bina superiora, spicis oblongis breviter pedunculatis, caly- 
cibus corollisque glabris.—Foliola superiora 4 poll. longa, 
15 poll. lata, inferiora 3-2-pollicaria. Glandule ad paria 2 
inferiora nulle.—On the Orenoco, Humboldt and Bonpland. 
I am unacquainted with any species with glands between the 
upper leaflets only. 
46. I. fraxinea (Willd. Spec. 4, p. 1019), foliolis 5-jugis 
oblongis acuminatis utrinque glabris nitidis, glandulis urceo- 
latis sessilibus, petiolo pubescente, spicis paniculatis oblongis 
. pedunculatis, calycibus pubescentibus, corolla glabra.— Foliola 
superiora 3-pollicaria, costæ pubescentes. Spice unguicu- 
lares.— Para, Hoffmansegg. Unknown to me. 
§ 2. Gymnopode. Petiolus apterus. Glandule scutellate, 
sessiles (v. rarissime nulle?). Spice ovate, rarius oblonge. 
Bracteæ calyce multo breviores, sepius minute v. caducis- 
sime. Calyx tubulosus, pubescens (v. in I. Jeiocalycina 
glaber). Corolla sericeo-pubescens v. villosa. Folia glabra 
V. pube minutissime ferrugineo-tomentella (v. in I. martini- 
censis et I. vismiefolia speciebus affinitate dubiis velutino- 
villosa). Pedunculi in plerisque speciebus fasciculati, supe- 
riores fastigiatim v. corymboso-paniculati, rarius omnes 
axillares, 
47.? I. martinicensis (Presl. Symb. Bot. 1, p. 65, t. 42), 
ramulis petiolis costisque foliorum ferrugineo-pubescentibus, 
petiolo nudo v. apice angustissime alato, foliolis bijugis

latis, calyce tubuloso strigoso quam corolla hirsuta dimidio

Martin, n. 325.—From a specimen I formerly saw of this 
Species, it appeared to me to have the inflorescence of Bour- 
gonia with the flowers of Pseudinga. It isat any rate a very 
distinct species, which requires further examination to deter- 
mine its affinities.— Martinica, Sieber.

P. 79), ramulis teretibus pedunculisque villoso-hirtis ferru-
