Abstract

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.
