8. D. CRASSIFOLIA (Benth. in Kew Journ. Bot. ii. p. 235), foliis oppo- 
sitis, petiolo anguste marginato, foliolis ovatis v. ovali-oblongis sub- 
acuminatis crasse coriaceis supra glabris subtus canescentibus, panicula

—Foliola 4-5 poll. longa, 2-3 poll. lata, margine subrecurva. Calycis 
lacinite summee circa 3 lin. longe. Legumen junius in stipitem bre- 
vissimum attenuatum. 
Hab. British Guiana, Rob. Schomburgk (n. 25 of a small set of almost 
single specimens gathered in his last expedition). 
Species insufficiently known. 
D. oleifera, Benth. in Kew Journ. Bot. ii. p. 235, the Eboe tree of the 
Mosquito shore, of which I saw only a fruit and a flower, appeared to be 
distinct from all the more southern species in the remarkably glandular 
calyx.

ovali-oblongis emarginatis glabris, calycis alis glabris impunctatis.— 
Foliola circiter pollicaria. 
Hab. Brazil, prov. Minas Geraes, Sello. 
I have not seen any specimens; but from Vogel’s description (unless 
there is a misprint), it differs from all others iu. having only 7 leaflets ; 
otherwise I should have considered it the same as the following. 
2. P. POLYGALZEFLORUS (Benth. in Mart. Fl. Bras. Leg. ined.), 
foliolis 15-19 ovatis v. ovato-lanceolatis retusis glabris, calycis alis
