TWO SPECIES OF PANAX. . 493 
to, and the very remarkable P. cochleatum of Molucca and 
Java, figured by Rumphius in the Herbarium Amboynense. 
With neither of these has our plant the slightest specific 
affinity. Indeed, with its very simple umbels, had it a her- 
baceous instead of a fruticose stem, I should at first sight 
have felt little hesitation in referring it to Hydrocotyle, among 
the Umbellifere. The stem and branches are, however, every- 
where hard and woody, and probably of some size, several of 
my specimens, apparently only small portions of the entire 
plant, being 2 feet in the spread of the branches. These 
branches, too, are singularly divaricated, and everywhere 
clothed with minute tubercles, on which are placed decdous 
little setaceous scales. The leaves are membranaceous, 
jointed upon the small slender petiole: and at the joint, and 
also at the base of the petiole, are 3 or 4 minute stipula- 
ceous subulate scales. The fruit appears to be so decidedly 
that of a Panaz, (for I have seen no flowers), that I have 
little hesitation in referring it to that genus. `

Enumeration of Leaumtnosa, indigenous to SOUTHERN 
Asia, and CENTRAL and SOUTHERN Arnica, by GEORGE 
BgNTHAM, Esa. 
Tux collections which it is the object of the following 
paper to publish, comprehend nearly the whole of what is 
hitherto known of East Indian Leguminose, and the greater 
part of those which have been deen detected in Central and 
Southern Africa. I have thought therefore that the most 
useful course to pursue, consistent with the necessary limits 
of this paper, is to give a complete list of all the species that 
have to my knowledge been published from these countries,
