Additional Information
- Name Authority:
- Benth.
- Vernaculars:
- Kimbundu: Kissadi
- Misc:
- Kissadi Dias gives the spelling as kissari; however, this is an inaccurate transliteration of the word because, in Kimbundu, the local language of the region, the "r" sound doesn't exist and the "d" sound can be perceived like an "r".
