However, there is a book at Biodiversity Heritage Library that you can download and, if you have the time, you might be able to find your tree there. Here's the link for that one: <a href="http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/ia/floweringplantso00thon" rel="nofollow">http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/ia/floweringplantso00thon.</a>. Good luck!

I suggest you try the key that has been developed by Kew Gardens especially for plants from Africa. You can find it here: <a href="http://www.kew.org/science/directory/projects/IntKeyAfricanPlants.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.kew.org/science/directory/projects/IntKeyAfricanPlants.html</a>. Good luck in your search, and if you find the name of that wonderful tree, it would be great if you could come back here and post it! Thanks. Nico,
