-Hab. Madi, flowers and young fruit, Dec. 1862, Col. Grant! Mr. Hiern identifies an 
Abyssinian and Angolan plant with this. 
[Tree. The branches have the remains of the petioles upon them like palm-stems. Тһе leaflets, of a 
pale green, have fringed edges. In young shoots the wood is easily pulled out of the bark ; and they are 
converted into whistles by goatherds. Our men say that this is а bad tree; for with a branch of it in 
the hand of а robber, he can steal cattle, rob a house, ог do any mischief unperceived. Im flower, Madi, 
December. Native name “ meeonga pembeh > = Meeonga's whistle.—J. А. G.]
