This species appears to have been first discovered by Smith 
man, and is described by M. De Candolle in the Ann . du Mus» 
vol. xvii., from his specimen. The shrub is about 5 or 6 feet 
high, erect. The leaves are oblong-lanceolate, pointed, smooth, 
entire, and waved at the margin, upon short petiols. The 
flowers are yellow, in simple, elongated, lateral racemes. The 
peduncles are short. I observed this shrub near Cape Sierra 
Leone. My specimen differs from the figure in the Ann. du 
Mus. in the leaves being much longer and narrower, and wa- 
ved on the margin.
