NOTES ON INDIGOFERA 141 
Appendix to the Mantissa, p. 571. The first synonym, Psoralea 
pinnata, is in Harvey’s Flora Capensis, and by other botanists con- 
sidered now as a true Psoralea. e synonym ‘‘Colutea ennea- 
phyllos, &. Pluk. 118, t. 166, fig. 2” is the plant as we now 
understand it; but the next, ‘‘ Colutea enneaphyllos siliquosa, &c. 
Pluk. Alm. 112, t. 166, fig. 8,’ is I. viscosa Lam. 
*Hedysarum prostratum Burm. FI. Ind. t. 54, fig. 2 (sic); L. Mant. 
p. 102 (1767), for which ‘‘ Colutea minima dispermos. Pluk. Phyt. 
t. 165, fig. 4” is quoted, is 7. enneaphylla L.; and Burmann’s name 
and plate are quoted by Linnzus in his revised diagnosis on p. 571.

Linnzus, when describing his J. argentea, quotes two synonyms a 
1. “Anil leguminibus arcuatis incanis, &c. Miller, Dict. 1. 
named in the National Collection shows. : 
2. “Colutea fruticosa argentea, &c. Sloane, Jam. p. 142; Hist. 
2, p. 87, t. 176, fig. 8.” There are two sheets of this in the 
Sloanean Herbarium. The first has three specimens—two are the 
plant figured by Sloane which is J. Anil L. var. oligophylla DC., the 
third being the plant which is var. polyphylla DC. Sheet 2, marked 
by Sloane “‘ precedentis varietas,” is wholly occupied by I. Anil L. 
var. polyphylla DC. The Linnean description refers to the plant 
we now call J. articulata Gouan. j ; 
Chabreeus (Stirpium, p. 82 (1666)) figures and describes a species 
which he names “ Colutes foliis anil.”” As will be seen from the 
divisi Colutee vulgaris, ovata glauca quinquefolia communiter, 
rarius trifolia, ex communi costa incana. De flore & semine nihil

Linneus on p. 571.
