Mr. Baker, in Fl. Trop. Afr. ii. 242, unites the two preceding under Lonchocarpus laxiflorus; but 1 
cannot help regarding the differences between them as specific. In L. laxiflorus (to which I agree with 
Mr. Baker in referring L. philenoptera, Benth., so far as north tropical specimens are concerned) the 
leaves are glabrous or very nearly so, the inflorescence generally or always terminating leafless twigs or 
the young leaves just unfolding, and the calyx-lobes are obtuse, the three anterior rotundate-ovate. In 
L. violaceus the leaves are closely hoary-tomentose on the under surface, the panicles terminate leafy 
ramuli, and the anterior calyx-teeth are lanceolate or lanceolate-deltoid. 
[Tree, with 5 ft. circ. of stem. Flowers in handsome erect clusters, sweet-scented, and attractive to 
bees. Corolla white; bark grey. The tree has the general appearance of an ill-grown and thinly 
leaved ash. Not common.—J. А. G.]
