We ai’e satisfied of this plant being- the Hedysarum purpureum of Roxb., which, however, we do not find 
any where described. The same plant, too, we have received from the Island of St. Vincent in the 
West Indies, probably introduced from the Old World. — The figure in Biu-m. Zeyl. t. 53. f. 2, and again that 
in Birrm. Ind. t. 55. f. 2, {H. siliquosum, Burm.) appear to be the same as this ; but we do not know that 
they are referred to by any author.
