Combretum lasiocarpum Engler & Diels, Monographieen afrikanischer Pflanzen Familien und Gattungen 3: 96 (1899), syn. nov.— Type : Mozambique ,Zambesi R, near Boroma, fr., II.1892 , Menyhart 678 (holo-, Z; iso-, W). NOTE It is not strange that C. lasiocarpum is often confused with C. obovatum as Exell stated (1978: 158). Ŋe type specimen of C. lasiocarpum keys out without problem to C. obovatum in the Flora Zambesiaca because the fruits of the type specimen are not stiped. Ŋe fruits of the other collections cited with C. lasiocarpum in Flora Zambesiaca are stiped, and they belong either to C. mossambicense (Klotzsch) Engler or to C. andradae Exell & Garcia.
