(n. 402.)

Hab. Tepic. — We have the same species from the neighbourhood of Mexico, gathered by our late consul 
there, Mr Mackenzie. It is a splendid plant, and De Candolle suggests that, together with Inga Houstoni 
which .has the same copious long bright red stamens, it might form a distinct Genus. 
2. 1. ? patens ; caule petiolisque aculeis brevibus uncinatis sparsis, foliis bipinnatis, pinnis 
sex trijugis, foliolis ovatis ovalibusve oppositis brevissime petiolatis glabris terminalibus 
plerumque majoribus, spiels elongatis densifloris pedunculatis axillaribus terminalibusque 
subpaniculatis, staminibus sub 20 corollam 4-petalani vix duplo superantibiis. 
Hab. Realejo. — This seems to be a tall growing plant, with woody branches, glabrous everywhere except 
the young shoots. Leaves copious, pa tent, and, as well as the branches (especially the younger ones), 
furnished with numerous, scattered, small, curved prickles. The main rachis bears 3 pairs of distantly placed 
pinnae, each pinna bare of leaflets below, having on its upper half, 3 pair of rather closely set leaflets, the 
largest of them less than an inch long; these vary somewhat in shape, being ovate, oval, or obovate, upon ver}'^ 
short petiolules, of a texture between membranaceous and coriaceous, paler-coloured beneath. In the axils of 
the upper leaves and upon the extremity of the branches where the leaves gradually disappear (thus forming 
a sort of panicle) the spikes are situated, 3-4 inches long, shortly pedunculated, and growing singly or 2 or 3 
together. The flowers and stamens seem to be yellow. 
3. I.? Guaiemalensis ;Tpi\[oso~sevicea, caule petiolisque aculeis validis rectis fulvis, foliis 
bipinnatis, pinnis 6-8 tri-sexjugis, foliolis oblongo-ellipticis subsessilibus mucronatis, rachi 
spinula terminata, spici§ densifloris terminalibus subpaniculatis, staminibus sub-20 flori- 
bus 4-plo longioribus. 
Hab. Realejo. — Apparently a low shrub, with woody branches which are angular, especially the younger 
ones, and these clothed with short silky, rather tawny hairs and beset as well as the petioles and rachis 
which bears the spikes, with stout, straight, fulvous, scattered prickles, the largest of them almost a quarter of 
an inch long. Leaves numerous. Pinnae and pinnulae rather distantly set, the latter one-half to three-fourths of 
an inch long, more or less silky especially beneath, as are the younger ones. Spikes 2-4 inches long, with 
longer stamens than the preceding species. Calyx and corolla (of 5 small erect petals) silky. We have 
seen no fruit of this or the foregoing species.
