CROTALARIA Dillenius 
CROTALARIA NANA Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 156, ¢. 48, f. 2. “Habitat 
in India.” 
This species is a well-known one of India and Ceylon. 
CROTALARIA PERSICA (Burm. f.) comb. nov. 
Cytisus persicus Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 163, t. 51, f. 1. “Habitat 
in Persia.” 
Spartium persicum Willd. Sp. Pl. 3 (1800) 931. 
Crotalaria furfuracea Boiss. Diagn. 1* (1843) 6. 
De Candolle, Prodr. 2 (1825) 157, retains this as a doubtful 
species of Cytisus, giving an amplified description from Bur- 
man’s specimen in the Delessert herbarium. It is apparently 
identical with Crotalaria furfuracea Boiss. 
CROTALARIA QUINQUEFOLIA Linn, Sp. Pl. (1753) 716. 
Lupinus javanicus Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 157. “Habitat in Java.” 
The genus Lupinus is represented in Java by but three species, 
all casual and apparently recent introductions. From Burman’s 
description it is quite evident that he had flowering specimens 
of Crotalaria quinquefolia Linn., in spite of the fact that the 
corolla is described as “purpurascens.” In this species of Cro- 
‘talaria the flowers are yellow, although the petals are often 
tinged with purple on the outside. 
CROTALARIA SERICEA Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 156. “Habitat in India.” 
Crotalaria burmanni DC. Prodr. 2 (1825) 126. 
This is the basis of Crotalaria burmanni DC., the new name 
having been proposed because of Crotalaria sericea Retz. (1783), 
which, however, manifestly does not invalidate Burman’s specific 
name. Baker, in Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. 2 (1876) 75, places 
Crotalaria sericea Burm. f. and C. burmanni DC. as doubtful 
synonyms of Crotalaria assamica Benth. 
ASPALATHUS Linnaeus 
ASPALATHUS ANTHYLLOIDES Linn. Sp. Pl. ed. 2 (1763) 1002. 
Lotus persicus Burm. f. Fl. Ind. (1768) 178, t. 49, f. 8. “Habitat in 
Persia.” 
Anthyliis asphaltoides Linn. Cent. Pl. 2 (1756) 183, Amoen. Acad. 4 
(1759) 326. 
Ononis ? asphaltoides DC. Prodr. 2 (1825) 167. 
De Candolle, who examined Burman’s type in the Delessert 
herbarium, referred it with doubt to the genus Ononis, with the 
comment “‘sed descr. et patriae dubiae remanent.” The Linnean
