THE AFHICAX SPECIES OF ALLOPHYLUS 187 



UgaoSDa : Mabira Forest, Chagwe, Vssher 61 ! Hb. Kew. 



The noticeable features of this species are the rather thick leaflets, 

 elliptical or oval in shape, with entire margins, which do not turn 

 black or brown on drying. The thyrse is branched, the lower part 

 being bare, the branches thickly covered with medium-sized flowers. 



In some respects allied to A. Schiveinfurthii Gilg, which, how- 

 ever, when dried turns a chocolate colour.
