43. L. GLABRESCENS (Benth. in Kew Journ. Bot. ii. p. 233, et in Mart. 
Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), foliolis 9 ovali-oblongis breviter acuminatis 
supra glabris subtus minute puberulis, racemis elongatis axillaribus 
terminalibusque, floribus fasciculatis, vexillo puberulo, alis carinam

suturis nudis.—Foliola pleraque sub-3-pollicaria. Racemi pedales et 
longiores, fere a basi floribundi. . 
. Hab. North Brazil. 
In flower this species is scarcely to be distinguished from L. densiflorus 
but by the somewhat larger leaflets, and the much longer racemes either 
axillary or terminating the short lenfy branches, instead of arising from 
the leafless part of the older wood, as in L. densiflorus. The pod, how- 
ever (if Martius’ fruiting specimens be corfectly matched with the flower- 
ing ones), is very different ; being thick and coriaceous, with a tendency 
to separate transversely between the seeds, almost as in Hedysaree. 
44. L. cosrATUs (Benth. in Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), foliolis 9-13 
oblongis breviter acuminatis supra glabris subtus discoloribus sub- 
pubescentibus, racemis folio vix longioribus axillaribus terminalibusque, 
floribus fasciculatis confertis, vexillo rufo-sericeo, carina arcuata, ovulis 
6-8.—Foliola 2-3-pollicaria. Racemi semipedales. Flores fere sessiles, 
reflexi, violacei, 4-5 lin. longi. Legumen ignotum. 
Hab. South Brazil, prov. Minas Geraes. 
45. L.? FASCICULATUS, sp. n., foliolis 7-9 oblongis brevissime acumi- 
natis glabris subcoriaceis, panicula ampla ramis divaricatis, floribus no- 
doso-fasciculatis parvis, vexillo oblongo glabro ecalloso, alis carinaque 
rectiusculis, ovulis 2.—Frutex in summas arbores altissimas scandens. 
Foliola 3-4-pollicaria, chartacea v. demum coriacea, venis primariis а 
costa divergentibus paucis subtus valde prominentibus. Рапісша 
ultrapedalis, ferrugineo-tomentosa, ramulis 3-5-pollicaribus. Fasciculi 
dense floribundi, secus ramulos dissiti. Flores sessiles, odoratissimi, 
circa 4 lin. longi. Calyx distincte 4-dentatus. Petala tenuia, angusta. 
Legumen ignotum. 
Hab. Senegambia, Heudelot, n. 693. 
In this and the following species the calyx and vexillum are much 
narrower than in the rest of the genus, and the pod is as yet unknown. 
They may, therefore, have to be hereafter excluded, but in all other re- 
spects they agree with Lonchocarpus. 
46. L.? BRACHYPTERUS, sp. n., foliolis subquinis obovatis orbicufatisve 
breviter acuminatis supra glabrescentibus subtus molliter canescenti-
