192 REPORT ON THE PLANTS 
Semen et embryo omnino S. velutine, Camb.—Santarem, distributed 
as “ Serjania, sp. n., S. sinuate aff.” 
Six Brazilian trifoliate Serjaniæ are enumerated by Schlechtendahl 
(Linnzea, vol. xviii. p. 55). Amongst them the S. Guaruminea, Mart., 
is surely the same as S. cuspidata, St. Hil., a common Rio Janeiro 
species since described by Walpers under the name of Paullinia Meye- 
niana. The S. lanceolata is unknown to me, unless a specimen of 
Pohl’s, with leaves much larger than. those described by Cambessédes, 
belongs to it. 8. Mansiana, Mart., occurs in Pohl’s as well as in Mar- 
tius's collection. S. monogyna, with “ale capsule apice dilatate,” 
must be a Paullinia, as suggested by Schlechtendahl. S. Regnelii is 
evidently a distinct species unknown to me. No. 1245 of Martius’s 
‘Herbarium Flore Brasiliensis ’ referred to by Schlechtendahl appears 
to be the Urvillea glabra. The two following are new :— 
2. Serjania platycarpa, sp. n.; cinereo-pubescens, ramis obtusangulis, 
foliolis ternis ovatis serratis subtus præsertim molliter pubescentibus, 
paniculis compositis subcorymbosis longe pedunculatis, sepalis 5, 
intimis petalisque orbiculatis, fructu maximo glaberrimo glauco 
basi profunde cordato, alis dimidio longitudinis latioribus.— Sepala 
extus cano-tomentosa, interiora 3 lin. longa. Petala glabra, ungui- 
culata, orbiculata, calyce dimidio longiora. Glandule receptaculi 
oblongæ. Fructus 2 poll. longus et latus. 
A fine species, remarkable for its large flowers, broad petals, and 
large, broadly-winged fruits, found in the province of Goyaz by Pohl 
and by Gardner (n. 3629). 
3. Serjania hebecarpa, sp. n.; ramis teretibus glabriusculis, foliolis ter- 
nis ovatis acute acuminatis grosse paucidentatis supra scabriusculis 
subtus junioribus pubescentibus, paniculis compositis tomentosis, 
sepalis 5 subæquilongis, petalis obovali-oblongis, fructu undique 
pubescente apice villoso basi rotundato. | : 
Agrees in some respects with the character of S. Regnelii, but the 
leaves are less hairy, and the structure and proportions of the calyx 
and corolla are different. Gathered by Gardner in the provinces of 
Ceara (n. 1498) and Minas Geraes (n. 4479). 
Besides the above, I have another Brazilian plant which, if a Ser- 
jania, would belong to the same groupe, and be nearly allied to the 
. West Indian S. sinuata, but which I refrain from describing, as in the
