150. Trepurosta mollis, Humb. et Kunth.—DC. Prod. 2. p- 250.—Gulf of Fonseca. 
This species is closely allied to 7’. ochroleuca. The flowers are smaller; the 
divisions of the calyx longer ; the pod slightly pubescent. 
151. Tepurosta (Craccoides) glabrescens, sp. n., herbacea, glabriuscula, foliolis 5-9 obovatis 
oblongisve tenuiter membranaceis supra glabris subtus adpresse pilosis glabratisve, racemis laxis folio 
sublongioribus, calycis puberuli laciniis subulatis superioribus tubo subaequilongis infima paullo lon- 
giore alis dimidio breviore, legumine glaberrimo.—Columbia. 
7’. ochroleuce affinis, at satis distincta videtur glabritie, foliolis tenuibus, pedicellis duplo longioribus, floribus 
paullo majoribus. 
152. Tepurosta (Craccoides) glandulifera, sp. n., herbacea, foliolis 11-21 oblongo-ellipticis 
utrinque preesertim subtus ramisque molliter subsericeo-pubescentibus villosisve, racemis folio multo 
longioribus laxis, pedunculo pedicellis calycibusque glanduloso-pubescentibus, calycis laciniis subu- 
latis tubo subtriplo longioribus carinam subeequantibus, legumine tenuiter pubescente.—Guayaquil ; 
gathered there also by Hartweg, n. 648. 
Habitus et folia fere 7. caribew, cui et T. ochroleuce affinis. Foliola 4-5 lin. vel in umbrosis 8-10 lin, 
longa, basi obliqua parum angustata vel rotundata, apice obtusa cum mucrone. Stipule subulato-setaces, 
2-3 lin. longee. Stipellee minute, rarius obsolete. Racemi cum pedunculo 4-8-pollicares, pube molli cum 
pilis glanduliferis plus minus intermixta. Flores in racemo 6-10, majores quam in 7’. ochroleuca, minores 
quam in 7’. caribea. Pedicelli circa 2 lin. longi. Bractez setaceze, decidue. Legumen sessile, leviter incur- 
vum, undique equilatum vel basi parum angustatum, uti in affinibus obtusum, compressum, lineis transversis 
depressis inter semina torulosum, intus septatum. Semina quadrata. 
153. Prscrpra erythrina, Linn.—DC. Prod. 2. p. 267.—Guayaquil. 
154. Loncuocarrus maculatus, DC. Prod. 2. p. 260.—Nicoya. 
155. Loncuocarrvs, sp., without leaves from Central America, apparently new, but insufficient 
to describe. 
156. AsTRAGALus ervoides, Hook. et Arn. sp. n., Bot. Beech. p. 417.—Tepie. 
157. Puanartum latisiliquum, Desv. Ann. Sc. Nat. Par. 9. p. 411. (Plate XXX.)—Atacames. 
When this plant was put into the artist’s hands, it was believed to be an 
entirely new genus of Hedysaree ; it has, however, since been ascertained, with 
little doubt, to be the same as the one imperfectly described by Desvaux under 
the above name shortly after the publication of the second volume of De Candolle's 
Prodromus. As it has never since then been mentioned by any other botanist, 
and appears to be a scarce plant, there being but a single specimen in the collec- 
tion before me, I subjoin an amended generic character and description. 
Cuar. Gey. Calyx campanulatus, breviter 5-dentatus. Vexillam ovato-orbiculatum, compli- 
catum. Ale oblonge, faleate. Petala carinalia alis subsimilia, apice dorso connata. Stamina ad 
medium connata in vaginam postice fissam. Anthere conformes. Legumen breviter stipitatum, 
elongatum, planum, sutura utraque ala subcartilaginea marginata, articulis numerosis quadratis in- 
dehiscentibus.
