SCHOMBURGK'S GUIANA PLANTS. 69 
184. Andira laurifolia, Benth, Ann. Mus. Vind. Il. p. 109. 
—On the Rio Quitaro, British Guiana. Schomburgk, n. 
587. Serra Jacobina, province of Bahia in Brazil, Blanchet, 
n. 2723.. Amongst Martin's Cayenne plants is Andira retusa, 
(Kunth), to which is to be referred the Geoffroya pubescens, 
(Rich.). Gardner's n. 1538, from Ceará, is a new species of 
Andira. | Blanchet's n. 2650, from the Serra Jacobina, and 
Gardner's n. 964, from Pernambuco, and 1911, from Ceara, 
are the Geoffroya superba, (H. B.K.) The Geoffroye, as now 
limited, appear to be really distinct from Andira, by the 
form of the calyx, the simple racemose inflorescence, the 
yellow colour of the flowers, and the alternate arrangement 
of the leaflets. Amongst Martin's Cayenne plants is the fol- 
lowing new species. G. discolor; foliolis 7 —9 ovali-oblongis 
acuminatis v. obtusiusculis.basi obliquis glabriusculis supra 
viridibus subtus canescentibus, racemis calycibusque ferru- 
gineo-tomentosis, vexillo extus pubescente. Folia adulta 
- pedalia, foliolis 2—3 pollicaribus. Ramali et petioli juniores 
ferruginei, adulti glabrati. 
185. Dipteryx oppositifolia, Willd.—DC. Prodr. Il. p. 477. 
—Taralea oppositifolia, Aubl. Pl, Guian. Il. p. 745. t. 298.— 
. À tree of fifty or sixty feet, beautifully covered with lilac 
.  blossoms, the wood uncommonly hard. On the Rio Quitaro, 
British Guiana, Schomburgk, n, tp mini pterota, — 
(Mart.) is the same species as D. alata, (Vogel), published 
amit the same time. It occurs in many Brazilian collections. 
— - My genus Commilobium appears to be identical with Vogel’s 
ue Sisto: although that author does not mention the petaloid 
. mature of the upper lobes of the calyx, and describes the : 
. wings of the corolla as entire, His species, however, with - 
. only 7 leaflets to tbe leaves, is evidently different from either 
.. 9f mine’; and Blanchet's n. 2805, from the Serra Acurua, is 
we * fourth species, hitherto unpublished.
