70 MR. G. BENTHAM’S SYNOPSIS OF DALBERGIEZ, 
3. D. Ferox (Mart., Benth. in Ann. Mus. Vind. ii. p. 96, et in Mart. 
Fi. Bras. Leg. ined.), stipulis demum uncinato-spinescentibus, foliolis 
19—35 oblongis obtusis retusisve muticis crebre subparallele venulosis, 
panicula floribunda fusco-pubescente, staminibus profunde isadelphis. 
—Foliola 1-2-pollicaria. Flores brevissime pedicellati, 5 lin. longi. 
Vexillum extus sericeum. Carina valde incurva. Ovarium apice 
curvatum. Legumen fere 2 poll. longum, 13 poll. latum, fere annu- 
latum, apice tamen breviter rectum et paullulum attenuatum. 
Hab. Frequent in North Brazil. Also in British Guiana, Schomburgk, 
Ist coll. n. 267, and a variety with rather smaller leaflets in Venezuela, 
on the Upper Casiquiare and Orenoco, Spruce, n. 3213. 
4. D.? uicRoPHYLLUS (G. F. W. Mey., DC. Prod. ii. p. 420), stipulis 
demum uncinato-spinescentibus, foliolis 15-25 oblongis obtusis tenu- 
issime subparallele venulosis, panicula floribunda, calycibus parvis 
glabris, staminibus monadelphis.—Habitus D. ferocis. Foliola 1-1i- 
pollicaria, supra nitidula, subtus laxe puberula v. demum glabrata. 
Panicula ampla, ramosissima. Flores conferti, brevissime pedicellati, 
24-3 lin. longi. Calyx vix lineam longus. Vexillum dense rufo- 
sericeum. 
Hab. Central America, frequent about Panama, Hinds, Seemann, Du- 
chassaing, &c. 
I have retained this also in Drepanocarpus, on account of its evident 
affinity with the D. feroz, from which it differs chiefly in the smaller 
flowers and leaflets, and in the sheath of the stamens not split at the 
back. Should the fruit prove to be that of a Macherium, it would range 
near the M. angustifolium. 
$2. Retrounatt. 
5. D.? rLoripus (Mart., Benth. in Ann. Mus. Vind. ii. p. 96, et in 
Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), stipulis spinescentibus subrectis, foliolis 
21-31 parvis oblongis reticulato-penniveniis subtus sericeo-pubescen- 
tibus, panicula floribunda rufo-sericea, vexillo sericeo, staminibus 
monadelphis.—Foliola 4-6 lin. longa, obtusa. Flores in speciminibus 
Bahiensibus 4 lin., in aliis 3 lin. longi. 
Hab. Brazil, prov. Bahia and Rio Janeiro (Mart. Herb. ЕІ. Bras. n. 158). 
The fruit is unknown ; and I have great doubts whether this may not 
rather be a species of Macherium, nearly allied to M. scleroxylon. 
6. D. cRIsTACASTRENSIS (Mart., Benth. in Ann. Mus. Vind. ii. p. 96, 
et in Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), inermis, foliolis 9-15 oblongis 
ellipticis sublanceolatisve acutis membranaceis reticulato-penniveniis, 
panicula terminali ferrugineo-villosa, staminibus monadelphis, legu- 
mine reniformi falcato.—Foliola majora usque ad З poll. longa et 
pollicem lata, inferiora cujusve folii decrescentia, in sicco leete-virentia. 
Рапісиа subsemipedalis. Flores sessiles, 3-4 lin. longi. Vexillum
