shining coriaceous bluntish leaflets 12-20 lines long, 8—9 lines broad, 
rounded at the base, opaque and finely grey-velvety below, on petio- 
lules a line long. Flowers in densely congested sessile axillary panicles. 
edicels nearly obsolete. Calyx campanulate, finely brown-velvety, 
% in. deep, the deltoid teeth reaching a third down. Corolla 34 lines 
long, reddish, the keel shorter than the wines and unguiculate or- 
bicular recurved standard. Stamens equally diadelphous. Ovary linear, 
densely silky, with a distinct pedicel. Pod not seen. 
Lower Guinea. Angola; Ambaca, Dr. Welwitsch! 
ll. D. Bakeri, Wel. mss. A wide-climbing much branched shrub, 
With glabrous unarmed branches. Petiole 6—8 lines long; leaves 
3-4 in. long, with 5-7 opaque scarcely coriaceous obovate-oblong gla- 
brous bluntly pointed leaflets, 1-2} in. long by 12-16 lines broad, on 
petiolules a line or less long, the base of the terminal one cuneate, the 
veins beneath very slightly raised. Flowers in sessile axillary panicles 
much shorter than the leaves. Pedicels glabrous, 14—2 lines long. 
Calyx campanulate, glabrous, 2 lines deep, the deltoid teeth not reaching 
more than a sixth of the way down. Corolla whitish, reddish when 
dried, 3 in. long, the claws of all the petals as long as the calyx, the 
keel and wings shorter than the emarginate reflexed standard. 5Sta- 
mens equally diadelphous. Ovary linear, glabrous, with a pedicel 
nearly as long as itself. Pod not seen. 
Upper Guinea. Cameroon mountains, at 5000 feet, Mann! (Petiolules a little 
longer, and calyx-teeth deeper.)

12. D. macrosperma, Welw. mss. A wide-climbing shrub with 
unarmed finely brown-velvety branches. _Petioles 9-12 lines long’; 
leaves 4—6 in, long, with 5 coriaceous oblong or obovate bluntly 
pointed leaflets, the terminal one 2-34 in. long, 12-15 lines broad, 
the upper surface shining, the lower finely brown-velvety all over, on 
petiolules 14-2 lines long. Flowers in densely congested axillary 
panicles generally shorter than the petioles. Pedicels 4-1 line long. 
Calyx campanulate, a line deep, densely brown-velvety, the deltoid 
teeth reaching a quarter of the way down. Corolla whitish (reddish 
when dried), 4 in. deep, the claws of all the petals exceeding the calyx, 
the keel slightly shorter than the wings and standard. Stamens 
equally diadelphous. Pod oblong, reniform, 14-15 lines long, 7-8
