Add here the three following : 



P '. filamentosum, sp. n.; glabrum, pinnis unijugis, foliolis 

 unijugis ? oblique obovatis oblongisve coriaceis obtusis, pe- 

 dunculis elongatis tenuibus, capitulis ovatis, floribus glabns 

 breviter pedicellatis, calyce turbinato corolla plus duplo 

 breviore, tubo stamineo incluso. — Specimen valde diffractum 

 sed ex fragmenta petiolorum pinnae unijugse videntur, foliolis 

 cujusve pinnse geminis v. forte solitariis. Hsec 2-3 poll, 

 longa sunt, l|-2 poll, lata, venis utrinque perspicuis. Pedun- 

 culi tripollicares. Capitula racemiformia, basi subinterrupta.

 Hook, under the name of Inga filamentosa. 



P. turbinatum, sp. n. ; glabrum, pinnis unijugis, foliolis 

 1-2-jugis oblique obovatis v. ovali-oblongis obtusis coriaceis 

 nitidis, pedunculis elongatis, floribus brevissime pedicellatis, 

 calycibus turbinatis dimidium corollee eequantibus. — Valde 

 afnne P. filamentoso, sed foliola majora videntur, seepius in

 cellati. Calyx saltern 2 lin., corolla 4 lin. longa. — Bahia, 

 Lushnath. 



P. furcatum, sp. n. ; glabrum v. minute canescenti-pube- 

 rulum, pinnis unijugis petiolo communi partialibusque alatis, 

 foliolis unijugis oblique obovato-oblongis obtuse acuminatis, 

 spicis ovatis, calyce minute puberulo turbinato-tubuloso 

 quam corolla sericeo-pubescens duplo breviore, tubo stamineo 

 longe exserto. — Species petiolis more Ingarurn alatis insignis. 

 Foliola 3-4 poll, longa, 1 1-2 poll, lata, glabra at non nitida. 

 Corolla 5 lin. longa.—On the Rio Teapa in South Mexico, 

 Linden, n. 723. 



I would mention here another species, singular as to its 

 foliage, in the herbarium of the British Museum from 

 Cayenne, belonging either to this genus or to Calliandra. 

 The leaf, like that of P. unyfoliatum, appears at first sight 

 simply pinnate with one pair of leaflets, but the articulation 

 of the petiole shows that instead of being as in that species 

 composed of two unifoliolate pinnee, the two leaflets belong 

 to one pinna, whilst the opposite pinna is deficient.
