sequente et minime acuminata. Legumen circa 2 poll. diametro, 
molliter tomentosum. 
Hab. Tropical Africa, Senegambia, Leprieur, Heudelot, n. 47 and 628. 
4. P. zcuiNATUS (Pers.? DC. Prod. ii. p. 4192), foliolis 11-15 ovatis 
oblongisve breviter et obtuse acuminatis glabris v. subtus minute 
puberulis, racemis paniculatis tomentellis, staminibus diadelphis 5; 
legumine stipitato suborbiculato medio echinato margine late mem- 
branaceo stylo laterali.—P. angolensis, DC. Prod. ii. p. 419 ?—Foliola 
2-3-pollicaria v. ramorum sterilium 4-pollicaria, nunc exacte ovata et 
basi subcordata, nune elongato-oblonga, supra medium angustata, 
supra glabra nitida, subtus pubescentia, crebre parallele venosa et re- 
ticulato-venulosa. Rami floridi aphylli. Racemi laxi, 3-4-pollicares, 
minus tomentosi quam in precedente. Pedicelli 2-3 lin. longi, 
bracteolis subulatis a calyce subdistantibus. Flores semipollicares, lutei. 
Petala crispula, carinalia vix connata. Ovarium brevissime stipitatum, 
biovulatum. Legumen 2-23 poll. diametro, brevius longiusve stipi- 
tatum, tomentellum, medio setis longis rigidis echinatum, acumine 
(stylo) medium versus lateris superioris sursum v. deorsum spectans. 
Hab. Western Tropical Africa, on the Niger, a common tree in the 
interior, where it is known under the name of * Cornwood," Barter. 
It is probably a mere variety of R. erinaceus with more glabrous 
leaflets somewhat differently shaped, but I have not myself seen the 
leaves of the true erinaceus to compare. 
5. P. saNTALINUS (Linn. fil., DC. Prod. ii. p. 419), foliolis subternis 
(rarius 4—5) late ovatis emarginatis v. orbiculatis, racemis axillaribus 
ramosis, "stamine vexillari libero ceteris diadelphis 4” legumine 
longe stipitato oblique orbiculato medio incrassato inermi margine 
attenuato, stylo laterali.— Valde affinis P. Marsupio, differt imprimis 
foliolis latioribus et szepissime 3 tantum. 
Hab. East Indian Peninsula, Wight, Heyne (Wall. Cat. n. 5844). 
Of this we have but very few very indifferent specimens, and I have 
not myself been able to examine the flowers. 
6. P. Marsurium (Roxb. Pl. Согот. ii. t. 116; DC. Prod. ii. p. 418), 
foliolis 5-7 (rarius 3) oblongis obovatisve retusis emarginatis v. vix 
acuminatis, racemis paniculatis, staminibus monadelphis v. demum

medio incrassato venoso inermi margine late attenuato, stylo laterali. 
—P. bilobus, Roxb., G. Don., Gard. Dict. ii. p. 376.—Foliola 2-3- 
v. rarius 4-pollicaria, coriacea, nitida, crebre subparallele venosa, fere 
semper apice late rotundata et emarginata, rarissime breviter et obtuse 
subacuminata, glabra v. subtus minute puberula.  Panicula laxe 
ramosa, folia vix superans, tenuissime fusco-tomentosa. Flores bre-
