584 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM 
Peru: Santa Ana, alt. 900 m., Cook € Gilbert 1611 (U. S.). 
Kuntze distributed the Yapacani plant as C. picta Mart., and it is possible 
that his Santa Cruz plant, the basis of C. lasiocalyz, is different. 
11. Wenderothia lenta (Benth.) Piper. 
Canavalia lenta Benth. Ann. Wien. Mus. Naturg. 2: 135. 1838. 
Stems slender, terete, densely puberulent, apparently herbaceous; stipules 
and stipels not seen; petioles densely puberulent, shorter than the leaflets ; 
petiolules 2 mm. long, densely puberulent; leaflets elliptic to slightly ovate, 
rounded at base, acuminate, the tip acute and apiculate, densely soft-puberu- 
lent on both sides, 4 to 7 cm. long; peduncles as long as the racemes; pedicel- 
lar glands roundish, conspicuous; thyrses about 10-flowered; calyx cam- 
panulate, 15 mm. long, the upper lip stoutly apiculate at tip, as long as 
the tube; lower lip 3 mm. long, the teeth triangular, subequal, the median 
thicker; standard broadly oval, not retuse, reflexed, attenuate at base to a 
very short claw, bearing two papillate callosities near the base; wings 20 mm. 
long, oblong, twisted near the base, the auricles semicircular, the short claw 
2 mm. long; keel 25 mm. long, broadly faleate, the narrowed tip incurved or 
twisted, the basal auricles small, the short claw 2 mm. long; style glabrous; 
stigma capitate. . 
Brazi: Cabellado, Pohl, type (Kew). 
Reported also from Paraguay, Balansa 3096 (Bull. Herb. Boiss. IT. 4: 902. 
1904). 
12. Wenderothia villosa (Benth.) Piper. 
Canavalia villosa Benth. Ann. Wien. Mus. Naturg. 2: 185. 1837. The type of 
this, in the Munich herbarium, is a flowering specimen collected somewhere 
in Mexico by Karwinsky. The branchlets and petioles are densely ferru- 
ginous-hirsutulous, the leaflets sparsely puberulent above and densely canes- 
cent-tomentulose beneath, elliptic to elliptic-ovate, with the short acumination 
blunt and apiculate at tip; calyx densely ferruginous-tomentulose, scarcely 
“ villose”; lower calyx lip not entire but with 8 lobes, these all triangular and 
acutish, the median 2 mm. long, longer and thicker than the lateral ones; keel 
slightly twisted at tip. In the pubescence of the calyx this specimen is quite 
unusual. The best match for it examined is from Ocuila (? Ocuilfin), State 
of Mexico, I’, Salazar, November 16, 1911, which specimen has even longer, 
denser, and darker pubescence on the calyx. 
Canavalia rostrata Benth. Ann. Wien. Mus. Naturg. 2: 135. 18837. The type 
of this, in the herbarium at Munich, is a fragmentary specimen in bloom, col- 
lected somewhere in Mexico by Karwinsky. It is evidently a shade specimen. 
Stems slender, sparsely strigillose; leaflets thin, elliptic to ovate, with a 
rather long acumination, but the very tip blunt and apiculate, glabrous above 
except on the nerves, sparsely strigillose beneath; calyx nearly glabrous, the 
lower lip 3-lobed, 8 mm. long; corolla (straightened out) 3 cm. long. 
Wenderothia discolor Schlecht. Linnaea 12: 331. 1838. The original speci- 
mens from Jalapa, Veracruz, Schiede, for which the genus Wenderothia was 
proposed, have not been examined. The long description accords closely with 
Rose € Hay 6129 from the same place. In the latter the calyx is nearly 
glabrous and, as described for W. discolor, the under leaf surface is densely 
tomentulose. 
Neurocarpum multifiorum Hook. & Arn. Bot. Beechey Voy. 286. 1841. 
Canavalia multiflora Hook. & Arn. Bot. Beechey Voy. 416. 1841. The type, 
in the herbarium at Kew, is said to have been collected by Sinclair somewhere 
on the west coast between San Blas, Mexico, and Realejo, Nicaragua. The 
specimen is in young fruit. Leaflets sparsely strigillose beneath; calyx 
sparsely strigillose; stems hirsutulous, the hairs somewhat reflexed.
