COLLECTED BY MR. SPRUCE AT PARA. 237 
This species was published at about the same time by Poppig, in 
his Nova Gen. et Sp., and by Tulasne, in his accurate paper on North 
. American Woody Leguminose ; but as Peppig's specimens served in 
both cases for description, his name deserves the preference, besides 
that we believe he had in fact the priority, although by too short a 
period for Mr. Tulasne to have been aware of it. 
5. S. paniculatum, Vog., foliolis 2-6-jugis oblique oblongis v. ovato- 
lanceolatis basi obtusis inzequilateris supra ad costam hirtellis subtus 
sericeo-nitentibus, floribus pedicellatis, ealycibus albo-sericeis. 
Apparently common in Goyaz and Mattogrosso. I have, also, a 
narrow-leaved variety from Goyaz (Gardaer, n. 3115), and a variety 
with small flowers and smoother leaves, possibly a distinct species, from 
Santarem (Riedel). 
6. S. tinctorium, above described. 
7. S. guianense, sp. n., foliolis 5-6-jugis oblongis basi rotundatis inæ- 
quilateris, adultis utrinque glaberrimis coriaceis, panicula ferrugineo- 
hirta, floribus subsessilibus, ‘calyce rubescenti-tomentello, petalis 
basi pilosis.— Near | S. tinctorium, but the leaflets are fewer, larger, 
and more coriaceous. Cayenne, Martin; British Guiana, Rob. 
Schomburgk, 2nd Coll. n. 598, Rich. Schomburgk, n. 931. 
8. S. rubiginosum, Mart., foliolis 4—-6-jugis oblongis crasse mucro- 
natis basi valde obliquis inszquilateris supra ad costas subtus - 
undique ramulis paniculaque ferrugineo-pubescentibus, floribus 
pedicellatis, calyce incano-sericeo, petalis glabris.—Cujabà in Matto- 
grosso. Described in detail by Tulasne in the above-mentioned 
paper. 
9. S. rugosum, Mart., foliolis 4—6-jugis oblongis basi obliquis inzequi- 
lateris supra glabriusculis rugosis subtus ramulis panieulaque 
tomento adpressissimo ferrugineis, floribus sessilibus, calyce ferru- 
gineo-tomentoso, petalis pilosis.—Ramuli petioli et rami panicule 
profunde sulcati. Foliola magnitudine S. chrysostachyos et S. guia- 
nensis, coriacea, et insigniter rugosa—Cujaba in Mattogrosso, and 
Minas Geraes, Martius, Herb. Fl. Bras. n. 1155, but we believe not 
yet described. , 
The most remarkable among Mr. Spruce's Cassie is the C. fastuosa, 
Willd., not a common one in collections, and of which there are a few 
very handsome specimens. There is, also, a single one of the following 
very distinct new simple-leaved Swartzia.
