is sacge ically L. leta, and the named specimen of L. sanguinea, 
ued to Kew from the Calcutta Botanic Garden, i is L. lata ; but it 
is is Leahily probable that Kurz has got a specimen of L. rubra

and I have issued it under that name both to Kurz and to 
L. Wie C. B. Clarke.—Leaves 2-8-pinnate, glabrous ;

5 by 2 in., the terminal one often cuneate at the base, the lateral 
rounded ; ne 10 on each side the mi art; crena-
