not properly be referred to A. Icevigata Nutt. 69 which, according to 

 Nuttall and my own observations, has the leaflets attenuate at the 

 base, a glabrous calyx and very long racemes. Both A. texana and 

 its variety have leaflets with rounded bases, a pubescent calyx and 

 short racemes. A. fianiculata T. & G. 70 is so very different from A. 

 texana mollis, as exemplified by the very rugose or veiny leaflets and 

 different inflorescence, that there seems to be no good reason for 

 confounding them, as was done by Watson. 71 



Amorpha tennessensis Shuttlw. Ind. Sem. Lips. 1848, 1 (Lin- 

 naea 24 : 191, 1851). 

 This species, contrasted with A. fruticosa L. 1. c, its nearest 

 relative, may be recognized by the relatively smaller legumes and 

 the smaller and much more numerous leaflets, especially those 

 which are borne on the twigs and shoots produced after the flower- 

 ing season. Grows on the banks of stream's in middle Tennessee, 

 and is distributed eastward to North Carolina and southward to 

 Georgia and Alabama. — F. E. Boynton.
