Abstract

As outlined by Grolle (1989), A. abyssinica belongs to the distinctive subgenus Brachyblepharis along with two other African species, A. africana (Mont.) Evans and A. dissoluta (Steph.) Grolle. The last two species are characterised by their typically paroecious condition, whereas A. abyssinica is autoecious with androecia on both broad terminal and stipitate-based ventral branches.
