Vangueria randii subsp. randii [family RUBIACEAE]
Information
Plants never spiny.Leaves glabrous.Calyx tube pubescent, the lobes short, up to c. 4 mm long.Peduncles short, up to 7 mm long.
Habitat
Frequently on termite mounds, also on granite hills and other rocky places; dry grassland, Julbernardia–Brachystegia wooded grassland, plateau woodland, and Acacia–Combretum woodland on dambo margins
Range

Altitude range
(500)1050–1890 m. 1890 1050
Distribution
Zambia S Mapanza Mission, fl. & fr. 20.xii.1953, E.A. Robinson 394 (K).Zambia C 19.2 km S of Lusaka on Kafue road, fl. 5.i.1957, Angus 1481 (BM; BR; FHO; K; PRE).Mozambique Z between Régulo Guja and Derre, fr. 10.vi.1949, Barbosa & Carvalho 3002 (LMA).Mozambique MS Manica, 15 km from Mavita on road to Chimoio (Vila Pery), fr. 18.vi.1942, Torre 4345 (C; COI; LISC; LMU; SRGH; WAG).Zimbabwe E Mutare (Umtali), Commonage, fl. 1.xii.1953, Chase 5154 (BM; K; SRGH).Zimbabwe S Masvingo (Fort Victoria), fr. iv.1953, Vincent 152 (K; SRGH) (identif. not certain).Zimbabwe C 12.8 km SE of Gweru (Gwelo), fl. 29.xii.1966, Biegel 1609 (K; SRGH).Zimbabwe W Bulawayo, 1908, Chubb 97 in Herb. Rogers (K).Malawi S Mt. Mulanje, bottom of Likhubula (Likabula) Valley, fr. 6.iv.1989, J.D. & E.G. Chapman 9517 (K; MO) (probably this species - fruit red).Zimbabwe N Sebungwe, Lubu R., fl. 18.xi.1951, Lovemore 183 (K; SRGH).Zambia B Masese, fl. 21.xi.1960, Fanshawe 5909 (K; NDO).Botswana N Ramokgwebane (Ramaquebane), fr. i.1952, Miller B1290 (K; PRE).
Notes
Torre & Paiva 11706 (BR; COI; LD; LISC; LMA; MO) [Mozambique N: 3 km from Montepuez towards Nantulo, fr. 7.iv.1964] falls outside the main distribution range of this species, but could perhaps belong to it. Subsp. vollesenii Verdc. occurs in southern Tanzania, and differs in the following respects: sometimes spiny; peduncles c. 3 mm long; calyx tube glabrous; lobes 3–6(7) mm long. Subsp. chartacea (Robyns) Verdc., distinguished by the longer peduncles, up to 8 mm long, and glabrous calyx tubes, occurs in South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal). It may well be present in Mozambique M: but no certain record has yet been found. An illustration can be found in Pooley, Trees of Natal, Zululand & Transkei: 470 (1993). Subsp. acuminata Verdc. occurs further north in coastal Tanzania and Kenya. The leaf blades are very acuminate and the peduncles are up to 15 mm long.
