Fig. 16.--Lonchocarpus unifoliolatus. a, Standard; 6, wings; c, carinal petals; d, calyx and stamens; e, pistil. Natural size. From Galeotti 3457. Type collected in southern Mexico by Jurgensen (no. 717). The above description is based on a specimen in the IT. S. National Herbarium, collected at Chinantla, State of Puebla, Mexico, in flower, July, 1849, by H. Galeotti (no. 3457). This very curious species is readily distinguished by its unifoliolate leaves. The so-called petiolule is composed of a rudimentary rachis on which the real petiolule, about 6 mm. long, is articulated as in those species with the normal type of leaves. 19.

Leaflets coriaceous, the petiolules canaliculate, slender, 7 to 8 mm. long, the blades ovate, rounded and subattenuate at the base, obtuse or obtusely subacuminate at the apex, 4 to 9.5 cm. long, 2.5 to 4.5 cm. broad, light green on both faces, the costa and veins impressed above, the former strongly, the latter scarcely prominent beneath.
