Mr. Jenman describes this as a large forest tree, producing abundance 
of milk, and associated by the ndians with ‘*toukpong.” In th 
absence of flowers, and from the oe of the seeds, there is a 
doubt about the genus. Possibl me modifications of the generic 
limits may arise out of the hie tah of these investigations.—
