SPECIES DOUBTFUL OK TO UK EXCLUDED FROM CLITORIA, OR FROM THE MEXICAN 



FLORA. 



Clitoria (?) sericea Wats, Proc. Am. Acad. 22:407, 1887; 29:315, 1894, is not of 

 this genus, but may be a Craeca (Tephrosia). 



Clitoria mariana L. Sp. PL 2 :753. 1753. 



The only species found in the United States, where it is common. It has been 

 reported from Mexico, but the determinations thus far have proved incorrect. 

 Clitoria grandiflora Mart, et Gal. Bull. Acad. Unix. 10, pt. 2 : 189. 1813. 



The type of this species was collected by Galeotti at Mirador and Zacuapan. It is 

 probably to he referred to Centrosema. 

 Clitoria schiedeana Schlecht. Linnrea, 12 : 284. 1838. 



This species was based on specimens collected at Jalapaaud Hacienda de la Laguna. 

 It is described as having a broad, campannlato calyx with 4 teeth. It suggests a 

 Centrosema. 

 Clitoria speciosa Cav. Desc. 182. 1802. 



I do not know this species. 

 Clitoria portobellensis Beurling, Vetensk. Akad. Handl. Stockh. 1854:119. 1856.
