Coublandia, Aubl. ; Cyanobotrys, Zucc. 
Flos Lonchocarpi. Legumen crassum, carnoso-suberosum, transverse 
subteres, indehiscens, inter semina sepius constrictum et intus isthmis 
solidis interceptum. Semina ovoideo-subglobosa, vix compressa, hilo late- 
rali —Arbores habitu omnino Lonchocarpi, foliolis sepius pellucido-punc- 
atis. 
1. M. мохплвовміз (Linn., DC. Prod. ii. p. 259), glabra, foliolis 5 
parce pellucido-punctatis, pedicellis geminis, legumine moniliformi 
polyspermo v. abortu monospermo subgloboso.—Miq. Stirp. Surin. t. 4; 
Coublandia frutescens, Aubl. Pl. Gui. t. 356, et fr. in t. 300 sub De- 
guelie pictus.— Habitus, folia et inflorescentia Lonchocarpi virgilioidis. 
Foliola 2-3-pollicaria, punctis pellucidis iis L. violacei similibus 
notata, sed rarioribus et nonnunquam fere evanidis. Flores circa 
9 lin. longi, pedicellis gracilibus 2-3 lin. longis subsessilibus. Le- 
gumen nunc subglobosum $-1 poll. diametro, nunc quasi articulatum, 
monilibus globosis isthmis angustissimis separatis.

Schomburgk, 2nd coll. n. 156, Rich. Schomburgk, n. 132, Parker, 
&c.; St. Vincent’s, Anderson. 
2. M. MEXICANA (glabra, foliolis 5-11 ovatis oblongisve acuminatis 
crebre pellucido-punctatis, pedicellis bifloris), legumine tereti-subcom- 
presso subtoruloso. — Cyanobotrys mexicana, Zucc. Pl. Nov. fasc. v. 
р. 30. t. 5.—Legumen 1-2-pollicare, 1-3-spermum, glabrescens, lave, 
suturis non prominentibus. 
Hab. Mexico, Herb. Zuccarini. 
The flowering specimen which I examined in Zuccarini's herbarium 
was so precisely in every respect like some of those of Lonchocarpus 
violaceus, that I could scarcely believe them distinct. The staminal tube 
was quite entire, the upper stamen free at the base only, as in Loncho- 
carpus; the only fruit in the collection was detached, and evidently not 
gathered at the same time; and I might have suspected that they had 
been mismatched, but that Zuccarini had raised the plant, in the Munich 
garden, from the seeds. 
XIX. EucHRESTA, Benn, 
Calyx campanulatus, postice gibbus, breviter 5-dentatus. Vexillum an- 
gustum.  Carinz petala apice dorso coherentia. Stamina 10, vexillari 
soluto, cseteris connatis (at facile solvendis). Ovarium stipitatum, 1-2- 
ovulatum. Legumen stipitatum, ovoideum, chartaceum, fragile, indehis- 
cens. Semén unicum, pendulum. Embryo rectus. 
Species unica.
