Discussion
Tachigalia psilophylla Harms, Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berl. 6:305. 1915.
Dwyer in transferring Harms' species cites Riedel 804, the type collection number, and a Bondar collection, saying "The glabrous to subglabrous filaments of the stamens (fide Harms), the large reniform stipules, and the very long cigarshaped fruits leave no doubt that this is a species of Dicymbe." I have examined this same material, kindly lent by the Chicago Natural History Museum, and it certainly is no known species of Dicymbe and almost surely is quite unrelated to that genus.
