Hab. S. Rhodesia. Melsetter District. Chipete forest patch, 

 alt. 3800 ft. "A fair-sized forest tree, flowers purplish pink." 



C. F. M. Sivynnertoii, no. 9 ! Herb. Mus. Brit. 



Leaf-rachis 7-0-10-0 cm. long. Terminal leaflet 7-0-8-0 cm. 

 long, 8-0-3-2 cm. broad at the broadest part. Lateral leaflets 

 rather smaller. Petiolule of lateral leaflets ± 2-2-5 mm. long. 

 Petals + 8 mm. long. 



11 A fairly large tree, of which several specimens have been 

 found, all in Chipete. The bark is dark brown and rough, and the 

 foliage dark glossy green, and the tree makes a great show when 

 covered with its handsome purplish pink flowers/' — C. F. M. S. 



*** Leaves 4-5-jugate. Leaflets oval-oblong, obtuse or shortly 



apiculate, glabrous or glabrate, 3-0-4-0 cm. long, 1-0-1'S cm.

Hab. South Africa. Kaffraria, Tyson, no. 6216 ! Herb. Kew. 



A very distinct species, noticeable on account of the rather 

 small leaflets and almost globose fruit ; very rough externally- 

 The ovary gradually attenuate to the style. 



I append a description of a closely allied plant referred to by 

 Oliver, /.c. It seems advisable to await more complete material 

 before naming it : —
