Apparently a common plant in tropical regions, parti 
cularly those of the New World. It begins to flower at 
a very early stage, and varies exceedingly in the strength of 
its stem and the size of its leaves and pods, on which 
account it will probably be found to have a synonymy 3$ 
wide as its geographical range. The specimens of Hedysarum 
tenellum, Kunth! (in the herb. of the Museum of Paris) 
appear to be a delicate form, and Hed. Cumanense ejusd. ! 
2 robust individual, with larger and more elliptic leaves, 9 
tbis species, very similar to the specimens of Vogel, gathered 
in St. Antonio. I have not, however, ventured to unite 
these species, the authentic specimens mot admitting of 
sufficient examination.
