216 MR. S. T. DUNN: A REVISION 
ANGOLA (cultivated), Gossweiler, 491 (Loanda) ; St. Thomé, Quintas, 113. 
As a shade-tree in towns and villages it is commonly cultivated throughout 
and beyond its natural range. Mr. Gossweiler tells me that in Angola it 
is a favourite tree for forming avenues along new roads, on account of its 
beauty during flowering-time and the ease with which it can be propagated. 
Large branches up to 3 inches thick, severed from the trees and planted in 
the ground, will root and be in leaf again ina month or two. Baker in 
revising the Milletiias for the ‘Flora of Tropical Africa, did not dis- 
tinguish Baillon’s M. (отапа from Robinia Thonningi’, and, as the abun- 
dant material now available proves the former to be a Lonchocarpus, his 
synonymy and geographical distribution have to be restricted. An unfailing 
mark of distinction of M. Thonningii from all allied species is the small 
brush of hairs at the base of the midrib below its otherwise glabrous 
leaflets.
