690 SUPPLEMENT— LEGUMlNOSiE. 



from the figure, we think Hooker has correctly referred it to the present 

 species : it certainly is not De Candolle's plant.

1. A. fruticosa. — Excl. /?. (A. glabra, Desf.) A. nana, Nutt.! in Fras. 

 cat. (not oi gen. pi.) &■ Bot. mag. t. 2112, is a mere variety of this species. 



2. A. CaroUniana. — This is A. glabra Desf. ! (fide herb. DC), which 

 name must be restored, although the character is not perfectly applicable to 

 our specimens. 



4. A. nana. — Some confusion has arisen respecting this species, which 

 seems to require explanation. — The plant which Mr. Lambert obtained of 

 Eraser as the Amorpha nana of his Catalogue, which has been in cultivation 

 in England ever since under that name, and which is figured in the Botani- 

 cal Magazine (t. 2112), is a mere variety of A. fruticosa. This is most pro- 

 bably the plant which Nuttall had originally in view, as it accords very well 

 with the wild specimens in Lambert's herbarium, and the A. nana is said in 

 Eraser's Catalogue to be " a very elegant dwarf shrub, with highly odorous 

 purple flowers, &c. ... It appears intermediate between A. fruticosa and 

 A. pubescens, from both which it is evidently distinct." There is besides an 

 "A. microphylla, Nuttall, " m Lambert's herbarium, on which Pursh has 

 founded his A. microphylla, and which is the A. nana of Nuttall's Genera, 

 of Hooker, and of this work.

There are leafy branches of a shrub or tree in Druinmond's Texan Collec- 

 tion (no. 162 of the 2d? Coll.) which appear to belong to this genus, but do 

 not entirely accord with the Mexican E. amorphoides. Should it prove to 

 belong to this genus, as is most probable, the Texan plant may be called 

 E. Drummondii. 



27. DALEA, p. 307. 



2. D. lanuginosa (Nutt.) is D. lanata, Spreng. {syst. 3. p. 327), which 

 name should be adopted. — Missouri, Dr. Engelmann ! 



28. PETALOSTEMON, p. 309. 



4. P. macrostachyum. — Add syn. Dalea compacta, Spreng. syst. 3. p. 

 327 ? — The spikes when young are capitate or oblong merely; but when old 

 they are often much elongated. 



5. P. villosum. — Add syn. Dalea villosa, Spreng. I. c. 



29. TRIFOLIUM, p. 312-320. 



3. T. crioceplialum. — Oregon, Douglas! 



5. T. albopur])ureum is T. Macrcei, Hook. & Arn. ! {hot. misc. 3. p. 179, Sf 

 hot. Beechcy, suppl. p. 330) : the Californian specimens agree exactly with 

 those from Chili, as Hooker observes. — Flowers dark purple, pale at the tips. 

 Stipules often ovate. 



5 {a). T. dichotomum (Hook. & Am.): erect, dichotomous, pilose with 

 spreading hairs ; leaflets narrowly obovate, denticulate ; stipules broadly
