Notes
[Note that the W. African plants differ from the Indian and most of the E. African in having narrower, glabrescent or glabrous fruits and less congested racemes, but the British Cameroons plant differs from the others from W. Africa in leaf shape, size and pubescence. Various extremes have been recognized as species, though these are of doubtful value.]
