The Sinaloa specimens differ from typical C. leptadenia var. 
jaliscensis in the stouter, more shortly stipitate petiolar glands, 
and the somewhat larger flowers.

C. pauciflora was collected by Humboldt and Bonpland at La 
Venta del Peregrino, 1080 ft., in Guerrero, about 30 miles (52 
miles by road) north-north-east of Acapulco. The leaflets are 
described as 4-5 lines long, viscous and glabrous, and obtuse. 
The species accepted by Seemann, Bentham, and others as C. 
pauciflora H.B.K. differs from Kunth’s description in several 
respects. The leaflets are not glabrous, are often more than 4-5 
lines long, and possess a distinct mucro, which latter is not 
mentioned by Kunth. The racemes, also, can hardly be described 
as few-flowered. Its distribution is from Sinaloa to Nicaragua. 
As there is no other species known from the neighbourhood of 
Acapulco which can be referred to C. pauciflora, it seems possible 
that the identification may be correct, and it is therefore desirable 
to retain the name for the present.
