PTEROLOBIUM. LEGUMINOSÆ. 283 
To this genus also belongs Cesalpinia minapipas; Roxb. (in E. I. C. mus. tab. 
1425), C. Suma , Roxb. (in E. I. C. mus. tab. 1423), C. hymenocarpa, Wall. L. n. 
5832, and probably some others in Wallich's List. 
876. (1) M. cucullatum (W. & A.:) scandent, armed, very glabrous: pinnæ 
of the leaves 3-7 pair; leaflets 4-5 pair, ovate, pointed, coriaceous, shining 
on the upper side: panicles terminal and axillary, composed of a few simple 
rigid racemes: lower sepal much longer than the others: upper petal deeply 
2-lobed, vaulted and much incurved : legume linear-oblong, thin, 1—2-seeded.

The leaflets are from one to three inches long: we therefore suspect it to be 
also C. grandis, Wall. L. n. 5830, the more as Dr Wight sent specimens of this 
Mezeneurum to Dr Wallich, which must be either those referred to under C. 
grandis, or are not noticed in his list; but we have not seen that number. 
Of n. 5828, we have examined a and e; the latter agrees better with Rox- 
burgh’s detailed description than his own (very imperfect) specimen does.

insti is genus i i 's Travels to Abyssini 
Monti de Bence (Mimosa 3 R xi ru we x eTa ), and Camssipials 
lacerans of Roxburgh: we regret that as at present we have not access to that work, 
we have been obliged to draw up our generic character from the Indian plant alone; 
nor do we know how far they are distinct. ;
