Hab. Oware. P. de Beauvois. There is a peculiar rigidity 

 in the whole of the foliage of this species. The margins of 

 the leaves and stipules are rough with little prickles pointing 

 forwards. The figure of Pal. de Beauvois is tolerably charac- 

 teristic of our plant, and the leaf is represented with a mucro ; 

 but the description is lamentably deficient.
