An important timber tree, common and widely distributed in

 timbers in the Entebbe district; and Moon (Herb. Kew.) states 

 that in Kavirondo it forms a very fine timber tree, up to TO ft. 

 high ; and that the wood takes a beautiful polish and is used by 

 the natives for making stools and for hut slabs. 



The corolla is of a rich yellow colour, with the lower lobes 

 striped on the inside with red. (Wilson.)
