ovate, acute, $ line in length: petals 2 lines long, with involute margins : 
stamens 10; anthers linear-oblong, twice the length of the filaments : 
disk deeply crenate. 
NISSOLIA CONFERTIFLORA, Wats., var. LAXIOR. Agreeing with the 
type in foliage and technical characters, but having flowers nearly twice 
as large (34-4 lines in length) upon more elongated pedicels. — Col- 
lected in the barranca of Beltran, 5 June, 1893 (no 4379). 
4ESCHYNOMENE AMORPHOIDES, Rose in litt. Brya (?) amor- 
phoides, Wats. (Proc. Am. Acad. xxii. 406). Excellent flowering 
and fruiting specimens of this plant, collected by Mr. Pringle in the 
barranca of Tequila, 1 October, 1893 (no. 4613), fully confirm the 
view expressed in a letter from Dr. J. N. Rose, that it should be 
referred to the genus schynomene, ‘The stamineal tube early splits 
on the ventral or lower side, and the pods are in all respects those of 
an schynomene. : 
Currorta (?) sertora, Wats. (Proc. Am. Acad. xxii. 407). Ad- 
ditional specimens collected on rocky hills near Guadalajara, June 
and July, 1893 (no. 4449), show the flowers of this species not hitherto 
described. Calyx short, campanulate, silky-villous, with narrow acu- 
minate spreading teeth equalling the tube: corolla light blue, villous 
upon the outer surface, 6-7 lines long; petals subequal in length; 
the standard erect, open, orbicular, slightly thickened at the insertion 
of the claw; ale oblong, abruptly contracted to a short claw: style 
bearded upon the upper surface: stamens all united.— An anomalous 
plant with the calyx rather of Centrosema but the bearded style and 
other characters of Olitoria. 
CaLOGANIA PULCHELLA, HBK., var. RACEMOSA. Leaflets broadly 
ovate, acutish: all or nearly all of the flowers borne in leafless axillary 
Tacemes (4-6 inches in length).— Collected by Dr. Edward Palmer 
at Tequila, Jalisco, August to September, 1886 (no. 379), and by 
Mr. Pringle near Guadalajara, 15 September, 1893 (no. 5164). 
GALACTIA MULTIFLORA. Stems slender, woody, grayish brown, 
much branched, ascending, not twining: twigs, petioles, and peduncles 
cinereous-tomentose: leaves pinnately trifoliate; leaflets oval or some- 
what obovate, rounded or retuse at the apex, dull green and glabrate 
above, cinereous-tomentose beneath; veins slightly prominent beneath ; 
the lateral veins 7 to 9 pairs, parallel; margin slightly thickened and 
revolute; terminal leaflet 15 lines in length, two thirds as broad; the 
lateral slightly smaller: racemes axillary, 2-3 inches in length: buds 
acutely lanceolate in outline: calyx purplish, silky-villous, deeply 4- 
cleft, 4 lines in length; the upper segment oblong, acuminate; the —
