V. DIAGNOSES AND TRANSFERS AMONG THE SPERMA- 
TOPHYTES. 
- By B. L. Rosinson. 
In the course of routine work at the Gray Herbarium during the 
last few months the writer has found it necessary to employ a number 
of new names, resulting either through transfers of the plants in ques- 
tion or rendered needful by the provisions of the International Rules 
of Botanical Nomenclature. That these names may have proper 
status they are here given published record, together with a few diag- 
noses of new species. Two plants characterized at the Gray Her- 
barium by Mr. Sidney F. Blake and a transfer made by Mr. Sumner C. 
Brooks are included by request. 
Inga (§ Diadema) Peckii, spec. nov., pedunculis exceptis glabra; 
ramis teretibus cortice griseo a lenticellis numerosis scabrato tectis

British Honduras, Prof. Morton E. Peck, no. 673 (type, in Gray Herb.). 
A species nearly related to I. jinicwil Schlecht. but differing ™ i 
much shorter peduncles, thicker duller and less reticulated leaflets, 
shorter corolla-teeth, exserted stamen-tube, etc. From the imper- 
fectly described and wholly obscure I. coriacea (Moe. & Sess-) G. Don 
it differs in having leaflets symmetrical not oblique at the base. 
Acacia bucerophora, spec. nov., fruticosa vel arborea; ramis terety
