nn ie eae) FISHERIANA, sp. п. Shrub with lax, 
angulate, brown branches which, like the petioles, peduncles 
a calyx, are densely black- -glandular ; common petioles 2-3 
m. long; primary leaf divisions about airs, 1.5 cm. long, 
ultimate leaflets about 7 pairs, the lower very slightly petiolu- 
late, coriaceous, oblong or slightly oblanceolate, the base trun- 
pedicels about 1 cm. long, slender; calyx much imbricated, 
sepals oblong- E reddish w ith broad light colored mar- 
gins, about 6 mm. long, the petals nearly one-half longer; pod 
broadly oblong, slightly incurved, with a recurved, abrupt, 
acutely tapering point, densely beset with longish tapering 
glands. 
Bolivian plateau, 1891. (756, in part, perhaps distributed as 
ба.) 
CÆSALPINIA (Hoffmannsegg га) ROSULATA, sp.n. Stems stout, deep 
purple, glabrous, apparently prostrate with short, stout, SIR 
branches, bearing the fo oliage and d crowded a 
their summits ; ‘petioles slender, 5-8 mm. long; primary leaf 
divisions onl r 2 pairs, on petiolules abo m. lon 
ultimate leaflet ut 5 pairs, thickish, scarcely petiolulate, 
der and w eak, 5-6 mm. ле апа tie the a very minutely 
downy; otherwise the flowers very similar to those of the 
last; pods slightly narrower than in the last, a a. smaller, 
the more slender point continuing the curve of t od, the 
sutures thickened, the surface beset with short, ed black 
glands; seed much flattened, quadrangulate, greenish brown, 
dull. 
Bolivian plateau, 1891 (756, in part). 
All these Cesa/pinias would be placed in Hoffmannseggia were 
the latter maintained distinct. Their intermediate character justi- 
fies the consolidation of the two genera as has been proposed.
