520 FLORA NIGRITIANA. 
The Myrianthus arborescens, Beauv., from Benin, is conjec- 
tured by Trécul to be allied to Dicranostachys. The Treculia 
Africana, Decaisne, belonging to the same tribe, is from Senegal 
only.

* The description of the species belonging to the old genus of Ficus 
is by Dr. Miquel, to whom we are indebted for an elaborate and careful 
monograph of this most difficult group. It is only to be regretted that 
he had not left so natural and readily-recognised a genus entire, giving 
sectional names only to his otherwise excellent divisions. I have here, 
however, followed his own words, only reducing his admeasurements of ` 
centimetres and millimetres, for conformity sake, into inches and lines.
