1. Tephrosia piscatoria. Pers. — De Cand. Prodr. v. 2. p. 252. — T. toxicaria. Gaud, 
in Freye. Voy. p. 93 ? 
We have ah’eady described this species at page 62. 
1. Doliclios luteus. Swartz f — De Cand. Prodr. v. 2. p. 398? 
1. Vigna villosa. Savi. — De Cand. Prodr. v. 2. p. 401. 
Found in Oahu. — The want of authentic materiak, and the imperfect descriptions hitherto given of Dolichos 
and the allied genera, r^der an accurate determination of the species next to impossible. If we be correct, 
this plant has only been previously met with in Chili. 
1. Canavalia pubescens ; caule volubili, ramulis petiolisque pubescentibus, foliolis ovato- 
ellipticis breviter acuminulatis basi subobliquis membranaceis supra glabris subtus pubes- 
centibus, pedunculis axillaribus trifloris. 
This was found in Oneeheow. — The two upper lobes of the calyx are very large and rounded, the lower 
ones oblong and obtuse. As a species, it is very closely allied to Dolichos galeatus, (Gaud, in Freyc. Voy. 
p. 486. t. 115,) which is also a Canavalia, but that has perfectly smooth acuminated leaves, and the lower 
divisions of its calyx are lanceolate and acute. 
1. Mucuna altissma. De Cand. Prodr. v. 2. p. 405. — Dolichos altissimus. Jacq. Amer. 
t. 182. f. 85. 
The specimen in the Collection, as well as one collected by Mr. Macrae .at Byron’s Bay, in Owhyhee, is 
not in fruit. 
1. Erythrina ; arborea inermis, foliolis late ovato-reniformibus obtusis sub- 
tus calycibusque molliter fuscescenti-tomentosis, fructibus monospermis. Gaud, in Freyc. 
Voy. p. 486. t. 114. 
We have seen only the leaves, but we think there can be no doubt as to the plant. 
1. Acacia hetei'ophylla', phyllodiis linearibus utrinque attenuatis subfalcatis midtinerviis, 
saepe etiam in ramis adultis folio bipinnato terminatis, capitulis subracemosis. DC . — Willd. 
Sp. PI. V. 4. p. 1055. De Cand. Prodr. v. 2. p. 452. — A. laurifolia. Willd. Sp. PI. v. 4. 
p. 1053. De Cand. Prodr. v. 2. p. 451. — Mimosa simplicifolia. Linn. Suppl. — M. Mangium. 
“ Forst. Prodr. n. 395.” 
Gaudichaud remarks of this species, that in the more elevated parts of the island, its phyllodia always bear 
bipinnate leaves, but that in the lower districts these disappear; also, that the higher up they grow, the 
narrower are the phyllodia, while below they are broader, being hnear-lanceolate, lanceolate, and sometimes 
oval. In the specimens found by Mr. Menzies, the phyllodia are considerably broader than in those in 
the present Collection, so that we have not hesitated to unite again, as had been formerly done by Lamarck, 
the A. laurifolia with the present species. The peduncles sometimes bear only one head of flowers ; but 
more commonly, and on the same plant, they form a raceme. 
1. Guilandina Bonduc. Linn. — De Cand. Prodr. v. 2. p. 480. 
1. Cassia (Sect. Chamcesenna. DC.) Gaudichaudi ; caule fruticoso, foliolis 4-jugis ellip-
