The two species of Cola that occur in southern Africa are reviewed. C. natalensis Oliv. is endemic, but C. greenwayi Brenan has mainly a tropical east African distribution with the eastern Transvaal and northern Zululand specimens being the most southerly records. A study o f the available material from tropical east Africa and southern Africa supports the view that C. microcarpa Brenan is synonymous with C. greenwayi.
