Nore upon Amphodus ovatus, fol. 1101. 
Since the above article was published, we have been supplied by Mr. 
Anderson with a ripe pod, which will enable us to complete and, in some 
measure, correct our account of the genus Amphodus. 
Legumen lineari-oblongum, compressum, apterum, immarginatum, poly- 
spermum, extis tomentosum, ints isthmis membranaceis, ¢ contextu laxo 
cellulari, epidermoidali simillimo, constructis, é sutura placente opposita 
ortum ducentibus. Semina oblonga, compressa (in icone erronea), viridi- 
fusca, immaculata, pedicellata. Hzlum parvum, lineare, arillo albo, crasso 
circumdatum. ‘esta coriacea, integumento interiore, s. endopleura, crasso, 
carnoso, albo. Embryo cotyledonibus carnosis, oblongis, radiculé. obtusa, 
inflexa, 
Pod linear-oblong, compressed, neither winged nor margined, many- 
in. the inside separated into many spurious 
seeded, on the outside tomentose, ( 
cells, by means of processes formed of very thin, lax, cellular tissue, like that 
of the epidermis, which take their rise from points of the suture opposite to 
that which bears the seeds. Seeds oblong, compressed, greenish-brown, not 
spotted, on short stalks. Hélumsmall, linear, surrounded by a white, fleshy 
arillus. Testa coriaceous, its inner integument, or endopleura, being thick, 
white, and fleshy. Zimbryo with oblong, fleshy cotyledons, and an obtuse, 
inflexed radicle, 
From this it will appear that the distinctions between Amphodus and 
Dioclea are much greater than we eyen supposed them to be; its affinity being 
in fact greater to Dolichos, notwithstanding the differences of its calyx, 
corolla, and style. inal
