Singuni name, * Umkadhlwa." “А handsome tree, 80 feet high. Bark 
ochreous yellow and somewhat rough, that of the thinner branches yielding 
a milky latex. Timber yellowish white and very easily worked : it has been 
tried lately by one or two settlers in house-building and found useful for 
windows and doors. Termites and Bostrychide do not attack it. Thousands 
of seedlings spring up with the late rain, but those exposed to the sun on the 
outskirts of the forest usually die off during the ensuing dry season. Owing 
to its rapid and symmetrical growth and the beauty of its foliage, it 1s being 
planted by settlers as a shade tree."

The species of Callichilia hitherto known are large-leaved West-African 
shrubs with flowers bigger than those of their new congener. Nevertheless 
the inclusion of this plant in the genus seems advisable, at least for the
