Entandrophragma, as se are obviously much more ae related 
to P. utilis and P. cylindrica, which are now known to be species 
of Entandrophragma, than to P. Kotschyi, on which the genus 
Pseudocedrela was founded. 
The distinguishing characters of Staion sets. and Pseudoce- 
drela may now be summarised as follows :— 
Entandrophragma : disk stipitiform ; dais part of staminal tube 
partitioned ; valves of the capsule not connected by a fibrous net- 
work after dehiscence ; ; cotyledons elliptic or ovate ; leaflets 
entire. 
Pseudocedrela : disk cupular; staminal tube not partitioned ; valves 
of the capsule connected by a fibrous network after dehiscence ; 
cotyledons obovate ; leaflets repand-dentate. 
The genus Age ti rane was es gi Pht De Wildemead in 
; and Entan rophragma congoense, A. Vos ‘based on 
psi collected at Eala, Congo State, by Pyhasrt (t..26, tir, 
-10; t. 77). 
As Chevalier (l.c.) has described five additional species of 
Entandrophragma, none of which is a att at Kew, it is not 
possible at the moment to give a key to the species. In view of 
their economic importance, however, it seems desirable to give an 
enumeration of those hitherto described along with their geographical 
distribution, as far as it has been ascertained. The species are 
arranged in chronological order.

surface of the leaflets being much less pilose, and the calyx rather 
larger (4°5 mm. in diameter). The differences observed do not seem 
to warrant separation as a distinct species. 
According to Mr. Dawe, this species is of considerable economic 
importance. -It is more abundant than Z£. utile, and is distributed 
over a considerable portion of the Budongo Forest at an average of 
about 1 tree to the acre.
