REMARK

The two plants were referred to Benthamia africana (Perrier’s handwriting on specimens in 1932, later changed into Benthamia sp. in 1939) but again are outside of the distribution range of this species. The size is even smaller than that of Benthamia decaryana sp. nov. and the leaves are different. Further study and field observations are necessary.
