island. Jervis Isl. : occasional at 1000 ft. (no. 1584). Nar- 

 BOROUGH Isl. : north side, Snodgrass and Heller. Seymour 

 IsL.^ 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.

 Glycine tenuiflora Willd. Sp. HI. 1059 (1801-1803). Galactea 

 dubia DC. Prodr. II. 238 (1825). — Indefatigable Isl.: 

 southeast side, common vines at 600 ft. (no. 1569). James 

 Isl. : James Bay, occasional 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

 1132 (1803). Geoffraea superba H. & B. PI. Aequin. II. 69, t. 

 100 (1809) ; Rob. (1), 152.— Charles Isl.: 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, 

 (no. 1588). Further distr. trop. S. Am.
