Variat oliolis latioribus angustioribusque ; pube nunc rara v. 
nulla, nunc in ramulis petiolisque densiore. A shrub gene- 
rally cultivated in the warmer climates of both hemispheres 
for the perfume derived from its flowers. It appears to be 
commonly indigenous in America, from New Orleans, Texas, 
and Mexico, to Buenos Ayres, and Chili. It also frequently 
occurs in collections from the Mediterranean, from Africa, 
from E. India, and even from the Phillippine Islands, and 
the Indian Archipelago, but, in most of these cases, at least, 
it is cultivated. 
237. A. Cavenia (Hook. et Arn. in Bot. Beech, 21), pu- 
bescenti-scabra v. glabriuscula, spinis rectis, pinnis 5-10- 
jugis, glandulis depressis parvis, foliolis 10-20-jugis minimis 
oblongo-linearibus obtusis, legumine crasso oblongo-cylin- 
draceo turgido v. subfusiformi subincurvo glaberrimo, semi- 
nibus confertis.— 4. aromatica, Popp. Fl. Exo. n. 177.— 
Vix ab. 4. farnesiana distinguitur nisi foliolis vix unquam 
semilinea longioribus et legumine paullo breviore.—Common 
in Chili and Buenos Ayres. 
238. A. cochliacantha, (Humb. et Bonpl. in Willd. 
Spec. iv. 1081). This species is unknown to me. From 
ünth's figure and description, (Mim. 93. t. 29), it appears 
to have the foliage and flowers of A. Cavenia, but many of the 
spines are large and inflated, concave underneath. The pod 
is unknown.—Guayaquil, Humboldt and Bonpland. 
239. A. choriophylla (sp. n.), floribus exceptis glaberrima, 
stipulis minutis spinescentibus nunc obsoletis, pinnis 1-2- 
jugis, glandulis depressis obscuris, foliolis 3-5-jugis oblongo- 
ellipticis ovalibusve obtusissimis coriaceis nitidis, pedunculis 
crassiusculis, capitulis puberulis, legumine oblongo-faleato 
turgido glaberrimo, seminibus confertis.—Foliola foliis Busi
