 not been able to see any specimens collected by them.)

(The pods of the Louisiana specimens are extremely variable, some 

 being markedly moniliform, others hardly constricted between the seeds. 

 The same variation in the fruit was very noticeable in the many speci- 

 mens the writer examined in the Shaw Herbarium.)
