H a b . 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 witb Inga Houstoni
which has the same copious long bright red stamens, it might form a distinct Genus.

H a b . Realejo.—This seems to be a tall growing plant, with woody branches, glabrous everywhere excejit
the young shoots. Leaves copious, patent, and, as well as the branches (especially the younger ones),
furnished with numerous, scattered, small, curved prickles. The main rachis bears 3 pairsof distantly placed
pinnæ, each pinna bare of leaflets below, having on its upper half, 8 pair of rather closely set leaflets, the
largest of them less than an inch long; these vary somewhat in shape, being ovato, ova), or obovate, upon very
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.

H a b . Realejo.—Apparently a low shrub, with woody branches which are angular, especially the younger
ones, and these clothed with short silky, rather tawny hairs aud beset as well as the petioles and rachis
whicii bears the spikes, with stout, straight, fulvous, scattered prickles, the largest of them almost a quarter of
an inch long. Leaves numerous. Pinnæ and pinnulæ 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 speeies. Calyx and corolla (of 5 small erect petals) silky. We have
seen no fruit of this or the foregoing species.
