Palega-pajaneli, p. 77- Jig- 43. 

 Quoted erroneously in the letter-press as figure 44. 

 This is the Bignonia inclica of authors ; and the synonyma, if 

 we remove the Pajaneli of Rheede, seem to be accurately given 

 in the Encyclopedic Methoclique (i. 423.), composing a species 

 with two varieties differing in the size of the leaflets ; and a little 

 in their form ; but both, it is to be presumed, having bipinnated 



leaves.
