FLORA NIGRITIANA. 255 
pollicaribus 6-10-nis bracteolis paucis parvis basi stipatis, 
Flores minores quam in 7. Vogelü, albi, fragrantissimi 
(ex Don). Petala semipollicaria crassiuscula, extus: siccitate 
canescentia. Calyces et genitalia T. Vogelii in omnibus nisi 
stylo ratione calycis longiore et dentibus tubi staminei (in 
flore unico a me examinàto) 20 nee 10.  Ovarii loculi 12. 
The T. heterophylla, Sm., the only species mentioned by 
Bennett in his review of the genus as from West Tropical 
Afriea, is different from either of the above. Don has likewise 
published (Gard. Dict. 1. p. 678) a T. quercifolia from Sierra 
Leone, which may possibly be the same as 7. lobata, since 
published and figured by Lindley (Bot. Reg. 1844, t. 4.) from 
the some country. This belongs to Bennett’s first division, 
although Reemer, on geographical grounds, places it in his 
genus Rutea, founded on Bennett’s second division. 
l. Melia Azederach, Linn.—M. augustifolia, Schum. Thonn. 
Beskr., p. 212.—Sierra Leone, Don, probably cultivated. 
l. Trichilia emetica, Vahl, Symb. 1. p. 81.—Goniostephanus 
tomentosus, Fenzl, Flora, 1844, p. 812.—Elkaja emetica, 
Forst. Rem. Syn. Mon. Hesperid. p. 116.—Sierra Leone, 
Herb. Hook.; Senegambia, Heudelot. Also a native of 
Nubia and Arabia. 
The 7. Prieuriana, A. Juss., from Senegambia (to which 
T. Ruppeliana, Fresen., from Abyssinia, appears closely allied) 
and an undescribed one from Senegambia are the only other 
West African species known to me, but Dr. Planchon suggests 
that the Limonia ? monadelpha, Schum. et Thonn. Beskr. p. 217. 
is probably also a Trichilia. 
l. Carapa Guineensis, Sweet, Hort. Brit. et in A. Juss. Mem. 
Mel. p. 90.—C. Touloucouna, Guill. et Perr. Fl. Seneg. 1. 
p. 128.—Touloucouna gigantea, Rem. Syn. Mon. Hesperid. 
1. p. 123.— Senegal, Sierra Leone, Don ? 
This tree produees an oil employed in making soap for 
anointing the body, as is the case with the C. Guianensis, 
which species Ad. Juss., and others who have examined the two 
plants, suspect that the African one may be a mere variety.
