gregarious shrub 6-8 feet high, et-ems hardly "5 in. in diara,, with black 
IcMticellcd bark, beaiing a terminal tuft of leaves and having small 
nodular tlowcr-boariu^ projections in the axils ol loaf-scars along the

i-acltis tawny- pubescent as are the petioliiles and the setaceous persistent 
stipels ; leaflets thinly membranous glabrous on both surfaces, la^Drftl 
nerves in 5-7 ascending pairs impressed above very pi-ominent like the 
midrib benetith J lowest pair 2 in. long 1'25 in. across^ terminal and 
npper pairs 6 in. long 2 in. wide. Calyx "2 in., glabrescent. Corolla 
(only withered specimens seen) apparently pink, standard apparently 
anricled. Pod solitary, at intervals along the stem, in. long, *6 in.

A very distiuct apeciea with leavoa much like those of the African Miltetlia 
itiacraphylla Ilook. f.^ but with fewer lateral norves. It differa from all otlior known 
species in having Bolitary fruita {and apparently solitary Ho wore) ia the nxils of old 
leaf-flcars along the stem. The standard seems to he aurioled, hut whether the 
Btamotia uro monadelphous or diadclphous cannot jet bo said.

Sta^iien^ monadelplious, the upper filament free low down ; anthers 
oblong, versatile. Ovary snbsessile, 2-ovuled; style incurved, glabrous, 
fitigma capitate. Pod woody, somewhat turgid, oblong, indehiscent, not
