A TRIBE OF LEGUMINOS X. 101 
petalis rigidulis glabris, vexillo oblongo, alis carina brevioribus, ovulis 
2.— Frutex alte scandens. ^ Foliola 3-5-pollicaria, mollia, apice rotun- 
data v. truncata, acumine abrupto brevi. Racemi pedales et longiores, 
fasciculis florum approximatis subsecundis. Flores subsessiles, odora- 
tissimi, roseo-albi fere 7 lin. longi. Calyx anguste campanulatus, 
cano-tomentosus. Petala erecta, diu persistentia. Vexillum ecallosum, 
basi auriculis parvis inflexis appendiculatum. Ale carina angustiores 
et triente breviores, more generis supra unguem caring coheerentes. 
Stamina generis. Ovarium longiuscule stipitatum. Legumen ignotum. 
Hab. Senegambia, in the Fouta Dhallion, Heudelot, n. 828. 
In its general aspect, round cottony leaves, and stiff narrow petals, this 
plant bears a considerable resemblance to ап unpublished Mexican one 
(Andrieux, n. 441; Bates), which, however, I do not venture now to 
describe, as it has the tenth stamen entirely free, and the form assumed 
by the growing ovary, somewhat different from that of Lonchocarpus, 
renders it impossible to fix its genus until the more perfect fruit shall 
have been examined. 
Doubtful Species. 
L. roseus, DC., from the fragments that I saw, did not appearto differ 
much from L. sericeus, but neither the specimens nor description are 
sufficient to make it out. 
L. hedyosmus, Miq. Linn. xviii. p. 564, is also probably not distinct 
from L. sericeus. 
L. sepium, DC., L. maculatus, DC., and probably also L. pubescens, 
DC., belong to Kunth’s genus Gliricidia, closely allied to Miettia and 
Wisteria among Galegee.

Calyx truncatus v. brevissime 4-5-dentatus. Ale supra unguem carinæ 
leviter cohzrentes.  Carins petala dorso superne leviter cohzrentia. 
Stamen vexillare ima basi liberum, dein cum ceteris in tubum completum 
connatum, rarius omnino liberum. Antherz versatiles. Ovarium bi-pluri- 
ovulatum. Legumen planum, orbiculare, oblongum v. elongatum, mem- 
branaceum coriaceum v. rarius sublignosum, indehiscens, stylo terminali, 
sutura vexillari v. utraque ala angusta marginata. Semina, si plura, dissita. 
Radicula inflexa.—Caulis lignosus, alte scandens v. rarissime arboreus. 
Folia alterna, foliolis oppositis cum impari distante, exstipellata. Racemi 
subsimplices v. paniculati. Pedicelli fasciculati v. fasciculi rhachi elon- 
gata racemoso-sparsi. Flores violacei, purpurei v. albi, nec lutei, petalis 
(excepta D. elliptica) glabris. Calyx peracta anthesi sepius cyathiformis. 
Genus a Lonchocarpis fasciculifloris non differt nisi leguminis ale. 
Sect. 1. BRAcHyPTERUM, W. et Arn. Vexillum basi nudum. Stamina 
monadelpha. Legumen tenue, angustum, utrinque acutatum, sutura
