LIT. COMBRETACE Aisa nven
Combretacee, whether as climbers often with their grand
inflorescence, or as moderate-sized trees, constitute one of the
greatest ornaments of the tropical landscape, making a splendid
show with their variously-coloured leaves and winged fruits; by
the abundance of their flowers, especially in the case of the
species which have red blossoms, they produce a wonderfully
magnificent effect: they mostly bloom in winter. Combretum
flammeum Welw., a climbing shrub, which is frequent ‘about
Sange in Golungo Alto, has its petals and sepals and even its
bracts coloured bright red, ultimately turning dark blood-red,
and thus presents the appearance of a burning bush. Few species
give from dried specimens any adequate idea of the beauty of the
plants in a growing state. Some species occur only as herbs or
undershrubs, others as trees even to the height of 80 ft., others
again either as small shrubs or mighty climbers ; some have a very
wide distribution, as for instance C’. constrictum Laws., which occurs
on both the western and eastern sides of the African continent,
and which in Angola is diffused in different forms in the interior,
and is represented in Pungo Andongo by a closely allied species.
Six species of trees or erect shrubs adorn the forests about
Pungo Andongo, and of these one with large glossy leaves and
clusters of blood-red fruits is conspicuous, inhabiting the forests
of the Cuanza valley from Sansamanda to Quisonda, a distance
of at least 75 to 80 geographical miles; Combretum constrictum
Laws., an officinal shrub, occurs very abundantly near Can-
dumba ; the scandent species with flaming-red flowers are rarer
than in Golungo Alto and Cazengo; but C’. racemosum P. Beauv.
with its silky-glossy leaves and scarlet-red flowers produces a
splendid contrast. Several species, which are found in masses in
Golungo Alto, occur in Pungo Andongo singly, and so exercise but
little effect as a feature in the physiognomy of the vegetation.
Most species show a considerable variation between the leaves
of their young shoots and those of the older flower-bearing
branches, both in shape and indumentum, so that it is often very
difficult to classify forms of the same species which have sprung
from the same stock but at different periods or have attained a
greater age ; frequently even the densest tomentum on the radical
shoots becomes obsolete on the flowering shrub. The pubescence,
which is often silky or like felt, and which is whitish or greyish
on the living plant, assumes on dried specimens a tawny or
ferruginous colour, rendering the descriptions taken from herba-
rium specimens mostly erroneous and voccasioning wrong diagnostic
characters. For instance, C’. holosericewm Sond. is described by
its author as clothed with tawny hairs, while in nature it shines
with a silvery-white pubescence on its leaves and branches, and
the wings of its fruit, described as yellowish, are really of a
blood-red colour.
The colour of the petals is remarkably constant in the same
22

species ; Welwitsch never noticed in Angola whitish or yellow
petals in the typically red-flowering species, nor red petals in the
typically white or yellowish species.
The wood of several species of Zerminalia and of the arbores-
cent Combreta is very valuable and held in high estimation by the
colonists, as for instance that of the Mteia and the Gustisu. The
roots and bark of some species are used as yellow and black dyes ;
and those of others as an astringent in skin diseases and diarrheea,
T. Catappa L., which has been long cultivated in the Cape de
Verde Islands and in St. Thomas and Prince’s islands, is a capital
tree for avenues and moreover supplies well-flavoured seeds.
Laguncularia racemosa Gaertn. f. is well suited for making dams
to prevent the washing away of the beach on the sea-shore ; it
grows almost exclusively and thrives well in salt water, in
company with Avicennia and Rhizophora ; in some negro villages
the bruised leaves are employed for tanning and dyeing brown
fishermen’s nets, either alone or mixed with the leaves of Chryso-
balanus Icaco L. The Mube, Combretum holosericeum Sond.,
supplies the people of Loanda with excellent firewood, and on that
account has become rarer and rarer in that neighbourhood. The
flowers of most species afford ample food for bees.

Jan. 1855. Native name ‘ Muhondongdlo” or ‘“ Mochondongolo.”
Nos. 4282 and 4305. A low scandent shrub; leaves grass-green,
pendulous by reason of the weak petioles being always bent and
twisted in various ways: odour of the bruised branches and foliage
resembling that of Prunus Padus L., not noticed in the root, which is
recommended by the natives as an excellent remedy in the case of

officinally by the natives. This No. is referred in Welwitsch’s
herbarium, to Lawson’s variety 8, though the next species, C. rigidi-

leafless at the time of flowering. Another form of the native name
is “ Muandongélo.” The green leaves when rubbed give off the smell
of cyanic acid.
