318 FLORA NIGRITIANA. 
obtuso, supra nitida, subtus sub lente interdum pilis adpres- 
sis subtilissime sericea, nervis primariis subtus prominenti- 
bus et reticulatim venulosa, petiolulo 2 lin. longo. Pani- 
cule terminales v. laterales, sepe pedales. Flores conferti 
albo-virides, pedicellis 1 lin. longis. Calyx campanulatus, 
curvatus, 2 lin. longus, dentibus obtusis. —Vezillum late 
obovatum, reflexum, basi biauriculatum, ungue gracili ; alie 
vexillo zquilongz, lineari-oblonge, obtuse ; carina paullo 
major, obtusa.  Filamentum vexillare ima basi liberum. 
Stylus fere ad apicem sericeus. Ovarium dense sericeum, 
4-ovulatum. 
A very handsome plant, the racemes and calyxes nearly black, 
with a velvety pubescence. The pod is unknown, and it is, 
therefore, doubtful whether it belongs to Lonchocarpus or 
Milletia.
