— Foliola pleraque 3-4 poll. longa, 14-2 poll. lata, punctis pellucidis ut 
in przecedente oblongis rotundisve notata, per anthesin membranacea, 
demum rigidiora et nitidula. Racemi axillares, 3—5-pollicares, fere а 
basi floribundi, ramulis (seu pedicellis plurifloris) brevibus, pedicellis 
propriis brevissimis. Bractez et bracteole minimz subpersistentes.

28. L. ARARIPENSIS (Benth. їп Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), glaber, 
foliolis 7-11 ovali-oblongis obtusis pellucido-punctatis, paniculis race- 
miformibus laxis, pedicellis irregulariter subracemiferis, calyce distincte 
4-dentato, vexillo glabro basi nudo.— Foliola pleraque semipollicaria.

Hab. Brazil, prov. Ceara (Gardner, n. 1536). 
29. L. suBGLAUCESCENS (Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), foliolis 9-11 
ovatis oblongisve acuminatis glabris subtus glaucescentibus pellucido- 
punctatis, paniculis laxis, pedicellis plerisque solitariis (ramulis pani- 
cule racemiferis) calyce vexilloque tenuiter sericeis.—Sphinctolobium 
floribundum, Vog. Linnza, ii. p. 419.

$ 6. Pax1CcULATI. 
30. L. pracox (Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), foliolis 9-11 ovalibus 
oblongisve obtusis glabris impunctatis, paniculis brevibus laxifloris, 
ramulis (pedicellis) brevibus irregulariter racemiferis, calyce vexilloque 
tenuiter sericeis. 
Hab. Brazil, prov. Minas Geraes. 
Somewhat intermediate between the two last in inflorescence, it differs 
from both in the total absence of any pellucid dots to the leaves.

acuminatis glabris v. subtus pilis minutis conspersis, paniculis elon-
