76 BOTANY OF THE VOYAGE OF THE SULPHUR. 
perfectly smooth long before its maturity. In the common Brazilian form, the 
capsule is always pubescent all over, as described by Cambessedes, and rather 
more pointed.

106. Srrsanra brevipes, sp. n., foliis brevissime petiolatis ternatis, foliolis lato-ovatis Stiinta 
crenatis mucronatis, lateralibus basi truncato-cordatis, terminali basi late rotundata, petiolulo brevi 
cuneato-alato, omnibus supra minute hirtellis subtus ramulisque molliter tomentoso-villosis, racemis 
simplicibus brevibus densis, calyce 5-phyllo.—Columbia and Guayaquil. 
Ramuli angulati. Petiolus communis vix unquam semipollicaris, subteres. Foliola lateralia 1-1}-polli- 
caria, crenaturis apiceque obtusiusculis cum mucrone, subsessilia vel brevissime petiolulata ; terminale epee 
longius, multo latius, cum petiolulo 2-4 lin. longo continuum. Pedunculus communis folio brevior, rigidats, 
tomentoso-villosus, apice bicirrhosus. Racemus 1-4-pollicaris, pedunculis secundariis brevissimis 2-4-floris, 
pedicellis subnullis. Calyx pubescens. Fructus junior tomentoso-pubescens, maturum non vidi. 
107. Sersanta glabrata, Humb. et Kunth.—DC. Prod. 1. p. 603.—Salango in Columbia. 
108. Sersanta racemosa, Schum.—DC, |. c.—Realejo. 
109. Sersanta mexicana, Willd. ?—DC. ? 1. c.—Tepic. 
110. Sersanta paniculata, Humb. et Kunth?—DC.? 1. e—Acapulco. 
111. Sersania lupulina, Schum ?—DC.? Prod. 1. p. 604,—Columbia. 
The species of Serjania are numerous in tropical America, and variable in 
the size and form of the leaves, and without good specimens both in flower and 
fruit it is exceedingly difficult to determine them, especially as so many have been 
described from very imperfect materials. 
112. Pauturta fuscescens, Humb. et Kunth? Nov. Gen. 5. p- 120.—Isle of Taboga, Bay of 
Panama. 
These specimens, as far as they go, agree with Kunth’s description ; but like 
his they are in flower only, and too young to determine the genus, which is more 
probably Serjania than Paullinia. 
113. Pavurnta curassavica, Linn.—DC. Prod. 1. p- 605.—Tepic and Realejo. 
114. Pautuinta barbadensis, Jacq.—DC. 1. c— Atacames in Columbia. 
The young capsules are pubescent, but they become smooth or nearly so 
when ripe. The specimens are quite similar to those from Jamaica, the West 
Indies, various parts of Brazil, &c.
