МВ. Ө. BENTHAM’S SYNOPSIS OF DALBERGIE E, 
paniculis amplis, floribus subsessilibus, vexillo sericeo, staminibus 
diadelphis.—Foliola 3-5-pollicaria. Panicula sæpe pedalis. Flores 
5-54 lin. longi. Legumen non visum. 
Hab. North Brazil. The Santarem plant from Spruce’s collection, 
distributed under this name, is however a different species, M. flori- 
bundum. 
54. M. KEcELII (Meisn. Linnea, xxi. p. 257), stipulis indurato-spi- 
nescentibus, foliolis 11-15 amplis ovalibus oblongisve acuminatis co- 
riaceis nitidis crebre penniveniis glabris, panicula terminali floribunda, 
vexillo sericeo.—Foliola 2—3-pollicaria. 
Hab. Surinam, Kegel, n. 1189. 
This plant is unknown to me; but, from Meisner’s description, it must 
be very near the M. macrophyllum, but with more leaflets. 
55. M. en10sTEMON (Benth. in Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), inerme? 
foliolis 5-7 obovali-oblongis breviter acuminatis opacis subtus inflo- 
rescentiaque tenuiter sericeo-puberulis dissite penniveniis, floribus 
sessilibus paniculatis, vexillo sericeo, staminibus diadelphis.— Foliola 
24-34-pollicaria. Flores circa 4 lin. 
Hab. South Brazil, near Mandiocca, Riedel. 
Described many years since, from a specimen belonging to the St. Pe- 
tersburg Herbarium, but not now compared with the allied species, and 
therefore in some degree doubtful. 
56. M. rLoRiBUNDUM (Benth. in Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), inerme 
v. stipulis breviter spinescentibus, foliolis 7-9 amplis ovali-oblongis 
acuminatis subcoriaceis glabris v. subtus minute puberulis dissite pen- 
niveniis, panicula ampla floribunda, petalis glabris, staminibus mona- 
delphis.—M. macrophyllum, Benth. in Pl. Spr. exs., non Mart. Foliola 
3-5-pollicaria. Panicula subpedalis. Flores circa 4 lin. longi. Le- 
gumen 3-4-pollicare, ad semen 9-12 lin. latum. 
Hab. North Brazi and Guiana, near Santarem, Spruce; Cayenne, 
Martin; British Guiana, Rob. Schomburgk, 2nd coll. n. 108, Rich. 
Schomburgk, n.97. 
This, which I had at one time mistaken for the M. macrophyllum, 
differs in its smaller flowers with the petals quite glabrous, in the tenth 
stamen uuited with the others, and several other minor points. 
B, parviflorum, floribus vix 3 lin. longis. 
Hab. Eastern Peru, near Tarapoto, Spruce, n. 4544. 
I can perceive no other difference than the smaller flowers. 
Doubtful Species. 
The Nissolia dubia, Poir., N. microptera, Poir., N. retusa, Willd., 
and N. reticulata, Lam., are all too imperfectly described to be recog- 
nized, but they are all probably: synonyms to some of the Macheria 
` above enumerated.
