—var. foliis 3-5-pollicaribus, acumine subpollicari retuso.— 
Frutex sarmentosus, floribus albis. — British Guiana. Schom- 
burgk, n. 492. French Guiana. Herb. Richard.— This va- 
riety, remarkable for the size of its leaves, was considered by 
the elder Richard as a distinct species under the name of 
E, mucronatum. 
Ecastophyllum pubescens, of which I have received from the ; 
Paris Museum fine specimens, gathered in Cayenne by 
Martin, has the inflorescence of E. Monetaria, 9 stamina, of 
which one is free and the remainder equally diadelphous, the 
leaflets smaller than in most species, and the pod thin as in | 
E. Monetaria. Allied to it in foliage is the following new - 
species from the same collection :—Z. foliosum; ramulis 
petiolisque ferrugineo-puberulis, foliolis 5-7 alternis ovatis ob- 
longisve glabris, inflorescentia subcymosa, leguminibus crassis 
| ovato-orbiculatis glabris. The specimens are in fruit only. 
Of the next genus, Moutouchia (Aubl.), I have now ex- 
amined the flowers of M. Draco, and seen the fruit of M. 
Draco, M. suberosa, and a third species or variety allied to — 
M. suberosa, but apparently with a larger and less rugose - 
fruit and narrower leaflets. They are all three in the Guiana -
