island. Jervis Ist.: occasional at 1000 ft. (no. 1584). Nar- 
BOROUGH IsL.: north side, Snodgrass and Heller. SEYMOUR 
Ist., NORTH: Snodgrass and Heller. None of the specimens 
of this species from the Galapagos Islands, either in the Gray 
Herbarium or in the Academy’s collection, shows the ciliated 
standard as described and figured by Kunth, Mimos. 197, t. 55. 
There is also much variation in the size and shape of the leaves, 
as well as in the amount of pubescence. Further distr. S. Am.

southeast side, common vines at 600 ft. (no. 1569). JAMEs 
Ist.: James Bay, occasiona! on the lower parts of the island 
(no. 1570). All of the specimens collected are sterile, but they 
closely resemble specimens of this species in the Gray Herb- 
arium in the foliage and in the length of the racemes. Further

100 (1809) ; Rob. (1), 152.—Cuartes Ist.: a grove of low 
spreading trees of this species is found in the vicinity of an old 
habitation at 450 ft. The specimens collected by Snodgrass 
and Heller are probably from this locality and not Hood Isl., 
as there are evidently no trees of this species there. The grove 
on Charles Isl. is just to the right of the main trail leading into 
the interior of the island, and is so situated that it would 
hardly be missed by any one collecting plants in the locality.
