THULIN, M., 1991. Another arborescent umbellifer: a new species of Steganotaenia from north‐east tropica] Africa. The new species Steganotaenia commiphoroides is described from central and southern Somalia, and south‐eastern Ethiopia. It differs from the likewise arborescent S. araliacea, widespread in tropical Africa, in, for example, its 3‐foliolate or occasionally simple leaves, leaf teeth with shorter aristae, shorter petioles and pedicels, and fruits with a pair of distinctly winged dorsal ridges.
