" This is Tephrosia toxicaria of Bot. Beech, and of Bot, Sulph.," writes Mr. Bentham, "but not exactly 
the same as the "West Indian and Guiana one, which I liave also from Panama ; there are diflereuces in the 
calyx and pod, and I suspect that three species have been confounded under this name, and I kuow not 
which is the original one."
