| Stapfiella lucida | |
Stapfiella lucida is a shrub native to Burundi, Congo, Rwana, and Zaïre. [1] It reaches heights of 1.5 – 3 meters high, shiny 4–5 cm leaves that cluster at the top of branches, yellowish white homostylous flowers, and chestnut colored seeds. [2] [3] [4]
Varieties
There are currently two accepted varieties of S. lucida, var. lucida and var. pubescens ( Verdc.). [5]
Variety pubescens is restricted to the wet tropics of Burundi. [6] It differs from var. lucida as it has less acuminate capsule and more densely pubescent capsule. [7] Prior to the discovery of var. pubescens, S. lucida had not been documented in Burundi. [7] Var. pubescens is endangered. [8]
