Leone and Cape Coast, Vogel; Guinea. 
These Specimens also are in fruit only, they agree, however, 
with Thonning’s description. The old leaves become smooth 
even underneath in some specimens, in others they are pubescent 
underneath. The corymb is dense, but when in fruit cannot be 
called globose. The seeds are hemispherical, plane on the 
inner surface, with the albumen hollowed out as in P. neuro- 
carpa.
