1. R. Caribma.—Our plant is not the.R. Caribsea, DC. (Glycine Caribfea,
Jacq.) which is a rather large-flowered species. It is R. minima of the same
author, which name should be substituted, and the synonymy corrected
accordingly.
1 (a). R. Texana: minutely velvety-pubescent; stems diffuse, much
branched from the base; stipules setaceous, minute; leaflets (small)
rhombic-ovate or ovate-lanceolate, obtuse, mucronulate, rounded or slightly
cordate at the base, pubescent and dotted with minute resinous glands
beneath, the upper surface. reticulated and nearly glabrous ; peduncles
axillary, mostly 1-flowered, much shorter than the petioles ; teeth of the
calyx attenuate-subulate, rather shorter than the corolla; legumes pubescent,
oblong, narrowed at the base, nearly straight.
Texas, Drummond !—Stems decumbent, scarcely twining. Leaflets about
half an inch in;length. Flowers small. The lower, tooth of the calyx
is nearly as. long as the corolla.

5. G. caneseens.^-The peduncles towards the "summit of the stem bear
linear several-seeded (canescent) legumes; but those of the prostrate or radi-
cant peduncles are roundish and only 1-seeded, and the flowers apparently
apetalous. The specimens from which the' plant was first described were
imperfect.

oblong, about 6-seeded.—Add synl Glycine stricta, Hook. &f A rn .! in

Drummond!)—This, with the preceding species, and also G. angustifolia,
Kunth, and perhaps G. brachystachys, Benth., have a peculiar habit, and
are nearly erect plants ; they probably form a distinct section of the
genus.
