 Canoe Camp. 150 ft. 



This plant is noticeable on account of the pilose stems and glaucous green foliage. 

 Leaflets 10-15 cm. long, 5-8 cm. broad. Flowers numerous, fasciculate-racemose, the 

 rhachis slightly uodoso. Calyx rt 8 mm. long, teeth 3-1 mm. long. Standard 10- 

 11 mm. long, apex emargiuate, ±10 mm. broad. Wings and carina ±10 mm. long. 



Several species ol Tueraria have been already described from New Guinea, but these 

 seem to require a little revision. P. novoguineeiisis, TVarb., is identical with P. Thun- 

 bergiana, Bentb., and P. se7'icans, K. Schum., in tlie ' Index Kewensis,' is considered 

 as synonymous with P. pliaseoloides, Bentb. In P. textilis, Laut. & K. Schum., the 

 calyx is only 4 mm. long, that is much shorter than in P. pilosissima.
