WESTERN TROPICAL AMERICA. 87 
Habitu Phaseolo ovato et Vigne brasiliensi affinis. Sete caulis pedunculorum et petiolorum rigidule, 
seepe fuscescentes. Stipule 2-3 lin. longe, lato-lanceolate, obtusiuscule, membranaces, striate, pilose, basi 
breviter infra insertionem productee. Petioli communes cum rhachi circa 2 poll. longi. Stipellee subulate, 
1-13 lin. longee. Foliola 1}-8-pollicaria, nunc late ovata subrhombea obtusissima, nune sublanceolato-ovata 
acuta, rarius lobata, margine ciliata, pilis in pagina superiore longiusculis suberectis, infra pallida. Pedunculus 
4-6-pollicaris, basi glabriusculus, superne retrorsum setosus. Nodi floriferi gemini, ad apicem pedunculi 
approximati, pauciflori. Pedicelli brevissimi. Bracteee in specimine jam delapse, bracteole lifeam longe. 
Calycis tubus 2 lin. longus, fere glaber, lacinize puberule, 2 superiores basi latee. Corolla 9-10 lin. alta ; 
vexillum reflexum, supra unguem basi acute biauriculatum, inflexo-appendiculatum ; ale oblong», sub- 
tortuose ; carina insigniter striata, in cyclum fere integrum curvata. 
I have unfortunately only been able to examine a single flower of this very 
distinct plant, of which there was but one specimen in the collection. The form 
of the carina is intermediate as it were between that of Phaseolus and Vigna.

204. Drepanocarpus microphyllus, G. F. W. Mey.—DC. Prod. 2. p. 420.—Bay of Panama. 
The pod of this species remains unknown, and it is uncertain whether it 
belongs to Drepanocarpus or Macherium.

206. Miscotosn, ? sp.—Isle of Taboga, under the name of the Tamarind ; it is certainly, how- 
ever, not of the same genus as the common Tamarind, but a true papilionaceous tree, and ap- 
parently a Miscolobium. The specimens are not sufficient to describe.
