1958 Krukoff, New Specioe of Erythrina 289 22, 1908, at Penonome and vicinity, at 50 — 1000 feet eleva-tion, in Tanama, and deposited in the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden. Other collections are H_^ Pittier 6959 s collected at the Agricultural Experiment Station at Matias Hernandez in Panama, and J_j_ M^ Benitez 9159 from El Zapote, Escuintla, Guatemala. This species is common in Central America and is well represented in herbaria. It has been often confused with E. rubrinervia H.B.K. in the past, from which species, however, it can be immediately distinguished by the fact that in the latter species the very apex of the calyx is also rounded, but is surmounted by a sharply acute triangular membranous tooth 1.5 — 2 mm. long (imparting, to the calyx-apex a sharply acute appearance when fresh), the seeds are larger and with-out a distinct dark line extending from the hilum toward the chalaza, and the leaflets are narrower, acuminate or long-acuminate at the apex, cuneate or rarely rounded at the base, and only slightly paler beneath.

One hundred and forty-nine species and varieties are accepted as valid (in-cluding 4 doubtful species) and 246 names have been reduced to synonymy. A complete alphabetic list of the latter will be published in the next installment of these notes, with the disposition which has been made of each for ready refer-ence.
