A TRIBE OF LEGUMINOSA. 121 
9. A.? CUBENSIS, sp. n., foliolis 9-13 ovalibus oblongisve obtusis v. 
breviter acuminatis coriaceis nitidis glabris, panicula floribunda fusco- 
tomentosa, floribus parvis sessilibus, calyce tomentoso, ovario breviter 
stipitato villosulo uniovulato.—Arbor primo intuitu formis nonnullis 
latifoliis 4. inermis subsimilis, sed flores minores et ovarium distinctis- 
simum. Flores circa 3 lin. longi, dense conferti, violacei, Calyx 
fusco-villosus, basi obtusus. Petala et stamina omnino generis. 
Ovarii stipes calyce subdimidio brevior. 
Hab. Cuba, Linden, n. 2160. 
10. A. vermiruGa (Mart., Benth. in Ann. Mus. Vind. ii. p. 108, et in 
Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), foliolis 9-11 subsessilibus late ovalibus 
obtusis retusisve basi subcordatis coriaceis subtus pubescentibus, 
panicula ampla, calycibus turbinatis tomentosis, ovario glabro.— 
Geoffroya vermifuga et G. spinulosa, Mart. Reise, p. 788; Andira 
spinulosa, Mart., Benth. in Ann. Mus. Vind. ii. p. 108.—Folia ampla, 
foliolis crassis 3-4-pollicaribus, petiolulo brevissimo. Flores 7-8 lin. 
longi fere A. anthelmintice, sed ovarium glabrum. Ovula 4. 
Hab. Brazil, prov. Minas Geraes and Mattogrosso. 
The relative dilatation of the petiole and prominence of the іре, 
upon which the two supposed species were originally founded, prove to 
be very variable. 
11. A. PANICULATA (Benth. in Ann. Mus. Vind. ii. p. 109, et in Mart. 
Fi. Bras. Leg. ined.), foliolis 11-13 petiolulatis oblongis v. ovali- 
oblongis obtusis retusisve vix coriaceis basi rotundatis cuneatisve 
supra puberulis subtus sericeo-puberulis villosisve, panicula ampla, 
calyce tomentoso basi acutato, ovario glabro.— Flores fere A. vermi- 
fuge, folia iis A. laurifolie similiora sed foliola minus coriacea et 
utrinque pubescentia, pleraque 2-3 poll. longa, 1 poll. lata. 
Hab. Brazil, prov. Goyaz and Ceara (Gardner, n. 1538). 
12. A. RETUSA (Н. B. К. Nov. Gen. et Sp. vi. p. 385 in adnot.), foliolis 
9-11 petiolulatis oblongis obovatisve obtusis retusisve basi rotundatis 
coriaceis supra glabris nitidis subtus puberulis, panicula laxa, calyce 
tomentoso basi acutato, ovario glabro.— Geoffroya retusa, Lam. Illustr. 
t. 602, f. 2, Poir. Dict. viii. p. 182; Geoffroya pubescens, Rich. in 
Act. Soc. Hist. Nat. Par. p. 121.—Foliola vulgo 3-pollicaria, supra 
medium latiora, subtus quam in sequente magis reticulata et plus minus 
pubescentia. Flores quam in precedentibus minores, majores tamen 
quam in 4. inermi, circa 6 lin. longi. |
