*Google apparently can't differentiate between SwaHili, Kamba and Kinyarwanda. This is annoying to discover, as it might mean a name I posted in the past is actually Kikuyu. It took me a bit before I figured out which languages I was looking at here.
**Most Beninese and Togan, and many Ghanese and Nigerian languages are now generally transcribed with a separate letter for each speech sound (phoneme), rather than using diacritics as in French or digraphs as in English. Consonant doublings are rare, and consonant groupings follow rules. This can easily be checked when sufficient text is available. Most of my sources date from before this convention was (re-)instituted (1900-1950), or use divergent orthographies and spellings. I have tried to correct spelling where I can see it is incorrect (which was twice).
***According to a completely unreferenced source on Wikipedia, in the Gurma language, all trees have a bu-bu and i-di set of prefixes and suffixes in singular and plural, as in busaabu (shea tree) or isaandi (shea trees).

On Taxonomic History: I still need this paper to complete this: Kew Bulletin, Vol. 5, No. 2 (1950), pp. 245-254.

On Subspecies and their Distribution: Flora of East Africa from Kew 1973 says 'DISTR. (of species as a whole). U1–4; K2–5; T1–8 widespread in tropical and subtropical Africa' and Flora of West Africa says 'Guinea to Central African Republic and Sudan DISTR. U1'.
