316 XLVII. § CESALPINIEEH (OLIVER). | Hardnrichia. 
ovate-cuneate, compressed, l-seeded and dehiscent in 2 valves at the 
apex ; seed exalbuminous (according to Mr. Bentham, l.c. in an Indian 
species)—Unarmed trees. Leatlets 1-3-jugate, coriaceous. Flowers 
small in terminal and axillary panicled racemes or spikes. Bracts and 
bracteoles minute. 
There are two Indian species besides the following, which is peculiar to W. Tropical 
Africa. 
1. H? Mannii, Ohv. A tree of 380-80 ft. (Mann) ; wholly glabrous, 
extremities terete, moderately stout. Leaflets unijugate or occasionally 
3-4-foliolate, coriaceous, oblong or elliptic-oblong, apex rounded or 
obtusely pointed, sliglitly rounded at base, midrib rather prominent 
beneath, often rather eccentric, reticulation not distinct; petiolules 
stout, 1-2 lines, petiole very short and thick, but 1 or 2 lines in uni- 
jugate leaves. Stipules deciduous, not observed. Flowers white, 2-3 
lines in diameter, very numerous, in panicled straight spiciform racemes 
from the upper axils and extremities. Bracts and bracteoles minute, 
squamiform. Pedicels }—1 line or less. Calyx-lobes thin, rotundate. 
Stamens 10, exserted. Ovary pilose, sessile, narrowed into the slender 
tapering style. Stigma minute, terminal. Ovule solitary (or geminate). 
Legume not seen.—Copaifera ? Mannii, Baill. in Adans. vi. 202. 
Upper Guinea. Camaroons and Kongui rivers, Vann! 
30. CYNOMETRA, Linn.; Benth. et Hook. f. Gen. Plant. i. 586. 
Calyx-tube obsolete or shortly turbinate, limb of 4 (or 5) segments, 
imbricate in wstivation, usually reflexed at flowering. Petals 5, sub- 
equal, or 2 anterior minute. Stamens 10 (or ow ), filaments filiform, free 
or very shortly cohering at base; anthers small, elliptical or rotundate, 
versatile, dehiscing longitudinally. Ovary sessile or shortly stipitate, 
style usually filiform, stigma terminal; ovules solitary or geminate. 
Legume obliquely ovoid obovoid or reniform, turgid or more or less 
compressed, usually rugose, 2-valved, l-seeded. Seed exalbuminous ; 
cotyledons large, fleshy, plano-convex.—Unarmed trees or shrubs. 
Leaves abruptly pinnate, leatlets 1-6-jugate, more or less coriaceous, 
I-nerved. Stipules caducous. Flowers small, in axillary or rarely 
terminal racemes, often very short. Bracts dry or scarious, small, de- 
ciduous; bracteoles small, in § Hymenostegia petaloid, persistent. 
A considerable Tropical genus, common to both hemispheres. None of the African 
species have been identified with any other. 
Bracteoles caducous or not petaloid nor exceeding 1-2 lines. Calyx- 
tube obsolete. Petals 5. 
Leaflets 1- (rarely 2-) jugate. Bracteoles concave, enveloping the 
early bud ee Sted Gi pe 2 gees reece ge 
Leaticts 3-jugate, with a narrow emarginate acumen. Bracteoles 
narrow, not enveloping the early bud eee Pe a es 
Bracteoles membranous petaloid persistent, 3-4 in. long. Calyx- 
tube turbinate. Two lower petals minute. 
Leaflets 4-6-jugate, trapezoidal. 2 . 2. . 2. . . . 2. . 8. O floribunda.
