Glycine caribaea Jacq. [family LEGUMINOSAE-PAPILIONOIDEAE]
Notes
Bracteae sub calyce nullae. [Venillum] absque appendicibus. [Arina] apice ad angulum subractum flexa. [Germon] basi vaginatum. Herb J. Gay. Presented by Dr. Hooker, February 1868. These specimens were almost certainly derived from the same source as the cultivated plant figured by Jacquin, and are undoubtedly authentic - though not type specimens of R. caribaea (Jacq.) DC. The plant is a native of the Cape of Good Hope area, not "ex insulis caribaeis" as stated by Jacquin, and reflected by other authors. More information given
