70 Leguminosae. 
Obs. Lonchocarpi species cubenses Richardianae partim 
legumine dehiscente ad Galegeas pertinent, quas praeeunte cl. 
Bentham ad Gliricidiam reduco: utraque praeterea stamine 
decimo libero a Lonchocarpo *recedunt. De altera (L. latifolio 
Rich., non Kth.) cl. Wright haec monet in schedula: ,egume 
bursts with a loud report in warm dry days, and also bursts 
with force on falling or while drying in the herbarium“: 
hujus legumina missa valvas dehiscentia disjectas praebent, 
dum in ceteris adhuc cohaereant, textura tamen plane con- 
venientia.

glabra (6 — 8^ longa), stigmate ciliato, legumine subsessili 
oblongo -lineari basi attenuato 5 — 6spermo (6" longo, 9” lato):
