Discussion
Cordiera triflora A. Eich. Mem. Soc. Hist. Nat. Paris 5: 222. pl. 20, fig. 2. 1830; Prodr. 4: 445. 1830. According to Bremekamp, this species is often confused with true A. edulis. He stated that the details.of the ovai-y, as depicted in the plate of Richard, are incorrect. However, the references cited both by Bremekamp and by Schumann in their respective treatments of the species refer to page 142, plate 10, figure 2, whereas the proper citation should be volume 5, page 222, plate 20, figure 2, 1830.
