NOTES ON THE SPECIES OF ERYTHRINA. IX, B. A. Krukoff ( ' Contents Introduction 1 Discussion of species (#1-108) and of hybrids 1 Bibliography (supplement) 10 Introduction Eight papers covering the morphology, distribution, chromo-somes, palynology, alkaloids, and amino acids of Erythrina were published in the September and December 1974 issues of Lloydia . A supplement to the symposium is planned for publication, also in Lloydia , sometime in 1977. I have written a brief paper for this supplement to the symposium, but this present paper includes information which is best published separately. Four hundred eighty-nine new collections were examined in connection with the preparation of these two papers. For a list of species reduced to synonymy, extensions of ranges, etc., see my paper which is to be published in the supplement to the symposium. 1. Erythrina fusca Loureiro, Fl. Cochinch. 427. 1790.
