267. Rhynchosia precatoria, De Cand. Prodr. vol. ii. p. 385. — R. picta, Seem. MSS. (Tab.

mollibuSj raccmis axillaribus multifloris folia sub^quantibus, leguminibus oblongis glanduloso- 
hirsutis. Volcano of Chiriqui, Veraguas ; Island of Trinidad (Purdie) . 
This plant I thought at one time different from JB. precatoria, De Cand., and so did Mr. Bentham, 
for which reason I called it R. picta ; but now I find that it is identical with R. precatoria, and therefore 
abandon the name which I gave to it. R. precatoria is closely allied to, and often confounded with, R. pha- 
seoloides ; it may however at once be distinguished from that species by its pods, which, when fully matured, 
are still glandule so-liirsute, while those of R. pliaseoloides are in that state quite glabrous and shining. The 
flow^ers of R. precatoria are yellow, and the seeds, like those of its ally, half black and half scarlet.
