M. Fournier describes, in Ann. Sc. Nat. ser. 4. xiv. 374, A. elliptica, Fourn., between 

 A. Quartiniana and A. pallida. Leaves nearly 2 ft. long, racbis reddisb. puberulous 

 with a conspicuous gland near the base, and others between the upper pinnae ; pinnae 

 8.-jugate; leaflets in 8-42 or more pairs, elliptical with an oblique midrib, mucronulate, 

 puberulous, pale and villous beneath. Flowers villous, capitate on elongate puberulous 

 peduncles. Calyx tubular-campanulate, 5-dentate. Petals twice as long as calyx. 

 Legume 3-4 in. long, 1 in. broad, subglabrous.

13. A. coriaria, Welw. mss. Tree of small or medium size ; ex- 

 tremities, petioles, and peduncles rusty-pubescent or puberulous, some- 

 times thinly and early glabrescent. Leaf-rachis 2-9 in., with a sessile 

 gland towards the base, with or without interjugal glands above ; pinnae 

 3-6-jugate ; leaflets 6-11-jugate, elliptic-oblong, obtuse on short stout 

 petiolules of J line or less, glabrous or glabrate, subreticulate with a 

 nearly median nervure, usually § in. (<|-1 in.) long. Peduncles 1 J-3 

 (4) in. from the upper axils or fascicled in the upper leafless nodes, 

 forming terminal corymbs. Flowers capitate, 5 lines long, sessile. 

 Calyx tubular or scarcely dilated above, unequally toothed, \ in. long, 

 puberulous, the tube frequently early circumsciss at the base (at its 

 union with the disk). Bracteoles shorter than calyx, caducous in early 

 bud. Petals connate f , twice as long as calyx, " sulphur yellow." 

 Staminal tube included, nearly equalling petals ; free filaments ex- 

 Serted 1 in. or more. Legume flat as in A. Lebbek, 5-8 in. long, 

 1^-1J in. broad, straight, apiculate.

Nearly allied to A. Lebbek, in which, however, the flowers seem to be always pedi- 

 cellate, the calyx more infundibuliform and never, that I have seen, circumsciss at the 

 base, the pinnae and leaflets generally more numerous, and the legume not so long. 



14. A. angolensis, Welw. mss. Tree of 30-40 ft. with a trunk 1-2 J 

 ft. in diameter ; extremities, petioles, and peduncles shortly rusty- 

 pubescent. Leaf-rachis 3-6 in., usually with 1 or 2 sessile glands ; 

 pinnse 3-5-jugate ; leaflets 5-13-jugate, oblong, obtuse, pubescent on 

 both sides, sessile, nervure median ; J-f in. long, J-J in. broad, the 

 uppermost pair frequently smaller than the rest below. Peduncles 

 1 J-3 in. from the upper axils or corymbose, and overtopped by the 

 leaves at the extremities ; bracteoles linear, narrowed below, tomen- 

 tose, as long as or longer than the calyx, caducous or subpersistent. 

 Flowers J— j in. long, rusty-pubescent, whitish passing into yellow ; 

 subsessile. Calyx 'J in. long, toothed. Petals twice as long as calyx. 

 United base of filaments included. Legume flat, str'aight, 9-10 in. 

 long, lf-2 in. broad, very obtuse, apiculate 5 valves thin.
