Spondias Kadlkoferi — Leaves 7-9 jugate, about a foot 

 long; leaflets granular-punctate, the upper pairs oblong-lan- 

 ceolate (30-38 X 10-13 !■)> the lower rhomboidal and smaller, 

 obliquely and acutely caudate, midrib and 6-8 costal nerves 

 pubescent: pedicels bracteose at base, shorter than buds, clus- 

 tered toward apex of short tertiary branches of panicle: 

 calyx-lobes round-ovate, obtuse: disk fleshy, depressed, pulvi- 

 nate, radiate, pulverulent: anthers small, quadrate: ovary 

 3-4-locular, styles pointed: fruit not seen. — A species, other- 

 wise similar to 5. lutca L., to which as probably new my

 oblong (20-42x6-16!.), the terminal the greater, acute or 

 obtuse at each end, apex mucronate or retuse: racemes sub- 

 sessile, short (10-18 1.); flowers 6-12, half an inch long,

 its segments 4 times longer and nearly equaling petals: the 

 vexillary round-oval, auriculate, not inflexed, its filament 

 free: ovary silvery lanate.— G. Jassiceana HBK., likewise . 

 with habit of Collcea and flowers of Eitgalactia, differs chiefly 

 by smaller elliptical leaves emarginate at base with the term-
