MEMOIRS OF THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN 



rounded, sli<;litly inequilateral base and short-ari state suinniit, 

 entire, pale or grayish-green on both sides, the venation lightly 

 impressed above, prominent beneath, the secondaries about 14 

 on each side, with some short intermediate ones, ascending and 

 lightly curved, connected by very many crooked tertiaries. 

 Racemes axillary and terminal, solitary or two or three together, 

 the angled peduncles nearly twdce as long as the very densely 

 flowered rachis. Calyx ferruginous, 5 mm. long, 4 mm. broad, 

 campanulate, the lobes 1.5 mm. long, obtuse, erect. Corolla 

 sericeous, nearly 2 cm. long, infundibular-campanulate, the lobes 

 about 6 mm. long, ovate, obtusish. Stamens 5 to 6 cm. long, 

 adnate to the very base of the calyx, connate for about 1 cm. 

 Ovary very small and apparently sterile in my specimens. Style 

 shorter than the stamens, the stigma capitate, very small. 



Canamina, 4,000 feet, 0. E. White, July 20, 1921 (no. 436). 

 "A small tree, with creamy- white flowers. Long pod." Species

Inga apiculata 



(EuiNGA.) Tomentose. Branchlets stout, ferruginous, rough- 

 ened with small Avhitish lenticels. Stipules not seen. Petioles 1.5 

 to 2 cm. long, stout, subterete. Leaflets 4 or 5 pairs, the lower suc- 

 cessively smaller. Rachis to 1 dm. or more long, the internodes 

 margined, the upper successively wider, the uppermost nearly 

 1 cm. wide at the summit, narrowing downward, the lowest little 

 more than half as wide, a small circular gland between each pair 

 of leaflets, the rim whitish, the concave center dark. Largest 

 terminal leaflets nearly 2 dm. long and half as wide, oval or obo- 

 vate with broadly rounded sessile base and an abrupt narrow, 

 tapering and acute summit, entire, thick, bright-green and 

 lightly tomentellate on both sides, slightly shining, especially 

 beneath, where the slender venation is prominent. Secondaries 

 12 or 14 on each side, ascending at about 45° and lightly curved, 

 connected by numerous crooked tertiaries, the finer venation 

 closely and strongly anastomosing. Panicles terminal, pe- 

 duncled, the peduncles stout, narrowly winged. Branches of the 

 panicle peduncled, the branches subereet, the upper portion 

 densely flowered, the flowers somewhat sericeous. Calyx 1 cm. 

 long, narrowly campanulate, many-nerved, the obtuse lobes 

 brownish, about a third of the length. Corolla a little more than 

 twice the length of the calyx, infundibular, the mouth spreading, 

 the lobes a fifth of the length, obtuse. Stamens light-brown, 

 about twice the length of the corolla, nearly free, united nearly
