Treatment

Description.

Leaves with (3-)14-41 pairs of pinnae per leaf, pinna rachis 3.5-9.5 cm long. Leaflets (11-) 20-48 pairs per pinna, 3.5-12 × 0.7-3 mm.

Distribution.

Tanzania, Angola, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa (Transvaal).

Habitat and ecology.

Woodland and scrub, usually on rocky substrates, but also on alluvial soils; 120-1460 m alt.

Note.

Ross (1974, 1975a) noted that plants from the area delimited for Flora Zambesiaca (e.g. those referred to in Brenan 1970, p. 26) frequently flower when the plant is leafless, whereas those from the Transvaal produce flowers together with leaves.
