Notes
This new species entirely agrees in habit with T. lanuginosa, Miq. in Metz. Pl. Ind. Or. No. 779, which nevertheless is known by its constantly 2-spined carpels, and long style. T. lanuginosus, L. Sp. p. 553, according to Burman's figure, and the specimen collected by Dr. Wight, is only T. terrestris. T. cistoides, L. is much more robust, and has larger leaves, flowers and fruits, besides a style 2 lines long, and a short, terminal stigma, by which character, as already stated by Schlechtendal in Bot. Zeit. 1851, p. 844, it is known from other Tribuli. T. cistoides occurs in S. America, Cape Verd, and in the East Indies.
