18 SOUTH NIGERIAN PLANTS 
stamineo glabro quam petalis parum breviori ; antheris oblongis ; 
ovario glabro sursum in stylum glabrum attenuato, stigmate 
discoideo. A G. nigerica floribus minoribus et ovario glabro recedit. 
Oban; n. 1281. 
Shrub about 7 metres high (fide Mrs. Talbot). Leaflets distal 
12-13 em. long, 3:7-4:8 cm. broad, proximal 4:5 em.-7:5 cm. long, 
2:8-3:2 cm. broad. Panicle t 15 cm. long. Calyz tube + 1mm. long. 
Petals about 4-5 mm. long. Staminal tube about 4 mm. long. 
Anthers + 1 mm. long. 
Very closely allied to Guarea leptotricha Harms. It differs prin- 
cipally in the much shorter hairs on the leaf-rachis, in the longer 
and narrower leaflets, and the smaller calyx.

Guarea nigerica Bak. fil sp. nov. Frutex; foliis impari- 
pinnatis ; foliolis 7 breviter petiolulatis vel subsessilibus cuneato- 
obovatis foliolis proximalibus minoribus oblongo-ovatis omnibus in 
acumen abrupte attenuatis nervis lateralibus in foliolis distalibus 
utrinque 15-20 in proximalibus paucioribus petiolo communi 
puberulo; floribus albis in paniculam racemiformam dispositis ad 
ramos abbreviatos paniculae glomerulatim digestis ; calycis tubo 
campanulato dentibus acutis vel subobsoletis ; petalis 5 lineari- 
oblongis calyce 3-4-plo longioribus ; tubo stamineo glabro sursum 
parum angustato ; antheris 10 parvis ellipticis ; ovario stipitato 
sursum in stylum attenuato stigmate late discoideo ; fructu ignoto. 
Ab Heckeldora latifolia Pierre differt ovario pubescente. 
Oban ; n. 1350. 
Shrub 3-7 metres high (fide Mrs. Talbot). Leaflets, distal 
14-20 cm. long, 5-7:5 cm. broad, proximal 7:0-7:5 cm. long, 
3-4 em. broad, petiolules 1-2 mm. long, common petiole + 20 cm. 
long. Rachis of inflorescence + 30 em. long, lateral branches 
5-15 mm. long. Calyx 2:5-8:0 mm. long, puberulous. Petals 8-9 
mm. long. Staminal tube 6-7 mm. long. Anthers -'75 mm. long. 
Ovary pubescent, unilocular, stipe inflated at the middle, parietal 
placentas 2 each, bearing 2 collateral ovules. 
I have followed Dr. Harms in considering the genus Heckeldora 
Pierre as synonymous with Guarea. 
Guarea glomerulata Harms var. nov. obanensis Bak. fil 
Verisimiliter frutex ; foliis multijugis, foliolis oblongis basi cune- 
atis apice acuminatis petiolulatis ; floribus quam in typo majoribus ; 
calyce hirsuto saepius 4-dentato; petalis 4 oblongis; antheris 8 
paullulo infra apicem tubi insertis ; ovario extus dense hirsuto ; 
stigmate discoideo. 
Oban ; nn. 1280-1285. 
Leaflets about 12 in number, distal 15-16 em. long, 4-5 em. broad ; 
proximal shorter 10-13 cm. long, 4:5-50 em. broad. Calyz + 2:5 cm. 
long. Petals 9-10 mm. long, longer than in the type. Staminal tube 
+ 8 mm. long. Anthers 8, 1:0-1:9 mm. long.
