Has. Gathered by Heudelot in rocky situations on the 
banks of streams in the Foata Dhiallon, and by Vogel in 
Sierra Leone. 
A tree, according to Heudelot, of 12 to 15 feet in height, 
with pendulous branches and brilliant scarlet flowers. In 
‘acter, it very much resembles A. Africana, having the 
same smooth foliage, canescent inflorescence, and form and 
arrangement of flowers; but the leaves are very much smaller 
and more compact, the common stalk rarely 5 inches long; 
and the leaflets barely 3 inches; the ovate bracteas and brac- 
teole (3 to 4 lines long) often persist long after the flowers 
are opened, and the flowers themselves are very much larger, 
the claw of the petal when fully developed being above an 
a inch long. The podis unknown. G. Bentham.
