A very fine and distinct species, exceedingly tomentose, with large, apparently white flowers, and leaflets 
nearly an inch long. The young foliage and branches are almost silky and tawny. 
1. Stylosanthes viscosa. Sw. — -Probably also S. glutinosa, H. B. K. Nov. Gen. t. 596, 
but the plant is larger and stouter in every part, and the leaflets are narrower. — H ab.

This species, of which we have two varieties in the collection, is well described by Professor Schlechtendal 
in the place above quoted.

1. Rhynchosia grandijiora ; fruticosa subvolubilis rufescenti-hirta, foliis ternatis bre- 
vissime petiolatis oblongis mucronatis, venis utrinsecus 10-15, racemis terminalibus axil- 
laribusque, calycibus vexilloque sericeo-hirsutis, leguminibus ovalibus compressis oblique 
rostratis villosissimis. (Tab. LIX.) — Schlecht. in Linn. 5. p. 588. — -Hab. Talisco. 
Schlechtendal has well observed that this is closely allied to Rhynchosia {Glycine, H. B. K ) rufa, Humh. 
Nov. Gen. t. 574 ; dilFering, however, in its larger flowers, longer leaves, and the more numerous primary 
veins.

laribus folio longioribus raceraosis, vexillo pubescente, leguminibus oblongis pendulis 
pubescenti-hirsutis dispermis. 
Very small and imperfect are the specimens of this plant in the Herbarium. Every part, save the inner 
petals, is downy. The legumes are scarcely ^ an inch, the leaflets 2 inches long.
