Allied to A. Zenker i Gilg. The papyraceous leaflets when dried are silvery brown 

 and smaller; petiole glabrous; thyrse 10 — 20 cm long, longer than the leaves, in the 

 upper portion fairly densely floriferous; buds globose, small, pubescent.

Uganda: Mabira Forest, Ghagwe, Ussher n. 61! Hb. Kew. 

 The noticeable features of this species are the rather thick leaflets, elliptical or 

 oval in shape, with entire margin, which do not turn black or brown on drying. The 

 thyrse is branched, the lower part being bare, the branches thickly covered with 

 medium-sized flowers. » 



In some respects allied to A. Schweinfurthii Gilg, which, however, when dried 

 turns a chocolate colour.

Uganda: tvivuvu, Dummer n. 552! Hb. Mus. Brit. 



Small tree, 30 feet. Flowers creamy, arranged in few flowered cymules. Noticeable 

 on account of the nearly glabrous, papyraceous, rhombeo-elliptical leaves and branching 

 thyrse, which altogether measures 8 — 12 cm and is about the same length as the petiolas 

 or slightly longer.
