18 SOUTH KIGEETAN PLANTS 



stamineo glabro qviam petalis parum breviori ; antheris oblongis ; 

 ovario glabro sursum in stylum glabrum attenuato, stigmate 

 discoideo. A G. nigerica floribus minoribus et ovario glabro recedit. 



Oban; n. 1281. 



Shrub about 7 metres high (fide Mrs. Talbot). Leaflets distal 

 12-13 cm. long, 3 '7-4 -3 cm. broad, proximal 4-5 cm.-7-5 cm. long, 

 2-3-3"2 cm. broad. Panicle ± 15 cm. long. Calyx tube ± 1 mm. long. 

 Petals about 4-5 mm. long. Stamina! tube about 4 mm. long. 

 Anthers + 1 mm. long. 



Very closely allied to Guarea Icptotriclia Harms. It differs prin- 

 cipally in the much shorter hairs on the leaf-rachis, in the longer 

 and narrower leaflets, and the smaller calyx. 



[Flowers creamy-pink ; centre cream. — P. A. T.] 



Guarea nigeriea Bak. fil. sp. nov. Frutex ; foliis impari- 

 pinnatis ; folioUs 7 breviter petiolulatis vel subsessilibus cuneato- 

 obovatis foliolis proxinjalibus minoribus oblongo-ovatis omnibus in 

 acumen abrupte attenuatis nervis lateralibus in foliolis distalibus 

 utrinque 15-20 in proximalibus paucioribus petiolo communi 

 puberulo ; floribus albis in paniculam racemiformam dispositis ad 

 ramos abbreviates paniculae glomerulatim digestis ; calycis tuho 

 campanulato dentibus acutis vel subobsoletis ; petalis 5 lineari- 

 oblongis calyce 3-4-plo longioribus ; tuho stamineo glabro sursum 

 parum angustato ; antheris 10 parvis ellipticis ; ovario stipitato 

 sursum in stylum attenuato stigmate late discoideo ; frucfu ignoto. 

 Ab Heckeldora latifolia Pierre differt ovario pubescente. 



Oban ; n. 1350. 



Shrub 3-7 metres high (fide Mrs. Talbot). Leaflets, distal 

 14-20 cm. long, 5-7 '5 cm. broad, proximal 7 '0-7 "5 cm. long, 

 3-4 cm. broad, petiolules 1-2 mm. long, common petiole ± 20 cm. 

 long. Eachis of inflorescence + 30 cm. long, lateral branches 

 5-15 mm. long. Calyx 2- 5-3*0 mm. long, puberulous. Petals 8-9 

 mm. long. Staminal tube 6-7 mm. long. Anthers • 75 mm. long. 

 Ovary pubescent, unilocular, stipe inflated at the middle, parietal 

 placentas 2 each, bearing 2 collateral ovules. 



I have followed Dr. Harms in considering the genus Hecheldora 

 Pierre as synonymous with Guarea. 



Guarea glomerulata Harms var. nov. obanensis Bak. fil. 

 Verisimiliter frutex ; foliis multijugis, foliolis oblongis basi cune- 

 atis apice acuminatis petiolulatis ; floribus quam in typo majoribus ;

 paullulo infra ai^icem tubi insertis ; ovario extus dense hirsute ; 

 stigmate discoideo. 



Oban ; nn. 1280-1285.

 proximal shorter 10-13 cm. long, 4-5-5'0 cm. broad. Calyx ±2-5 cm. 

 long. Petals 9-10 nmi. long, longer than in the type. Staminal tube 

 + 8 mm. long. Anthers 8, 1 • 0-1 • 2 mm. long.
