Hab. 'Tropical America: near Guayaquil. 
We have no specimen of this species; but from a cursory glance at the one in the Humboldtian her- 
barium at Paris it appeared to me to be allied to, but distinct from, the two following, and remarkable 
for the size of the leaflets. 
131. C. EMARGINATA, Linn. ! Spec. Pl. 538. Foliola 3-5-juga, rarius hinc inde bijuga, 
lata, obtusissima, supra pubescentia, subtus molliter tomentosa. Racemi breves, axillares 
v. ad nodos defoliatos fasciculati. Bracteæ parvæ, caduce.

C. chrysophylla, A. Rich. Fl. Cub. i. 500, ex char.

This species varies much in the breadth of the leaves. The anthers are sometimes quite glabrous, 
sometimes sprinkled with rather rigid short hairs.

Hab. Tropical America: Mexico, Central America, Guayaquil, Pavon. 
Very closely allied to C. emarginata, differing in the less obtuse, often acute or acuminate leaflets. 
Linnæus’s specimen is a young seedling in leaf only, but it appears to be the same plant as the one grown 
in the Montpellier and other Continental botanic gardens as C. atomaria. 
Var. GLABRATA, racemis longioribus multifloris, foliolis amplis obtusioribus.
