reticulate above, translucent-punctate with rounded and oval glands, 
3-44 in. long, 14-14 in. ea petiolule 4-4} in. Calyx-tube shorter 
than in D. thurifera, pyriform, from insertion of the bracteoles to base 
of segments 4 lines. Filaments densely silky-tomentose. 
Upper Guinea. [Fernando Po, Barter! 
Mr. Barter describes it as attaining nearly 200 ft. in height. ‘‘ Flowers pale blue.” 
I think the Daniellia referred to by Mr. Bennett (Pharm. Journ. xiv. 1855, 252) as 
collected by Afzelius, characterized by an obconical calyx-tube and Silky filaments, may 
be the same species, but the flowers on the specimens contained in the Herbarium of 
the British Museum are detached, and I find the same form of flower associated with 
both forms of leaflet. Hither therefore there has been some misidentification, or the 
forms here distinguished belong to one species.

§ Euafzelia. 
Calyx-tube narrowly infundibuliform or cylindrical, limb 4-partite, seg- 
ments entire, subequal or inner pair slightly longer, imbricate. Vexillum 
exceeding (sometimes many times) the calyx, clawed, lamina bilobate or 
subentire; lateral and anterior petals minute squamiform or 0, Perfect 
stamens 7, filaments elongate, very shortly coherent at the base ; anthers 
versatile, oblong, eee ae longitudinally ; staminodia 2, subulate or 
filiform, one at each side of the vexillum ; posterior stamen 0. Ovary 
shortly stipitate, narrowed above into the slender style; ovules 8-10 or 
more. Legume oblong elliptic- or obovate-oblong, 2-valved, several- 
seeded ; valves thick, woody, smooth or nearly so externally, with trans- 
verse cellular or spongy septa internally separating the seeds. Seeds 
(in well-ascertained species) large, oblong or ellipsoidal, smooth, black, 
with a large cupuliform closely investing scarlet or yellow arillus in- 
vesting the lower third——Unarmed trees. Leaves abruptly pinnate. 
Stipules not observed. Flowers in terminal simple or panicled racemes. 
Bracteoles inserted on the pedicel at the base of the calyx-tube, shorter 
than the bud, caducous or falling by the time of expansion. 
The following species are confined to Africa :— 
Bracts 4—} in., deciduous but little before or at flowering, reflexed. 
Vexillum 4-6 times as iong as calyx... . . 3... J. As bracteata. 
Bracts 1-2 lines, very early caducous. Vexillum 2~3 times as long 
as calyx. 
Leaflets usually apiculate. Racemes panicled. Calyx-segments

Leaflets 3—5-jugate, thinly coriaceous, glabrous, shining, with subpro- 
minent reticulation above, paler or subglaucous beneath, oval-oblong, 
narrowly elliptical or obovate-oblong, obtuse often minutely emargi- 
nate, occasionally broadly and obtusely pointed, entire or obscurely 
undulate, 2-44 in. long, 1-1} in. broad ; pees 1-1} lines. Flowers 
(scarlet and fragrant according to Heudelot) in terminal simple or pani-
