The genus Isoberlinia, one of the three species of which is here figured, 
may be distinguished from Berlinia by the longer panicles, the smaller 
subsessile flowers with a short receptacle, and more particularly by 
the five petals being subequal, shortly unguiculate and subequal to 
or only slightly exceeding the sepals. : 
The description of the pod is added, doubtfully, from a specimen 
collected by Mr. G. C. Dudgeon at Zaria, which consists of two leaves 
and is accompanied by a sketch of the pod.—W. G. Crars. 
Fia. 1, flower with bracteoles; 2, androecium and pistil; 3 and 4, stamens;
