Plukenetii, DC. l. c. p. 7?
S. Carolina, Catesby! (v. sp. in herb. Lamb.) Georgia, Le Conte !—The leaflets are smaller than in the preceding [C. virginiana], acute or acuminate, and often narrow ; the pedicels tomentose-pubescent, &c. It is perhaps too near C. dioica, Linn.-The very poor specimen (in herb. Banks. !) on which C. Plukenetii was founded, seems to belong to this species.
