A TRIBE OF LEGUMINOSJE. 91 
7. L. MACROCARPUS, sp. n., foliolis 9-17 obovali-oblongis breviter 
acuminatis subtus molliter tomentoso-puberulis, pedicellis. geminis 
biflorisve, legumine oblongo amplo apice basique angustato sub- 
coriaceo tenuiter tomentoso, sutura vexillari acuta nec alata nec 
dilatata.—Arbor. Folia 4-pollicaria fere L. latifolii sed subtus evi- 
dentius tomentosa et rigidiora, iis L. sericei approximantia. Legumen 
(adhue immaturum) monospermum 3-4 poll. longum et 1-14 poll. 
latum, dispermum jam 5-6 poll. longum, undique tomento brevissimo 
molli subsericeo rufescens. 
Hab. New Spain, Herb. Pavon; Venezuela, Fendler, n. 1861; Santa 
Cruz in Bolivia, D'Orbigny, n. 578. 
Not having seen the flowers, I do not feel certain as to the affinities of 
this species. The foliage is between that of L. latifolius and L. sericeus, 
the fruit like that of L. latifolius, but twice as large. 
B, sericophylla, foliolis 11-17 oblongis subtus magis tomentosis v. 
interdum molliter sericeis. 
Hab. On the banks of the Huallaga in the province of Maynas, Eastern 
Peru, Spruce, n. 4597. 
This variety comes still nearer the L. sericeus in foliage, although so 
different in fruit. I have not seen the flowers. 
8. L. sP1ciFLoRvus, Mart., foliolis 7-9 amplis obovali-oblongis obtu- 
sissimis v. brevissime acuminatis glabris v. subtus tenuissime ferru- 
gineo-puberulis, racemis folio brevioribus dense multifloris, pedicellis 
subgefninis. brevissimis, vexillo glabriusculo, legumine plano tenui 
suturis acutis non dilatatis.—Foliola 4-6-pollicaria. Racemi 3-4- 
pollicares, floribus undique confertis fere sessilibus vix 5 lin. longis. 
Legumen (nondum maturum) fere L. latifolit. 
Наб. North Brazil. 
9. L. HoNDURENSIS, sp. n., glaber, foliolis 5 ovali-oblongis acuminatis 
glabris subcoriaceis, racemis multifloris, pedicellis plerisque bifloris 
brevissimis, vexillo tenuiter sericeo, ovulis circa 6.—A L. latifolio 
differt foliolis minoribus subcoriaceis venis primariis subtus vix pro- 
minulis et pedicellis cum pedicello communi calyce brevioribus. Foliola 
2—3-polliearia v. terminale rarius longius. Racemi densiflori, 4—6- 
pollicares. Flores atro-violacei, magnitudine L. latifolit. Vexilli 
auricule inflexo-appendiculate. Legumen ignotum. 
Hab. Honduras, R. Temple in Herb. Banks ; Tabasco (Yucatan), E. P. 
Johnson, n. 31. 
10. L. ATROPURPUREUS, sp. n., foliolis 5-7 (rarius 9) parvis ovatis ob- 
longisve subacuminatis glabris v. subtus vix pilosulis, racemis con- 
fertifloris folio subbrevioribus, pedicellis brevibus plerisque bifloris, 
vexillo glabro, ovulis circa 6, legumine stipitato glabro tenui suturis 
non dilatatis.— Cytisus atropurpureus et C. parviflorus, Herb. Pavon. 
in Herb. Boiss.—Arbor parva, primo intuitu L. parvifloro similis, sed 
glabritie, vexillo glabro, et legumine facile distincta. Rami ramo-
