The species of this group, the section Stenocarpe of Engler 
and Diels, are not easy to define. In general appearance the 
species here described most approaches the Senegambiau Z. macro- 
ptera, Guill. et Perr., but the remarkable extension of the lamina 
to the base of the petiole as a narrow wing, and the broader 
fruit-wing, leave no doubt of its distinctness. Unfortunately, 
flowering specimens were not obtained.
