430 Mr. G. Bcntham's Enumeration of the Plants 



To the section Eucrotalaria belongs the following : 



87. Crotalar'ia leptoplnjlla, suffruticosa ?, glabriuscula, foliis petiolatis 

 trifoliolatis, foliolis oblongo-linearibus utrinque longc angustatis, racemis 

 subtcrminalibus paucifloris laxis, bracteis bractcolisque minutis deciduis, 

 calycibus corolla triplo brcvioribus late campanulatis Bubaequaliter quinque- 

 fidis, laciniis latcralibus utrinque apice connatis, leguminibus glabris. — Sa- 

 vannahs of the Rupunoony. Schomburgk. — On the Rio Preto, in Brasil. 

 Pohl. Petiolus semipollicaris v. interdum pollicaris. Foliolum intermedium 

 2 — 3-pollicare, lateralia breviora v. in foliis supremis nulla. Flores ampli 

 C. arborcscentis. Vexilli unguis appendiculatum villosum. Alae valde pli- 

 catas. Ovarium tenuiter pubescens. 



Among the Brasilian species of this section, Pohl's collection, be- 

 sides the above and the C. incana and vitcllina, contains six new ones, 

 and I have two or three others from other collectors. The most re- 

 markable is the following : 



C.unifollolata, suffruticosa, glabra vel tenuissime adpresso-pubescens, foliis 

 exstipulatis, foliolo unico ad apicem petioli articulato oblongo-elliptico, ra- 

 cemo terminali multifloro, bracteis minutissimis, calyce campanulato ebrac- 

 teato semi quinque-fido, leguminibus sericeo-villosis. — Brasil. Schiicbt. 

 Near Oretiro. Pohl. 



It is impossible not to admit, with the younger Agardh, the close 

 affinity to Crotalaria of the genus Lupinus, which indeed differs in 

 nothing but the form of the pod. Among the simple-leaved species 

 the L. integrifolius, Linn., and L. Cochinchinensis, Lour., must cer- 

 tainly be removed as not belonging to the genus, and the following 

 three new Brasilian ones may be added, all allied to L. villosus, but 

 specifically distinct : 



L. velutinus, perennis, erectus v. basi decumbens, molliter et adpresse 

 lanuginoso-villosus, foliis breviter petiolatis stipulatis oblongis ellipticisve 

 acutis, basi angustatis, floribus dense spicatis, calycis bibracteolati labiis sub- 

 integris. — On the Rio San Francisco. Pohl. 



L. subsessilis, perennis, decumbens, molliter et adpresse lanuginoso-villo- 

 sus, foliis subsessilibus stipulatis ovali-oblongis acutis basi angustatis, floribus 

 laxe spicatis, calycis bibracteolati labio superiore bifido inferiore subintegro. 

 — Sierra da Chrystais. Pohl. 



L. coriaceas, suffruticosus ? ramis suberectis hirsutis, foliis exstipulatis 

 sessilibus oblongo-linearibus basi angustatis subglabris coriaceis, spica laxi- 

 uscula, calycis bibracteolati labio superiore breviter bifido inferiore subinte- 

 gro. — Near Tejnco, and in the Serra Frio. Vauthier, n. 141 and 142. 



Subtribe Indigofer^e. 



Having removed Clitoria and most of the genera included by De 



Candolle in his subtribe of Clitoriea to Phaseolea, Chcetoealyx being 



now known to be a Iledysarea, and Psoralen forming, with Dalea, 



Petalostemon and some others, a distinct subtribe under the name of
