distinguished from all the prec 



as by the pod forming a complete circle, and at least as broad as in P. fasciculatum, but with a few pro- 

 minent transverse branching veins, which in all the allied species are either very obscure or quite obsolete. 



25. P. GRANDiPLOErM, Benth. ! Fl. Atistral. ii. 424. Subglabrum. Pinnae 1-2-jugae ; 

 foliola 2-6-juga, ovata, acuminata, lJ-2-pollicaria. Panicula terminalis. Flores sericeo-

ITab. Tropical and subtropical East Australia. 



F. Mueller blames me for not having adopted his specific name of Tozeri, which he had sent me attached 

 to his specimens, and which he now proposes to restore. I have always felt it my duty to adopt his 

 manuscript names to the new Australian species where there were no predominant reasons against it ; 

 but in this instance I had already described the plant from Banks and Solandcr's specimens under 

 Solander^a name when I received P. Mueller^s. Moreover^ having two manuscript names before me, I 

 could not adopt both ; and if any right of priority can be admitted in unpublished names, it was certainly 

 by far in favour of Solander^s. The farther ground urged by F. Mueller, the accident met with by Mr^ 

 Tozer in gathering the specimens, is one for sympathy on the part of botanists, not for changing the 

 name of a species ; the tree is said to be a very handsome one, with flowers still larger than in P. affi,ne.

Hah. Extratropical East Australia, near Ballina, Eichmond river, Henderson. 



I have not seen this species, which P. Mueller says resembles P. ffrandifl&rum, but has no glands 

 between the leaflets, which are more sessile, and the flowers slender and glabrous.
