In 1623 Richard Jobson published an account of a 1620-21 English voyage up River Gambia, during which the party he led penetrated to a point 460 miles up river. The purpose of the voyage was to make contact with the gold trade of the West African interior, but they were not successful. However, his account of the river, its commerce, natural history, peoples, religions and polities, was teh earliest to appear in print. It was also the earliest account of any part of Black Africa by an Englishman.

All available data are brought together in a monographic treatment of the legume genus Eperua. Eighteen taxa are considered of which four are described as new: E. duckeana, E. obtusata, E. grandiflora ssp. guyanensis, and E. jenmanii ssp. sandwithii. Also one new combination is made: E. glabriflora (Ducke) Cowan. In addition to gross morphology, anatomy of leaf epidermis and palynology of most of the species are presented for the first time. Pollen morphology is particularly instructive with respect to the classification derived principally from vegetative and floral morphology.
