Crotal.^.ia pilosa. This plant was grown in Clielsea Garden 

 from seeds sent from Vera Cruz by Houstoun. It is figm-ed by 

 Martyn (Flist. PI. liar. t. 43), the plant from which the drawing 

 was made being grown in Chelsea Garden from seeds sent by 

 Robert Millar from Porto Belle. With this corresponds a specimen 

 from Herb. Cliffort., labelled C. sa<iittalis, which species was founded 

 on the description in ILirtus CUJfortianus, p. 356 : the specimen is 

 var. ft. of Hort. Cliff. The synonyms cited from Hermann, Tourne- 

 fort, and Plukenet do not belong here, nor does Gronovius's plant 

 cited by Liunaaus in ^7^. Fl. i. 714. Marcgrave's early figure of 

 Sagittaria cnrdialis cited in Hort, Cliff, probably, however, comes 

 here. 



Crotalaria sAGiTTALis. Miller says that this plant was sent him 

 from South Carolina by Dale, and from Jamaica by Houstoun. 

 Neither of his two specimens — one in flower, the other in fruit — is 

 localized. Both are imperfect, but suggest C. pterocaula Desv. 



Considerable confusion has arisen as to C. satjittalis L., the 

 complete solution of which requires a fuller investigation than we 

 have been able to bestow upon it. It may be noted, however, that 

 the species was founded in Hurt. Cliff. 35G (1737), and, as has 

 already been said, the description there and the specimen in Herb. 

 Cliftbrt. seem to correspond with the plant subsequently known as 

 ('. ptcroraida Uesv. Linnjeus in IJoit. Cliff, distinguishes three 

 forms : a. is based on Pluk. Aim. t. 277, fig. 2, the plant afterwards, 

 in DeCandoUe's Prod ramus, distinguished as C. PursJiii: there are 

 three specimens from Plukenet in Herb. Sloane, all of which agree 

 with the figure and description, ft. is the plant of the Cliifort 

 Herbarium, and is, as has been said, identical with C. jnUsa ]\lill. 

 y. (" foliis lanigeris ovatis ") we do not know. 



In the Siiccica f'ldiitantm, 714 (1753), C sai/ittidis is established 

 on the plant of I J art. ( 'I iff., to which is added the plant of Gronovius,
