Spoiidias Radlkoferi. — Leaves 7-9 jugate, about a foot 

 long; leaflets granular-punctate, the upper pairs oblong-lan- 

 ceolate (30-38 X 10-13 L), the lower rhomboidal and smaller, 

 obliquely and acutely caudate, midrib and 6-8 costal nerves 

 pubescent: pcdicels bracteose at base, shorter than buds, clus- 

 tered toward apex of sl]ort tertiary branches of panicle: 

 calyx-lobes round-ovate, obtuse: disk fleshy, depresscd, pulvi- 

 nate, radiate, pulverulent: anthcrs small, quadrate: ovary 

 3-4-Iocular, styles pointed: fruit not seen. — A species, other- 

 wise similar to 5. lutca L., to which as probably new my 

 attention has been directed by Prof. L. Radlkofer, the emi- 

 nent monographer of Sapindacecs. — Escuintla, Dept. Escu-

Galactia discolor. 



Fruticose, erect (2-3 ft.), cano-pubes- 



cent: stipules filiform; leaflets twice to thrice exceeding peti- 

 ole, shortly.and subequally petiolulate, coriaceous, green and 

 glabrate above, silvery lanate beneath, lanceolate to elliptical- 

 oblong (20-42x6-161.), the terminal the greater, acute or 

 obtuse at each end, apex mucronate or retuse: racemes sub- 

 scssile, short (10-18 1.); flowers 6-12, half an inch long, 



purple: calyx-tube shorter than pedicel and filiform bractlets, 

 its segments 4 times longer and nearly equaling petals: the 

 vexillary round-oval, aifriculate, not inflexed, its filament 

 free: ovary silvery lanate.— C. Jiissia^ana HBK., likewise 

 with habit of ColUea and flowers of Eugalactia, differs chiefly 

 by smaller elliptical leaves emarginate at base with the term- 

 inal 



one remote, mmute stipules and bractlets, less deeply 

 parted calyx twice exceeded by roseate petals, the vexillary 



obovate and exap^endiculate.
