oblong or obovate-oblong, subcoriaceous, glabrous, blunt or often re- 
tuse, rounded at the base, the veins beneath slightly raised ; the upper 
14-2 in. long. Flowers in copious subcorymbose axillary and terminal 
panicles, the former much shorter than the leaves. Pedicels 3-1 line 
long, subglabrous. Calyx 4 in. deep, subglabrous, the oblong-deltoid 
teeth reaching nearly halfway down. Corolla whitish or rose-coloured, 
twice the calyx. Pod 3-4 in. long, 12-15 lines broad, quite smooth, 
pedicellate.

7. D. bracteolata, Baker. A wide-climbing shrub with slender 
perfectly glabrous grey-dotted branches. Stipules linear-lanceolate, 
4-5 lines long, deciduous. Petioles 6-12 lines long; leaflets 9-11, 
ovate, on a rachis 3-5 in. long, coriaceous, glabrous, narrowed gradu- 
ally from the middle to an acute point, the veinlets beneath not raised. 
Flowers in copious subcorymbose terminal and axillary panicles. Brac- 
teoles membranous, lanceolate, 14-2 lines long, remaining till the 
flowers expand. Lower pedicels } in. long. Calyx campanulate, pe 
brous, # line long, the teeth deltoid. Corolla twice the calyx. od 
pointed, 18-21 lines long, 6-7 lines broad, quite smooth, narrowed at 
the base into a pedicel quite half an inch long.

8. D. pubescens, Hook. f. Fl. Nigr. 315, A wide-climbing shrub, 
with woody slender branchlets clothed with fine ferruginous pubescence. 
Petioles very short; rachis 3-8 in. long; leaflets 11—21, shortly- 
stalked, oblong, rounded at both ends, 1—2 in. long, 6—9 lines broad, 
coriaceous, the under surface finely pubescent with raised main-velns. 
Flowers in dense axillary and terminal panicles, the former muclt 
shorter than the leaves. "Pedicels densely brown-velvety, 4 line long. 
Calyx 2 in. deep, finely pubescent, the teeth deltoid. Corolla reddish- 
yellow, becoming paler with age, } in. long, the keel much shorter than 
the standard and wings. Stamens equally diadelphous. Pod oblong, 
membranous, 24 in. long by half as broad.—Benth. loc. cit. 47.

Animperfect specimen, gathered by Dr. Kirk in Zambesi land, probably represents 
a new Species nearly allied to it. The young leaves and branches are densely grey- 
velvety, and the calyx and corolla, though similar in structure, are considerably 
larger. 
9. D. Afzelii, Baker. Branches glabrous, woody, terete. Petioles 
4-8 in. long, the rachis 14-2 in.; leaflets 15-19, oblong, short- 
stalked, 4—5 lines long, 2 lines broad, both ends rounded, conspicu- 
ously emarginate, coriaceous, both sides glabrous, veins not raised. 
Flowers in few-flowered panicles shorter than the leaves. Calyx 2 lines 
deep, glabrous, teeth lanceolate, not reaching more than a quarter of 
the way down. Corolla not seen. Immature pod 14-2 in. long, 4 lines
