Е. G. BAKER: POLYPETALZE. 39 
Distrib. Nile Land, Upper Guinea and Arabia, also Natal. There is а type 
of this species from Forskàl in the National Herbarium. In the true plant 
the leaves are subdensely pilose below. 
М. 583 а from the Kurumadzi River is closely allied to the above. The 
Chindao name of this is * Musikini,’ Singuni * Umkuhlu." N. 583 а1за 
large tree with dense spreading crown of dark glossy leaves and a trunk 
sometimes 3 ft. or more in diameter, height up to 80 ft. Both in bark and 
in general growth and height it differs absolutely from T. chirindensis.

A large tree with shady foliage, growing on the banks of the river ; the 
flowers were already dry, the tree having been caught evidently by the grass- 
fires when in flower ; the upper branches were bearing young fruits resembling 
those of n. 1 (T. chirindensis). 
A closely allied plant, n. 584, was obtained on the Sabi River at 1000 ft. 
on the 9th of November. It nearly agrees with the above in the structure 
of the flowers, but differs in having the leaflets obtuse. 
Allied to T. strigulosa, Welw. ; differs in the leaves having generally five 
pairs of leaflets and being subtomentose or pubescent, hardly villous, below, 
and in the shorter and broader petals.
