Plants of almost universal range through the intratropical I'egions of 
the eastern hemisphere, such as species of Crotalaria, Indigofera, JEschy- 
nomene, Zoriiia, Desmodium, LTraria, Flemingia, Lespedeza, Sesbania, 
Canavallia, Phaseolus, Rhynchosia, Sophora, are not specially mentioned 
in Miquel’s work from New Guinea, as their wide distribution would not 
call for annotations of localities.
