Information
Shrub or small tree 1.2–10 m. high, unarmed, usually with very rough bark. Young branchlets glabrous. Leaves variable; pinnase (1–)3–9 pairs; tendrils absent; leaflets (8–)10–24 pairs, oblong-elliptic, obovate-oblong or linear-oblong, 0.9–4.5 cm. long, 0.3–1.3(–l.5) cm. wide, rounded and sometimes slightly mucronate at apex, glabrous or occasionally ± puberulous on both surfaces; midrib ± central from shortly above leaflet-base. Racemes shortly supra-axillary, 1–4 together, sometimes aggregated on short lateral shoots, 6.5–15 cm. long (including the 0.6–2(–5) cm. long peduncle); axis glabrous or subglabrous, rarely pubescent; pedicels 1(-l.5) mm. long. Flowers yellowish to whitish, sweetly scented. Calyx glabrous, 0.75–1.25 mm. long. Petals 1.5–3 mm. long. Stamen-filaments 4–5 mm. long. Pods up to about 38 cm. long, 5–7.3 cm. wide, straight or nearly so, sub-coriaceous, joints conspicuously umbonate in centre. Seeds 12 mm. long, 9–10 mm. wide.
Range
DISTR. U1 Senegal and the Sudan to the French Cameroons, Belgian Congo and Uganda
Distribution
UGANDA Acholi District Awach, Mar. 1935, Eggeling 1663!
Notes
Greenway & Eggeling 7232 (EA!, K!) from Uganda, West Nile District, Payida, has 3–9 pairs of pinnae, 14–22 pairs of leaflets 1–2.4 cm. long, 0.25–0.75 cm. wide and puberulous on both sides, the midrib in most leaflets being subcentral, but in some nearer the upper margin; the inflorescence-axes are sparingly pubescent. It is difficult to know whether to refer this to E. africana or E. abyssinica, and I suspect it to be a hybrid between these two. Observations in the field are desired on their behaviour when growing together. Mr. F. White informs me that another gathering intermediate between these two species has been made in Uganda, Acholi District, Imatong Mts., Eggeling 806 (FHO). This specimen has 17 pairs of pinnae and about 30 pairs of rather large leaflets.
