° Calliandra calothyrsus Meissn. was discovered by Kegel in 
1846, in woods by the Saramacca River, near Maripaston-kreek, 
Surinam, and does not appear to have been collected since (Pulle, 
Enum. Vasc. Pl. Surinam, 205; 1906). It is described as having 
oblong obscurely 1-nerved leaflets, 2 lin. long and hardly 3% lin. 
broad, and a very shortly 5- toothed hein characters which 
definitely exclude the Guatemalan species
