DC. {DolicJios lineatus Thunb.) from the sea-coast of Japan as <3©-^ 
scribed by De Candolle {DO., Proclr., ii., 404) and Thunberg {Flor. 
Ja'pon., 280) and as figured by linuma Yokusai (Somoko-Duaets, 
ed. ii., vol. xiii., t. 20); the species might therefore behest known 
as Canctvalia lineata. The name “ obtusifolia ’’ is more appropriate 
to 0. lineata as here understood than to the true 0. obtusifoMa of 
Rheede’s figure. In this respect, however, both species are variable, 
for the leaves of the Japanese plant {Doliehe» lineatus Thbg.) are 
quite like those of the Penang one (Oanavalia turg.ida Grah.) and 
of that figured by Rheede, though its pods are quite like those of 
the emarginate-leaved Chinese plant {Dolichos ohcordatus Roxb.) 
and of the rounded or emarginate-leaved Madras plant {Canavalia 
obtusifolia Baker, not DO.).^

that it is known to the inhabitants. ^
