equalling or exceeding the vexillum, longer than the ale. Legume, so far as can be 
determined, like that of Z. Simsiana, from which this is readily known by its long | 
and acuminate calyx-teeth. This may be Sarcophyllum grandiflorum, E. Mey., whic 
is unknown to me ; but it differs from Bentham’s L. grandiflora.
