Besides the above, the following Albizzie have been found 
in West Tropical Africa: A. Lebbek, Benth., from Senegambia, 
a common Asiatic and Egyptian plant, perhaps cultivated in 
West Africa; A. rhombifolia, Benth., from Senegambia, which 
may not be distinct from A. glaberrima, Benth., from Guinea; 
and A. ferruginea, Benth., extending from Senegambia to 
Abyssinia. 
The Calliandra portoricensis, Benth., is described by Schu- 
macher and Thonning from Guinea, under the name of Mimosa 
Guineensis. It is a Tropical American tree, frequently cul- 
tivated for ornament in Egypt and other countries bordering 0n 
the Mediterranean, and probably introduced into Guinea. — 
Two species of Zygia complete the list of West Tropical 
African Leguminose: l. Inga Zygia, figured by De Candolle, 
and named by Walpers Zygia Brownei, although it may be 
doubtful whether Browne’s Jamaica plant be the same, an 
2. Mimosa adiantifolia, Schum. et Thonn., which appears to 
be identical with E. Meyer's South African Zygia fastigiata.
