M., Fournier describes, in Ann. Sc. Nat. sér. 4. xiv. 374, A. elliptica, Fourn., between 
A. Quartiniana and A. pallida. Leaves nearly 2 ft. long, rachis reddish puberulous 
with a conspicuous gland near the base, and others between the upper pinne ; pinne 
8-jugate; leaflets in 8-12 or more pairs, elliptical with an oblique midrib, mucronulate, 
puberulous, pale and villous beneath. Flowers villous, capitate on elongate puberulous 
peduncles. Calyx tubular-campanulate, 5-dentate. Petals twice as long as calyx. 
Legume 3-4 in. long, 1 in. broad, subglabrous. 
Abyssinia, Schimper (1854), No. 1087. I have not seen a specimen. 
13. A. coriaria, Welv. mss. Tree of small or medium size; ex- 
tremities, petioles, and peduncles rusty-pubescent or puberulous, some- 
times thinly and early glabrescent. Leaf-rachis 2-9 in., with a sessile 
eland towards the base, with or without interjugal glands above ; pinne 
3—6-jugate ; leaflets 6—11-jugate, elliptic-oblong, obtuse on short stout 
petiolules of $ line or less, glabrous or glabrate, subreticulate with a 
nearly median nervure, usually 2 in. (4-1 in.) long. Peduncles 1$-8 
(4) in. from the upper axils or fascicled in the upper leafless nodes, 
forming terminal corymbs. Flowers capitate, 5 lines long, sessile. 
Calyx tubular or scarcely dilated above, unequally toothed, 4 in. long, 
puberulous, the tube frequently early circumsciss at the base (at its 
union with the disk). Bracteoles shorter than calyx, caducous in early 
bud. Petals connate 3, twice as long as calyx, “sulphur yellow.” 
Staminal tube included, nearly equalling petals; free filaments ex- 
serted lin. or more. Legume flat as in A. Lebbeh, 5-8 in. long, 
14-1} in. broad, straight, apiculate.

Nearly allied to A. Lebbek, in which, however, the flowers seem to be always pedi- 
cellate, the calyx more infundibuliform and never, that I have seen, circumsciss at the 
base, the pinne and leaflets generally more numerous, and the legume not so long. 
14. A. angolensis, Welw. mss. Tree of 30—40 ft. with a trunk 1-2} 
ft. in diameter; extremities, petioles, and peduncles shortly rusty- 
pubescent. Leaf-rachis 3-6 in., usually with 1 or 2 sessile glands ; 
pinne 3—5-jugate ; leaflets 5-13-jugate, oblong, obtuse, pubescent on 
both sides, sessile, nervure median ; }—$ in. long, }—} in. broad, the 
uppermost pair frequently smaller than the rest below. Peduncles 
13-3 in. from the upper axils or corymbose, and overtopped by the 
leaves at the extremities; bracteoles linear, narrowed below, tomen- 
tose, as long as or longer than the calyx, caducous or subpersistent. 
Flowers }—3 in. long, rusty-pubescent, whitish passing into yellow ; 
subsessile. Calyx 3 in. long, toothed. Petals twice as long as calyx. 
United base of filaments included. Legume flat, straight, 9-10 in. 
long, 17-2 in. broad, very obtuse, apiculate ; valves thin.
