- Foliola pollicaria, subtus glaucescentia. Calyx basi rotun- 
datus, medio constrictus. Stamina ut in congeneribus. 
Ovula 2-3. Legumen 4-44 poll. longum, 1-1} poll. latum,

There are two other specimens in a very imperfect state, 
which are either varieties of the preceding, or distinct species, 
differing apparently in the calyx as follows : 
B. Donii, calycis glabriuseuli basi obtusi dentibus lateralibus 
longioribus obtusis.—Sierra Leone? Don. ; 
y. Ansellii, calycis puberuli basi acutiusculi dentibus latera- 
libus brevioribus acutiusculis.—Cape Palmas, Ansell. 
2. Dalbergia pubescens, Hook. fil.; rufo-pubescens, foliolis 
5-jugis oblongis y. obovato-oblongis utrinque obtusis basi 
sepe inzqualibus, racemis axillaribus terminalibusque folio 
brevioribus, bracteolis parvis, calycis late campanulati velu- 
tini dentibus latis acutis, ovario hirsuto.—Sierra Leone, 
Don ; Senegambia, Heudelot. 
-Rami lignosi, cortice fusco, ramulis obscure angulatis. Petioli 
3-4 poll. longi, stricti. Foliola 1-2-pollicaria, coriacea, 
Obtusa v. emarginata, basi rotundata v. rarius superiora 
angustata, supra pilis sparsis puberula, subtus pilis rufis 
densius vestita. Racemi 1-11-pollicares. Pedicelli 13-lineares. 
Calyx 1 lin. longus, latiusculus, 4-dentatus, dente supe- 
riore latiore emarginato, lateralibus latis brevibus subacutis. 
Vezillum late oblongum, emarginatum, ungue gracili laminze 
equilongo; ale lineari-oblonge obtuse basi hine hamato- 
auriculatz; carina bis latior. Filamentorum tubus more 
generis bipartitus, antheris basifixis didymis. Ovarium longe 
stipitatum, pedicello piloso. 
Two other species of Dalbergia occur in Senegambia, the 
D. melanozylon, Guill. et Perr., and an apparently undescribed
