1.8mm. long. Wings cuneate-orbicular, somewhat venose, broadly 
rounded at apex, rather abruptly short-clawed, 3.5 mm. long, 2.8 
mm. wide. Keel 3.8 mm. long, mauve-purple with yellow apex. 
Upper petals obovate, 2.8 mm. long. Capsule oval, ca. 2.6 mm. 
long. Mature seed not seen. — Chod.! Monog. ii. 67. t. 13. f. 8-9 
(1893). — Cusa: eastern part, 1856-57, Wright 112 p. p. (TYPE 
coLL.: K).— The specimen of this number in hb. Kew. agrees 
essentially with Chodat’s description of P. Wrightii, except that 
the flowers are larger (not ‘‘ 2 mm. vel paullo longiores ”’) and the 
wings by no means “ duplo fere longiores quam latae.’’ Without 
seeing Chodat’s actual types (hb. Krug and Urban) I do not ven- 
ture to base another name on this number of Wright’s, which in- 
cludes also P. cubensis Chod. (type), P. grandiflora var. leptophylla 
Chod., and P. angustifolia HBK. — that is, all the Cuban forms of 
immediate relationship.
