but differing in the obsolete torus and pedicellate capsules.

The other W. African species of Cleome, are C. monophylla, 
Linn, and €. angustifolia, Forsk., from Senegambia, and C. 
acuta, Schum., from Guinea. i 
There are also two other West African genera of Capparidee, 
Which, however, appear confined to the dryer and more desert 
latitudes of the North Tropic, and these range from Western 
Asia westward ; these are Cadaba, of which C. farinosa is com- 
mon to Senegal, Sennaar and Arabia, and Boscia, containing 
two species, B. Senegalensis, A. Rich., and B. angustifolia, 
A. Rich, both Senegambian plants. The Streblocarpus angusti- 
Jolia of Senegal, and Crateva Guineensis, Schum. et Thonn.,
