Among the many specimens sent by Mr Kunstler only one has a leaf with a 

 solitary leaflet, all the other leaves are 3-foliolate. The individual leaflets are 

 extremely like those of typical K. Curtisii and only differ in not being slightly 

 peltate and in being hardly so thick ; the pods however are very different. 



3. KuNSTLERiA FoRBESii Prain. A small shrubby climber 6-10 

 feet long, with densely rusty-pubescent branches. Leaves 8-10 in. long, 

 leaflets 5 elliptic, 35-5 in. long, 2-25 in. wide, terminal rather exceeding 

 the others, bases of all rounded, apex rounded shortly abruptly acuminate, 

 lateral nerves spreading, 6-9 pairs, rather prominent as is the midrib 

 beneath, margin entire ; rigidly coriaceous dark-green subscabrid above 

 densely rusty velvety beneath, petiole rusty-puberulous 3*5 in. long, 

 petiolules "25 in. densely rusty-pubescent. Flowers in rather strict ter- 

 minal and axillary panicles 12-18 in. long 5-6 in. wide, rachis and 

 branches densely rusty-velvety, as are the very short pedicels and 

 lanceolate bracts '1 in. long. OaZ//aj campanulate, densely rusty-velvety, 

 •15 in. long, teeth lanceolate except the triangular slightly bifid upper 

 almost as long as tube. Corolla deep lake-red, '25 in. long, standard 

 oblong. Fod not seen.

4. Kdnstleria RiDLEYi Praiu. A climber with slender pubera- 

 lous branches. Leaves 6-8 in. long, leaflets 5 elliptic, 2-35 in. long, l'25-2 

 in. wide, terminal considerably larger than the others, bases of all nar- 

 rowly truncate, apex tapering to a finally somewhat abrupt blunt point, 

 lateral nerves ascending, 5-6 pairs, rather prominent as is the midrib 

 beneath ; margin entire, firmly chartaceous pale-green glabrous on both 

 surfaces, petiole sparsely pubescent 2-3 in. long, petiolules rusty-pubes- 

 cent, '2 in. long, marginally attached. Flowers in rather strict terminal 

 and axillary panicles 12-18 in. long, 4-5 in. across, rachis and branches 

 sparsely rusty-pubescent ; pedicels very short, and subulate bracts '08 in.
