98 MR. Ө. BENTHAM’S SYNOPSIS OF DALBERGIEJE, 
The pod is unknown ; and, as the vexillum is narrower than in most 
- Lonchocarpi, the genus is as yet uncertain. It appears, however, much 
- more like a Lonchocarpus than a Millettia, 
§ 7. FASCICULATI. 
35. L. RARIFLORUS (Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), foliolis 3-5 ovatis 
brevi-acuminatis coriaceis supra nitidulis subtus ferrugineo-puberulis, 
racemis elongatis, floribus fasciculatis, vexillo tenuiter sericeo, ala 
carinaque rectiusculis, ovulis 2, leguminis suturis nudis.— Foliola 3-5- 
pollicaria. Racemi зере ultrapedales, fasciculis florum dissitis. Flores 
rubro-purpurei, 5 lin. longi. 
` Hab. North Brazil (Spruce, n. 1726). 
36. L. rLon1BUNDUS (Benth. in Ann. Nat. Hist. iii. р. 432, et ія Mart. 
Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), foliolis sub-7 ovatis oblongisve acuminatis 
coriaceis supra glabriuseulis nitidis subtus tenuiter sericeis, racemis 
elongatis, floribus fasciculatis, vexillo sericeo, alis carinaque leviter 
faleatis, ovulis 2, leguminis glabri sutura vexillari leviter dilatata.— 
L. Nicou; DC. Prod. ii. p. 261, excl. syn. Aubl.—Foliola 2-4-polli- 
caria. Racemi subpedales. Flores violacei, 5-6 lin. longi. 
Hab. Cayenne; British Guiana (Schomburgk, lst coll. n. 238); and 
Tropical Brazil (Gardner, n. 2118; Santarem, Spruce). 
The Robinia Nicou of Aublet is a doubtful plant; the specimen in 
the Banksian Herbarium consists but of a single leaf, which is more like 
that of L. rufescens; but he describes the stamens as diadelphous. 
37. L. urmipULvs (Benth, in Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), foliolis sub- 
9 ovali-oblongis acuminatis supra glabris subtus rufo-sericeis, racemis 
elongatis, floribus fasciculatis, vexillo sericeo, alis carinaque leviter 
falcatis, ovulis 2, legumine fulvo-sericeo, sutura vexillari ad semina 
leviter dilatato.— Foliola 2-3-pollicaria. Racemi 1-11-pedales. Flores 
rosei; cirea 5 lin. longi. 
Hab. North Brazil and Venezuela, on the upper Rio Negro and Casi- 
quiare (Spruce, n. 3203). 
__ It may perhaps prove to be a variety of L. floribundus, although at 
first sight it has more the aspect of L. rufescens and L. negrensis, from 
both of which it differs much in the pod. 
18? Schomburgkii, foliolis longioribus (cirea 4 poll.) subtus petiolis race- 
misque laxius rufo-pubescentibus, 
Hab. British Guiana, Rob. Schomburgk, 2nd coll. n. 733, Rick. Schom- 
bergk, n. 1111. 
98. L. NEGRENSIS (Benth. in Mart, Fl, Bras. Leg. ined.), foliolis 7-9 
ovali-oblongis acuminatis supra glabris subtus tenuiter rufo-serieeis, 
racemo elongato, floribus fascieulatis, vexillo glabro, alis carinaque
