THE GENUS BORBONIA LINN. LEGUMINOS^. 403 



This variety links up B. lancculata with B. barbata. Keinslcy 

 iioi has the habit of the latter, but differs in having lanceolate 

 and not ovate-acuminate leaves. Schlcchter 9732 and Bolus 

 (from Elim) have the habit of B. lanceolata, but the branches 

 and calyx are villous. 



The following additional localities have been given me by 

 Mr. Hutchinson, but as I have net seen the specimens, some of 

 which m;ay belong to the above varieties, I have kept them 

 siparate.
