This variety is intermediate between C. senegalensis, Dacle, and C. maail- 
laris, Klotzsch. Schweinfurth No, 233 distributed as C. remotiflora, Hochst., 
is quite distinct. It differs both in the shape of the leaves and in the pods. 
The racemes in var. carinata are 3-13 em. long, shorter than in C. mavvl- 
laris, the calyx is +6 mm, long.
