Schumacher and Thonning describe a species of Schotia, from 
Guinea, under the name of S. simplicifolia, which is entirely 
unknown to us. 
Three species of Bawhinia are natives of West Tropical Africa; 
B. rufescens, Lam., from Senegambia, found also in South 
Africa and the Mauritius; B. Adansoniana, Guill. et Perr., and 
B. reticulata, DC., both from Senegal. The B. Thonningii, 
Schum., appears to be a variety of the latter, distinguished by 
the leaves slightly downy underneath, and the pods densely 
covered with rusty down, it occurs both in Senegal and Guinea. 
The Nubian B. tamarindacea, Delile, supposed by the authors 
of the Flora Senegambiz to be the same species, has a very dif- 
ferent pod.
