Liberia: Within 6 miles of Monrovia (Whyte); near the St. Paul's 
River, 60 miles inland (Reynolds). Also in Sierra Leone (Smeathman). 
It is the fruit of the latter which was described by Dryander as baccate 
in a note in the herbarium of the British Museum.

Professor Engler mentions, in „Natürliche Pflanzenfamilien*, Nachtr. 
p. 143, under Opilia a species with long pendulous racemes which he 
calls ©. Afzelii. It is evidently a species of Urobotrya, but, in the absence 
of a description, I am not able to identify it. Another species of the 
same genus was collected by Kalbreyer near Vietoria, Cameroons. 
I add here its description:
