Notes

On level low-lying ground near pemanent swamp level but above highest floods. Soil coarsely sandy, well drained, slightly humus stained in upper layers. Dense foliaged shrub 8'high. Crown with very thick foliage and close branching. Flowers conspicious but corollas evanescent, apparently dropping very soon after opening, shining white. Calyx pale green. Very young fruits only seen, green. Bark grey-white, warty with old swollen nodes, weakly longitudinally striated. Slash (4'diam. stem) white, green-edged. Common in open parts of forest and in neighbouring termitary clumps. Here associated with D. 377,395 (macaranga?) Toddalia asiatica and young Antiaris with neighbouring trees of Erythrophleum guineense, Raphia. Herb beside shrub include Afromomum sp. Aneilaema spp., Buforrestia sp. Collected from all parts to show variation of leaf size, good floweing material very scanty owing to rapid corolla-shedding.
