Tree to shrub, 10-15 m tall, d.b.h. up to 35 cm; stilt roots or buttresses absent, often several stemmed, not fluted. Indumentum of simple hairs; old leafless branches glabrous, young foliate branches pubescent. Leaves: petiole 1-4 mm long, 1-2 mm in diameter, densely pubescent, grooved, blade inserted on the side of the petiole; blade 3.6-17.5 cm long, 1.2-6.5 cm wide, ovate to obovate, apex rounded to obtuse, rarely acuminate, acumen 1 cm long, base cuneate to cordate, coriaceous, below pubescent when young, glabrous when old, above pubescent when young, glabrous when old, concolorous; midrib impressed, above pubescent when young, glabrous when old, below pubescent when young, glabrous when old; secondary veins 6 to 14 pairs, below; tertiary venation reticulate. Individuals bisexual; inflorescences ramiflorous on young foliate branches, more rarely cauliflorous, axillary. Flowers with 9 perianth parts in 2 whorls, 1 to 3 per inflorescence; pedicel sessile or short up to 2 mm long, ca. 2 mm in diameter when present, densely pubescent; in fruit 2-4 mm long, 1-2 mm in diameter, sparsely pubescent; bracts 5 to 6, several basal and two (sometimes fused) towards the upper half of pedicel, basal bracts ca. 5 mm long, ca. 4 mm wide; upper bracts ca. 5 mm long, ca. 4 mm wide; sepals 3, valvate, free, 4-7 mm long, 3-6 mm wide, ovate, apex acute, base truncate, brown, densely pubescent outside, glabrous inside, margins flat; petals basally fused, tube 3-4 mm long, inner and outer whorl not differentiated, sub equal; lobes 9-27 mm long, 3-7 mm wide, elliptic, apex rounded, cream, margins wavy, pubescent outside, pubescent inside, lobes curving inwards at the base and margins reflexed forming a hollow chamber; stamens numerous, 1-2 mm long, elongated; connective discoid, glabrous, cream-yellow; staminodes absent; carpels free, 2 to 7, ovary 2-3 mm long, stigma divided into two lobes with margins coiled inwards, pubescent. Monocarps stipitate to sessile, stipes 22-46 mm long, 13-22 mm in diameter, ellipsoid to cylindrical, apex rounded, sparsely pubescent, warty, constricted around the seeds, orange when ripe; seeds 2 to 8 per monocarp, 10-15 mm long, 7-10 mm in diameter, flattened ellipsoid; aril absent. Distribution. A widespread species, known from Senegal to northern South Africa, with a disjunct population in southern Angola; in Cameroon known from the North and Far-North regions. Habitat. A common species in drier regions of Africa; in woodland, savannas or gallery forests, on sandy soils or in rocky places. Altitude 200-1000 m a.s.l. Local and common names known in Cameroon. Bohili (Fulfuldé) (Malzy 1954). IUCN conservation status. Least Concern (LC) (Cosiaux et al. 2019n). Uses in Cameroon. None recorded. Notes. Hexalobus monopetalus is distinguished from the other Cameroonian species by being a small deciduous shrub or tree (no taller than 15 m) growing in drier areas, with sessile or subsessile flowers and small smooth monocarps (up to 46 mm long versus more than 45 mm generally).
