Names
DANIELLIA oblonga Oliv. [family LEGUMINOSAE-CAESALPINIOIDEAE]
Information
Of this species we have not material for a complete description, but our fragmentary specimen from Barter suffices to establish specific distinction. Leaflets narrower than in D. thurifera, oblong, shortly acuminate, base very oblique, glabrous, shining and reticulate above, translucent-punctate with rounded and oval glands, 3–4 1/2 in. long, 1 1/6–1 1/2 in. broad; petiolule 1/6– 1/3 in. Calyx-tube shorter than in D. thurifera, pyriform, from insertion of the bracteoles to base of segments 4 lines. Filaments densely silky-tomentose.
Distribution
Fernando Po Upper Guinea Barter!
Notes
Mr. Barter describes it as attaining nearly 200 ft. in height. “Flowers pale blue.” I think the Daniellia referred to by Mr. Bennett (Pharm. Journ. xiv. 1855, 252) as collected by Afzelius, characterized by an obconical calyx-tube and silky filaments, may be the same species, but the flowers on the specimens contained in the Herbarium of the British Museum are detached, and I find the same form of flower associated with both forms of leaflet. Either therefore there has been some misidentification, or the forms here distinguished belong to one species.
