My plant differs from the usual forms in having panieulated, instead of simple, spikes.

333. Inga (§ Euinga) Pananiensis, Seem, ; arborca, ramulis tcrctibus, pctiolis costisque folio- 
lorum ferruginco-hirsutis demum glabratis, petiolo sub paribus ultimis auguste alato, glandulis 
scutcUaiformibus, foliolls 2-3-jugis obovato-obtusis mucronatis basi obtusis, spicis ovatis simplicibus 
axillaribus terminaUbusvc, bracteis lincaribus pcrsistentibus calycem paulo supcrantibus, calyce corol- 
laquc hirsutissimis. In woods near the village of Cruccs, Province of Panama. 
This species comes close I. Lindemam, Beuth., but difl'crs from it by its leaflets not being velvety on 
the under surface, and the bracts being caducous, while in /. Fanamensis the bracts are persiatent, -^^hich 
brings it close to the section " Calocephal*," to which it would belong if the bracts were larger. /. Pana- 
memis is a middle-sized tree ; the leaves have two, frequently three pairs of leaflets, the terminal pair is the 
largest (4 inches long and 2\ inches broad). 
334. Inga spectaUlis, WiUd., ■V\aprs. Rep. vol. v. p. 637.— Nomen vcrnacul. " Guavo real." On 
account of its edible fruit, cultivated all over the country; Chagres (Fcndlcr, no. 67). 
There is a shght discrepancy betw een the diagnosis of I. spectaUlis, as given by Bentham, and my phiut : 
the branches and leaflets are said to be glabrous, wlule in my spechnens the branches, petioles, and ribs of 
the leaflets are pubescent ; the latter are besides very often ten inches long. The pods are vcrj- large, oeea- 
sionaUy two feet and more long, and the white pulp surrounding the seeds has a pleasant flavour, and 
is much eaten by the inhabitants; it is exactly like that of Inga! Feuillei, De Cand., the Paeay of the
