My specimens differ from the figure and description of C. 
calycioides, only in haying the peduncles supra-axillary instead 
of axillary. I possess, however, from Lima, in Gouan's 
Herbarium, a specimen marked “ Gwaranguillo" of the 
natives, which agrees in every particular with De Candolle's 
plant. `

Hitherto this fine species of Bauhinia appears only to 
have been known from Dombey’s specimens in the Museum - 
at Paris. In the size of its flowers, it is perhaps sur 
by no species, |
