96. V. PiNNATA, Clark acc. to DC. 1. c. — Country unknown. Ghies- 

 breght's no. 782 from Chiapas, Mexico, corresponds well with the de- 

 scription as to foliage, winged stem, etc., but has the stem glabra te as in 

 V. gig(mtea, of which it is probably only a winged form.

 Fendler, no. 698; Caracas, Montz, no. 60 (leaves undivided). This 

 species was originally described as having yellow flowers, but this is 

 probably an error. The otherwise excellent description of Kunth and a 

 detailed drawing by Klatt are well matched by the white-flowered plants 

 placed here.
