Tropical forests of the Conoan and Oeissa. 



A woody climber, with thinly siUky branches. Leaves reaching 1 ft. long ; leaflets- 

 2-3 in. long, scarcely more than membranous, glabrous above, obscurely silky or gla- 

 brescent below ; petiolules short, with large setaceous stipellse. Sacemes copiously pa- 

 nicled, the flowers not fascicled on short branchlets, but close shortly pedicellate on 

 the main rachis ; bracts exceeding the bads, setaceous, deciduous. Cali/x ^ in., densely 

 silky. Corolla f-J in., whitish. Pod linear, narrow, ^ ftiong, 4-5-seeded.
