Hab. Balle, on Suarra Kunda creek, in Jokadu district, north bank of 

 the Gambia (Lester, n.28, n.53, n.65). The other locality given by Lester 

 is now on the French side of the boundary-line. Tauberl does not give 

 any locahties; not having seen, probably, the paper in the Kew Bulletin, 

 where the plant is referred to as «Grotalaria n. sp., near anthyllopsis ». 

 Lester says it is a creeper, 10 feet long. The spécimens in Herb. Kew. 

 include only the upper parts of the flowering stems, which accounts for 

 Taubert saying that it is an annual plant of about 4 dem. high.
