Remarks.
The collector was probably Gustav Denhardt (1856-1917); one of a pair of brothers who undertook several expeditions to east Africa and were active in promoting the exploration and use of the Tana river. Gustav was still in the area in 1895, his brother having returned to Germany. Note that the Tana region may refer to the Tana river which today lies within the political boundaries of Kenya.
