Hab. Chirinda Forest, alt. 3700—4000 ft. ; n. 1. Native name “ Umkuhlu." 
One of the largest forest trees. Flowers dull white. Bark smooth, light 
grey, tinged with pink. 
Arbor usque ad 40 m. attingens Sept.—Oct. florens. Folia 15-30 em. longa. 
Foliola 10-14:0 em. longa; foliolorum petioluli 4-5 mm. longi. Calyx 
+4 mm. longus. Petala +15 mm. longa, +4 mm. lata. Tubus stamineus 
cum laciniis +1°0 em. longus.  Anthere +2 mm. longs. Stylus cum 
ovario vix 9 mm. longus. 
This species differs from 7. vestita, C. DC., in the nearly polysepalous 
calyx—the leaves, which are glabrous below—the less hairy style—the larger 
stigma—and the glabrous teeth of the lacinie. From 7. Stuhlmanni, Harms, 
in the broader leaflets and the nearly polysepalous and larger calyx. From 
T. Dregei, E. Meyer, in the leaves not being acuminate at the apex. From 
T. Птеде, E. Meyer, B oblonga, Harvey, in the longer lateral leaflets. 
К. 1119 from Bunda River, not in flower, is probably also a Trichilia. 
It is a tree growing in a patch of forest. 
“One of our finest forest trees, and with its spreading head of dark glossy 
leaves it is one of the best shade trees. It is far larger Шап Zrichilia 
emetica, Vahl, reaching in the forest a height of 120 feet or more, with a 
trunk diameter of as much as 7 ft. 6 in. and a spread of crown of 60 ft. or 
more. The timber is reddish brown in colour and easily worked, and is on 
this account a favourite with the natives, who display some skill in carving it 
into pillows, spoons, «е. The trunk usually runs up to a considerable height 
before branching.” 
The following clavis shows the position of these novelties with regard to 
their allies :—
