the narrower strictly erect petals, and the rounded obtuse instead of 
acute leaf-tips ; bark whitish ; trunk 1 to 1} ft. in diameter at the base ; 
branches patent, more or less smooth-whitish, as well as the branch- 
lets dilated-tumid at the nodes; leaves coriaceous, glossy and deep 
green above, pallid beneath ; petals thick ; stamens 2. In little woods,

Go.LuNnGo ALTO.—A tall tree, 50 to 80 or 100 ft. high or more ; trunk 
2 to 3 ft. in diameter at the base, bare of branches half way up, then 
with numerous primary suberect branches; the secondary branches 
and branchlets patent or even nodding and pendulous, arranged 
irregularly ; branchlets much compressed and flattened towards the 
insertion of the leaves ; leaves opposite, thinly chartaceous-coriaceous, 
bright green and glossy above, but little paler beneath, smooth on 
both faces, borne on variously curved or reflected long flaccid petioles 
and therefore pendulous, apparently evergreen ; flowers arranged in 
terminal trichotomous panicles ; pedicels and common peduncles quad- 
rangular; calyx shortly cyathiform-campanulate, 4-toothed, green, 
bracteate at the base ; bracts ovate-lanceolate, furfuraceous ; corolla 
white, gamopetalous, hypogynous, some deciduous after fertilisation of 
the ovary ; the tube very short ; the limb equal, quadrifid ; the lobes 
valvate in estivation ; stamens 4, inserted on the throat of the corolla, 
exserted, equal; anthers yellow, introrse, large, 2-celled ; the cells 
distant, dehiscing longitudinally ; style terminal, short, robust, whitish- 
green ; stigma thick, cubical-capitate. In the denser primitive forests, 
by the cataract of the river Cuango, near Sange, sporadic ; fl. Aug., 
young fr. Oct. 1855. No. 945. A small, probably a young tree, 6 ft.
