difference in the pod froni the true Indigoferas; Rhynchotropis Harms is 

 retained as a distinct genus on account of the barbulate anthers ; Sphae- 

 ridiophonim Desvaux with an ovoid globose legume is kept as a section. 

 Two new groups are proposed in tlie Eiiindigoferae : Heterophyllae with 

 simple leaves associated with Compound leaves (e. g. /. Schweinfiirthii 

 Taubert); and Opertiflorae with flowers concealed by broad imbricating 

 bracts (e. g. /. strobilifera Höchst.). 



The new species described are: Indigofera lotononoides, I. Tliom- 

 soni, I. variabilis N. E. Brown, /. monantha. F. E. Eritsch.

Material collected on the north shore of Lake Superior. It has alsa 

 been observed at certain points in Michigan. A description of the 

 thallus is given and the resemblance to similar genera is pointed out. 

 Sections showed a kind of alveolar structure in the interior of the thallus^ 

 which does not seem to have been previously mentioned and which may 

 be an adaptation to secure buoyancy. Moore.

Schombiirgkia Galeottiana, which was formerly correctly identified 

 with Schombiirgkia tibicinis grandiflora and in the Kew Index referred 

 to 5. tibicinis, is found to be specifically distinct from this latter species. 

 It has much larger flowers than 5. tibicinis with broader, purplish-rose 

 and but slightly wavy sepals and petals and a broader labellum of an 

 entirely different shape. F. E. Fritsch.
