A TRIBE OF LEGUMINOSX. 51 
The foliage and fruits assume in this species such а variety of forms 
that it is often difficult to believe that single specimens do not belong to 
distinct species till we have to turn over large masses of specimens, often 
showing two such supposed species from the same stem. 
3. E. PunEsckNs (DC. Prod. ii. p. 421), foliolis 5-11 ovatis oblon- 
gisve acuminatis utrinque ramulis inflorescentiaque pubescenti-hirtis, 
legumine suborbiculato-tomentoso.—Ab Е. monetaria differt foliolis 
multo minoribus numerosioribus, pube præsertim in ramulis patente, 
tenuiter rufescente. Foliola maxima 2-pollicaria, pleraque 1-13 poll. 
longa. Flores quam in E. monetaria minores. Legumen 14-14 poll. 
longum, 1 poll. latum, reticulato-venosum, in speciminibus a me visis 
vix inerassatum, sed nondum maturum. 
Hab. Cayenne, Martin. 
4. E. GLaucum (Desv. Ann. Sc. Nat. Par. ser. l. ix. р. 423), foliolis 
5-7 oblongis glabris subtus glaucis crebre venulosis, legumine subor- 
biculato crassiusculo levi glabro.— E. foliosum, Benth. in Hook. Journ. 
Bot. ii. p. 64.— Foliola subcoriacea quam in E. pubescente paullo ma- 
jora, iis tamen E. monetarie multo minora et angustiora, crebre sub- 
parallele venulosa nec subremote pennivenia. Flores Е. monetarie. 
Legumen 6-9 lin. longum et latum, crassiusculum sed planum. 
Hab. Cayenne, Martin in Herb. Par.; Portorico in Herb. Desv., but 
probably this is one of the mistakes Desvaux frequently made in 
entering the stations of his specimens in his herbarium from recollec- 
tion. 
5. E.? TOMENTOSUM (Spruce, Benth. in Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg., ined.), 
foliolis 5-7 ovatis vix acuminatis utrinque ramulisque molliter pubes- 
centibus, legumine (oblongo?) glabro.—Scandens. Foliola 13-3-pol- 
licaria. Racemi ut in precedentibus breves, numerosi, eonfertim sub- 
paniculati. Stamina isadelpha. Legumen junius 9 lin. longum 3 lin. 
latum; perfectum non vidi. 
Hab. North Brazil. Spruce. 
Till the ripe fruit has been seen, it must remain uncertain whether 
this is an Ecastaphyllum or а Dalbergia. 
III. CYCLOLOBIUM, Benth. 
Calyx campanulatus, 5-dentatus. Carina petala dorso imbricantiav. leviter 
connata. Stamen vexillare liberum, extera connata. Antherz versatiles. 
Ovarium pluriovulatum. Legumen stipitatum, orbiculatum (v. late fal- 
catum?) membranaceum, indehiscens, ad semina vix incrassatum, sutura 
Vexillari anguste alata, stylo terminali. Semina 2-3, oblonga, transversa, 
embryone recto.— Frutices Austro-Americani. Folia alterna, petiolo apice 
unifoliolato, зере bistipellato. Racemi axillares v. laterales, subsimplices, 
solitarii v. fasciculati. Pedicelli solitarii, bracteolis minutis caducis. 
1. C. pRAsILIENSE (Benth. in Ann. Mus. Vind. ii. p. 92 et in Mart. FI. 
Bras. Leg., ined.), foliolo breviter petiolato oyali-oblongo basi rotun-
