NOTES ON INDIGOFERA. 
By Davip Pray, F.L.S., anp Epmunp Baxer, F.L.S. 
Tue following notes have been made during the course of an 
examination of some of the types of the older species of Indigofera. 
The primary object of this examination was the elucidation of the 
synonymy, &c., of the ‘“ Indigo- — species,” but notes on some 
of the other species are also inclu 
I, Inentiricarion or Oxrp Mareriau. 
Prior to the publication of Linneeus’s Species Plantar um in 1758 
species they deline 
Rheede, in Tae pats Malabaricus, 1678-1708, vol. i. tab. 54, 
figures a plant which Linneus quotes in his synonymy of 1. tine- 
toria, and which De Candolle, in the Prodromus, ii. p, 224, places 
under his var, a macrocarpa; it is the South Indian plant which is 
I. tinetoria in the Linnean herbarium. Vol. ix. tab. 30, 
ukenet, ; in his Phytographia (1691), figures several species. 
The types of these are preserved in the Sloanean Herbarium in the 
National Collection, and it may be well to give an enumeration of 
them, together with our identifications
