Information
Leaves unequally pinnate; leaflets 1–7–11 or more, coriaceous, usually alternate, petiolulate, oblong-elliptical, the terminal and upper rather larger tending to obovate, obtuse with a short acumen or apiculus, entire, with a more or less distinct coriaceous marginal nerve; midrib and lateral nerves rather prominent, the reticulation confluent into more or less distinct oblique veins from the axils of the lateral nerves; 1 1/2–3 1/2(–6) in. long, 3/4–1 1/4(–3) in. broad; petiolule 1–3 lines. Panicles terminal or subterminal, erect, exceeding the leaves with successively shorter racemose lateral branches. Flowers 1 1/2–2 lines, subsessile or on short pedicels, 5-merous. Calyx cupuliform, shortly and broadly 5-toothed. Petals oblong. Stamens of male flowers 15–20; anthers linear-oblong, exceeding the filament. Ovary glabrous, narrowed into the style; stigma with 3–4 very short recurved adnate lobes. Ovule inserted near the middle of the cell.
Distribution
Congo Lower Guinea Burton!Upper Guinea River Nuñez, Senegambia!
Notes
The Congo specimens are altogether smaller and the leaflets more numerous than in the Senegambian plant, but the differences are such as station might easily occasion. I have not seen unifoliolate specimens myself. This is probably the undescribed Sorindeia africana (DC. Prod. ii. 80), referred to by R. Brown in Tuckey's Congo, App. 431.
