10. D. nitidula, Welw. mss. A tree 25-35 ft. high, with a trunk 

 1-2 ft. thick, and unarmed finely grey-velvety woody branchlets. Pe- 

 tioles woody, 6-9 lines long; leaves 3-4 in. long, with 11-13 oblong 

 shining eoriaceous bluntish leaflets 12-$0 lines long, 8-9 lines broad, 

 rounded at the base, opaque and finely grey-velvety below, on petio- 

 lules a line long. Flowers in densely congested sessile axillary panicles. 

 Pedicels nearly obsolete. Calyx campanulate, finely brown-velvety, 

 | in. deep, the deltoid teeth reaching a third down. Corolla 3J lines 

 long, reddish, the keel shorter than the wings and unguiculate or- 

 bicular recurved standard. Stamens equally diadelphous. Ovary linear, 

 densely silky, with a distinct pedicel. Pod not seen.

11. D. Bakeri, Welrv. mss. A wide-climbing much branched shrub, 

 with glabrous unarmed branches. Petiole 6-8 lines long; leaves 

 3-4 in. long, with 5-7 opaque scarcely coriaceous obovate-oblong gla- 

 brous bluntly pointed leaflets, 1-2J in. long by 12-16 lines broad, on 

 petiolules a line or less long, the base of the terminal one cuneate, the 

 veins beneath very slightly raised. Flowers in sessile axillary panicles 

 much shorter than the leaves. Pedicels glabrous, 1J-2 lines long. 

 Calyx campanulate, glabrous, 2 lines deep, the deltoid teeth not reaching 

 more than a sixth of the way down. Corolla whitish, reddish when 

 dried, | in. long, the claws of all the petals as long as the calyx, the 

 keel and wings shorter than the emarginate reflexed standard. Sta- 

 mens equally diadelphous. Ovary linear, glabrous, with a pedicel 

 nearly as long as itself. Pod not seen. 



Upper Guinea. Cameroon mountains, at 5000 feet, Mann! (Petiolules a little 

 longer, and calyx-teeth deeper.)

12. D. macrosperma, Welrv. mss. A wide-climbing shrub with 

 unarmed finely brown-velvety branches. Petioles 9-12 lines long ; 

 leaves 4-6 in. long, with 5 coriaceous oblong or obovate bluntly 

 pointed leaflets, the terminal one 2-3£ in. long, 12-15 lines broad, 

 the upper surface shining, the lower finely brown-velvety all over, on 

 petiolules 1J-2 lines long. Flowers in densely congested axillary 

 panicles generally shorter than the petioles. Pedicels J-l line long. 

 Calyx campanulate, a line deep, densely brown-velvety, the deltoid 

 teeth reaching a quarter of the way down. Corolla whitish (reddish 

 when dried), £ in. deep, the claws of all the petals exceeding the calyx, 

 the keel slightly shorter than the wings and standard. Stamens 

 equally diadelphous. Pod oblong, reniform, 14-15 lines long, 7-8 

 lines broad, almost woody, finely brown-velvety, not at all reticulated, 

 containing a single seed which nearly fills it.
