442 FLORA NIGRITIANA. 
ramis crassis euneato-dilatatis emarginato-bilobis. Ovula in 
loculis solitaria, pendula. 
1. Diospyros Senegalensis, Perr. in DC. Prod. 8. p. 234?—On 
the Quorra, at Stirling, and in Fernando Po, Vogel; Sene- 
gambia, Heudelot. 
The specimens from these three different localities may belong 
to distinct species, but, if so, they are insufficient to distinguish 
them. The Quorra specimen, in leaf, with a portion of a 
single fruit, agrees best with De Candolle’s description; that 
from Fernando Po has only a few small leaves, with the re- 
mains of the calyx after the fruit has fallen off. The Senegal 
specimen in the Hookerian Herbarium, has smaller and less 
coriaceous leaves than those mentioned in the Prodromus, but 
they are younger. It is a branch of a male plant in bud: the 
flowers are in axillary bunches of three or four, with a short 
quadrifid calyx, and about twelve stamens. à :
