DAWEANE IN UGANDA LECT. 525 
subcarinatum, 18 mm. longum, 8 mm. latum badium ; hilum 
subbasilare. 
Bugoma Forest, 1140-1200 m., Dawe, 724; Toro, Kibale 
Forest, 1350 m., Dawe, 509. 
From the material available it is impossible to say whether 
this is merely a sexual (female) state of Mimusops ugandensis or 
an independent form; possibly even a distinct species. The 
Bugoma tree is said to attain a height of 24 m., and the Toro 
tree is described as a “large, erect tree." This species is 
referred to in Dawe's * Report,’ p. 14, by a slip as Mimusops 
toroensis, Stapf.
