Crateva religiosa

#241 They called me Crateva religiosa, also known as Crateva hansemannii, and Crateva brownii. I pay homage to the male botanists Hansemann (I couldn’t find his records), and Robert Brown, Clair Alan Brown, Nicholas Edward Brown, Addison Brown, Andrew Phillip Brown, or William Brown. They first catalogued me in 1786.
