1. Rhus terehinthifolia. Schlecht. in Linn\ 5. p. 600. 
Torus a five-crenated disk. Stamens 5, inserted under its margin. Petals 5, broad at the base, inserted 
under the disk. Sepals 5. Styles 3. 
2. R. aromatica. Ait. — var. foliis subtus dense fulvo-tomentosis. 
This differs in no respect from the species found in the United States and Canada, except in the leaves 
being much more tomentose and occasionally wrinkled. Rafinesque, De Candolle, and most botanists, place 
this and B. suaveolens in a distinct section, Clibadium, on account of there being supposed to be 2-lobed 
glands placed under the ovary, alternating with the stamens ; but such is not the case : the torus or disk is 
orbicular, with 10 crenatures, two of which are between each pair of stamens, and have been mistaken for 
glands. The petals are slightly hairy on the inside, as in many Sapindacece, and indeed the whole plant 
bears no small resemblance to Schmidelia. There is one simple but very deeply trifid style, not three short 
styles as usually described. 
1. Elaphrium Jacquinianwn ; ratnulis teretibus superne ferrugineo-tomentosis, foliolis 
7-9 grosse crenatis supra rugulosis hirtellis et nitidulis subtus molliter fuscescenti-tomen- 
tosis junioribus ferrugineis terminal! subrhombeo-ovato, lateralibus inaequilateris, rachi 
alata, alis integerrimis. Humb, et Kunth, Nov. Gen.v. 7. p. 23. t. 613. — Fagara octandra. 
L. ? — Elaphrium tomentosum. Jacq. Am. t. 71 ? — |S; glabrius, rachidis ala s^pe crenata. 
The figure above quoted is so faithful a representation of our plant, in every particular except the entire 
wing of the rachis, that we are not disposed to separate it from that species. Our specimens being very 
much advanced will account for the less tomentose foliage,

1. Sophora tonientosa. L. 
1. Crotalaria ovalis ; tota molliter hirsuta diffusa, stipulis acuminatis decurrentibus vel 
obsoletis, foliis simplicibus ovalibus subsessilibus, pedunculis elongatis oppositifoliis 4-6- 
floris, calycibus bibracteolatis vexillo vix brevioribus. [Hook, in Bot. Mag. t. 3006.) 
Pursh^ Am. Sept. v. 2. p. 469. — C. sagittalis, y, ovalifolia. Mich. 
This exactly agrees with the C. ovalis figured in the Botanical Magazine, and which was raised from 
Mexican seeds. 
2 C. sagittalis. L. 
3. C. dichotoma ; fruticosa diffusa, foliis ternatis cuneato-ellipticis pilosiusculis mucro- 
natis, stipulis subulatis reflexis persistentibus, racemis oppositifoliis paucifloris. Grah, in 
Bot. Mag. t. 2714.— /3| foiiolis angustioribus longioribus. — H ab. Talisco.
