288 DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA, Phaseolus, 
3. P. maximus, Sloan, Jam, t. 111. f. 1. 
There are several varieties (six I know,) of this; all are 
cultivated for our tables, The natives rarely use any part of 
the plant, nor have they any vernacula¥ name for it, hence I 
doubt its being a native of India. Seed sent me from North 
America under the name Lima bean, grew and produced 
another (a white seeded) variety of the same species, 
4. P. alatus. Willd. iii. 1034. 
Perennial, smooth, lowers racemed, in pairs with a 
gland between. Nectary within the stamina, five-toothed. 
Legumes pedulous. 
Teling. Kar-alsanda, 
Beng. Bun burbutee. 
Katu paeru. Rheed, Mal. viii. t, 42. 
The legumes in Dillenius’s figure are straighter and more 
pointed; than in our East India plant. 
_ A native of Bengal. Flowers in the cold season, This is 
by far the largest flowered Phaseolus I know. 
5. P. sublobatus, R. 
Annual, very bairy. Leaflets slightly lobed. Peduneles 
long, twining, and proliferous, Legumes cylindric, —_ 
fourteen or fifteen-seeded. 
Beng. Gora moog. 
This plant I have only found in Bengal where it is indige- 
nous. Flowering time the end of the cold and hot seasons. 
Stems twining, very hairy, from three to five feet long, in- 
cluding the proliferous, twining peduncles. Leaves ternate. 
Lasfas the lateral ones gibbous on the outside, the middle 
one somewhat three-lobed, all are hairy, but much less se than 
the stems, branches, and petioles; from two to three inches 
long, and about one and a half or two broad, _Petioles the 
length of the leaflets, channelled, very hairy. Stipules adjoined, 
lanceolate-oblong, ciliate. Peduneles axillary, and terminal, 
the latter very long, proliferous, twining, and pretty smooth,
