THE AFRICAN SPECIES OF ALLOPHYLUS. 



By Edmund G. Bakee, F.L.S. 



The genus Allophylus was founded by Linnaeus in 1747 in the 

 Flora Zeylanica (p. 58) on the species now known as A. zey I aniens 

 and of which the types are in Hermann's herbarium in the National 

 Herbarium. This is the only species mentioned in the Species 

 I^lantarum in 1753. The genus Schmidelia was also described by 

 Linnaeus, in 1767, in the Mantissa, and as the two are now almost 

 universally considered synonymous, the former must take precedence. 

 In 1859-60 Sender (in Harvey and Sonder's Fl. Capensis, 238) gave 

 under Schmidelia descriptions of five species, and in 1868 my father, 

 in the ^lora of Tropical Africa (i. 420), described twelve species. 

 In 1895 Dr. Radlkofer, in Engler & Prantl. Naturl. Pflanzenfamilien, 

 V. 3. 311, mentions eighteen species from Africa and Madagascar. 

 He relies for purposes of classification and an-angement primarily on 

 whether the leaves are unifoliolate or trifoliolate, and on the chai-acter
