A small tree, ± 4 m. high. Rachis 12-18 cm. long, only 

 winged in the 1-2 distal segments. Leaflets 6*0-7-5 cm. long, 

 ± 3*0 cm. broad. Bracts 4-5 mm. long. Calyx ± 5 mm. long. 

 Petals Ungulate spathulate, ± 1-3 cm. long. The stigma in this 

 plant is larger than in B. Tysoniana Oliver. 



The leaflets are inclined to be oblong, not tapering so much to 

 both extremities as in i?. paullinioides Baker; the bracts are very 

 much longer and narrower than those in the type from Sierra 

 Leone. 



Welwitsch no. 1695, from Golungo Alto, and no. 1696, from 

 Queta, differ in their larger leaflets and entire margins. 



****** Leaves 7-10-jugate. Leaflets oblong-lanceolate, glaucous 

 above scattered hairs below, 10-14 cm. long, 4-5 cm. broad.
