78 NOTES ON MIMOSEiE. 



gathered by Riedel in North Brasil, and now in the herbarium 

 of the Imperial Academy of Saint Petersburgh all belong to 

 a species of Parkia, very distinct from P. biglobosa, but 

 which is probably the same as Inga filicina, Willd. 



Two additional species of Parkia, P. speciosa and P. inter- 

 media, both from Java, are published by Hasskarl, Hort. 

 Bogor. p. 289, where the P. grandis, formerly so named by 

 him, and published from his MS. in the Ratisbon Flora and 

 in Walp. Rep. 2, p. 905, is now referred to the common P. 

 biglobosa, of which Javanese specimens are contained in 

 Zollinger's collection, n. 736.

P. brevifila may possibly be a mere variety of P. filamen- 

 tosa. The Acacia aspidoides, G. F. W. Mey., which I had sug- 

 gested might be a Piptadenia, has been referred in the British 

 Museum, and with reason, to Pentaclethra filamentosa.
