DO. {DoUchos lineatus Thuub.) from tlie sea-coast of Japan as de- 

 scribed by De Candolle {DC, Frodr., ii., 404) and Thunberg [Flor. 

 Japon., 280) and as figured by linuma Yokusai {8dmoko-Dusets, 

 ed. ii., vol. xiii., t. 20); the species miglit therefore be best known 

 as Canavalia lineaia. The name " ohtusifolia " is more appropriate 

 to C. lineata as here understood than to the true C. ohtusifolia of 

 Rheede's figure. In this respect^ however, both species are variable, 

 for the leaves of the Japanese plant {Doliches lineatus Thbg.) are 

 quite like those of the Penang one (Canavalia turgida Grab.) and 

 of that figured by Rheede, though its pods are quite like those of 

 the emarginate-leaved Chinese plant [DoUchos ohcordatus Roxb.) 

 and of the rounded or emarginate-leaved Madras plant {Qanavalia 

 ohtusifolia Baker, not DO.)
