga, Kaoomba R., fl. 22.xii.1937, Milne-Redhead 3777 (K).
Distribution (external)
Uganda
Notes
Robinson 4252 (SRGH) from Kasama (NR: N) is very near this species but has shorter bracteoles and more glands on the corolla. More material is needed.
