LXXVI. TRICHILIA DREGEANA, E. Mey. (Meliacee.) 
_ ‘T. Dregeana: var. 8. oblonga: foliis impari-pinnatis, foliolis 2-5- 
jJugis elliptico-oblongis obtusis utrinque glabris v. subtus ad nervos 
strigosis, paniculis axillaribus brevibus simpliciusculis, petalis utrinque 
tomentosis calyce obtuse 5-fido 4-plo longioribus, tubo-stamineo pro- 
funde 10-fido, segmentis intus hirsutissimis bidentatis apice antheriferis, 
antheris mucronulatis, capsulis? Harv. § Sond. Fl. Cap., i. p. 246. 
Has.—In woods at Port Natal, Mr. Sanderson ! (Herb. T, C. D.) 
Descr.—A tree. Young twigs, petioles and peduncles thinly pu- 
bescent. Common petiole 3-5 inches long, bearing two or more pairs 
of leaflets beyond its middle, angular and furrowed above; leaflets 
23-34 inches long, 1-2 inches broad, elliptical or oblong, obtuse at both 
ends, or slightly tapering at base, penninerved, with slightly revolute 
margins, glabrous or nearly so. Panicles scarcely branched, almost ra- 
cemose, few flowered, not half as long as the common petiole. Flowers 
subsessile. Calyx short, with 5 rounded lobes. Peta/s 5 lines long, ob- 
long, thinly silky-tomentose on both sides, spreading, deciduous, thick 
and coriaceous. Staminal-tube crown-like, divided to the middle into 
10 bifid segments, very hairy within, and antheriferous at the summit. 
Ovary 3-celled. Style columnar, rather longer than the stamens, pu- 
berulous. Stigma capitate. Capsule not seen. 
This variety differs from the normal state of the species in having 
obtuse instead of acute or sub-acuminate leaflets. They are also usually 
much broader and more oval. In other respects the agreement is com- 
plete.
