plain and simple or impressed, the valves tumid, finely and 
closely striated transversely. — DC. ii. 491 ; Vogel Syn. 19. — 
Shr. per. Mad. cult. reg. 1, cc. In almost every garden about 
Funclial &c., and often seminaturalized in their neighbour- 
hood in waste ground amongst •vineyards, &c. Throughout the 
year. — A somewhat less bushy lower shr. than C.Jloribunda, 4 or 
5 ft. high, with a more distinct st. and very smooth and shining, 
finely striated, less crowded, thicker or stouter stiffer branches. 
Wood very hard and firm. Foliage a light shining y.-gr. Stip. 
none or obsolete. Lfts. larger than in C. Jioribunda, l|-2 in. 
long, 1 in. wide, in mostly 4 pairs. FI. bright golden-y. rather 
smaller and less numerous in the axillary rac. than in C.Jlori- 
bunda, forming stiller more erect and smaller terminal corymbs. 
Pod about 3 in. long and \ in. thick, 4 or 5 times the length of 
its pedic., very smooth and shining, depressed or flattened in 
a direction contrary to the usual mode, the sutural diam. being 
mostly less and never more than half the transverse, owing to 
the flatness or deep impression of the suture and to the tumidity 
of the dorsal portion of the valves, which are regularly and di- 
stinctly striated across. Seeds and dehiscence as in C.Jlori- 
bunda. 
3. C. FLORIBUNDA CaV. 
Lfts. in 4-5 pairs oval or elliptic-oblong acute, on both sides 
and especially at the edges, like the petioles and young shoots, 
minutely pubescent, with an ovate gland between all except 
sometimes the uppermost and lowest pair ; rac. axillary 3-12-fld. 
forming terminal leaf} r corymbs ; pod 3 times as long as its pedic. 
subcompressed subquadrangular, the suture raised and margined.

DC. 495? — Shr. per. Mad. cult. reg. 1,4- Gardens and vine- 
yards about Funchal chiefly at and in the neighbourhood of the 
Quinta do Valle. Throughout the year. — A somewhat bushy 
shr. 5 or (3 ft. high, at once distinguishable by its rank bitumin- 
ous smell when bruised or handled. Lfts. in mostly 4 pairs, 
not all ovate but oblong and of equal diam. across at each end, 
acute but not at all acuminate, inequilateral unequal at the base, 
varying in their degree of pubescence but always more or less 
shortly pubescent especially at the edges. FI. larger, in larger 
bunches, and of a much fuller and deeper y. than in C. Icevigata 
Willd. 1 ’ods about 3 in. long, somewhat 4-sided or quadrangu- 
lar, with the 2 sutural faces as broad as the 2 dorsal, not chan- 
neled but a little raised and even, and separated from the latter 
by a slight ridge or border ; the 2 dorsal faces slightly ridged or 
striated transversely by the numerous flattened dark-yellowish 
or tawny-olive seeds; not bursting lengthways, but when very 
old allowing the seeds to escape by transverse fissures of the 
thin dry membranous skin when brown and ripe. The seeds, as
