36 PLANT.E WRIGHTIAN.E. VI. 



19-spermo inter semina interstincto. — (Near Monterey, Mexico, Dr. Edwards, 

 in herb. Torr.) Valleys in the mountains between the San Pedro and the Sonoita, 

 Sonora (in flower and with young fruit); and on hills between the Barbocomori 

 and Santa Cruz (with ripe pods); Sept. (963.) — Plant a foot high. Lobes of 

 the calyx elongated-subulate, a little shorter than the corolla. Legumes 2 to 

 2^ inches long, a line and a half wide, straight or nearly so, perfectly glabrous in 

 the specimens from the first-named locality ; but minutely pubescent in the others. 

 The latter likewise have smaller leaflets (only half an inch in length) with a shorter 

 mucro, and the soft silky pubescence deciduous, except that of the margins and 

 midrib. — The genus is a yet unpublished one of Mr. Bentham, equivalent to 

 Tephrosia § Craccoides of De CandoUe, including also T. Caribaea, &c. ; but is 

 nearer Coursetia than Tephrosia. 



Tephrosia leucaxtha, H.B.K. Nov. Gen. Sf Sp. 6. p. 460. t. 5771 Hill-sides 

 between Barbocomori and Santa Cruz, Sonora ; Sept. (964.) — The stems are one 

 or two feet high, from a thickened root, terminated by a single short raceme, which 

 bears ripe pods only. The foliage, calyx, &c. accord very well with Kunth's 

 figure. The legumes are widely spreading, 1^ to 2 inches long, 2 lines wide, linear, 

 straight or nearly so, pointed, thickly clothed with a yellowish villous tomentum. 

 Seeds 8-10. The flowers not seen. 



T. LEiocARPA (sp. nov.): caule erecto subsimplici petiolis calycibusque pube 

 minuta appressa cinereis ; stipulis setaceis ; foliolis 8- 10-jugis cum imparl lincari- 

 oblongis obtusis raucronatis supra glabris subtus sericeis juventute canescentibus ; 

 pedunculis terminalibus et in axillis summis brevibus plurifloris ; calycis lobis 

 triangulari-subulatis tubo longioribus ; legumine recto 10-14-spermo glaberrimo; 

 — On the Sonoita, near Deserted Rancho, Sonora; Sept. (965.) — Stems a foot 

 or more in height, rather slender, very numerous from a thick and lignescent root. 

 Leaflets 9 to 14 lines long, 3 lines wide, often a little narrowed towards the base, 

 thickish. Peduncle, with the rhachis, 2 to 4 inches long. Flowers not seen. Un- 

 ripe pods linear, about 2 inches long, 3 lines wide, flat, very smooth, not stijiitate. 



T. TEJs^ELLA (sp. nov.) : annua, glabella ; caule ranioso spithamseo ; stipulis setaceis ; 

 foliolis 1-3-jugis cum imparl linearibus obtusis membranaceis subtus (sub lente) 

 parce striguloso-puberulis ; racemis oppositifoliis paucifloris ; pedicellis plerisque 

 geminis paribus remotis, infimis ad basim pedunculo folio bracteatis ; laciniis calycis 

 subulatis, posticis ad medium coalitis ; staminibus diadelphis ; legumine rectiusculo 

 glabello. — Pebbly beds of mountain torrents, near the San Pedro, Sonora ; Sept. 

 (966.) — Stems slender, branched from the base, erect or diffuse. Leaflets mostly 3 

 or 5, an inch long, H to 3 lines wide, mucronate, thin, green both sides, the straight 

 veins not conspicuous underneath. Peduncle 3-5 inches long, with an internode of 

 one to three inches between the lowest pair of pedicels (which are as if axillary) 

 and the next pair. Bracts minute. Flowers 3 lines long, simple. Legume spread- 

 ing, 12 to 16 lines long, 2 lines wide, 6 - 7-seeded. 



Glycirrhiza lepidota, Nutt ; Gray, PL Wri(jht. p. 50. G. glutinosa, Nutt. 

 Along the Rio Grande above and below El Paso. Also on the Mirabres; July,
