LEGVMINOS^-C^SALPINIEM. 105 Eperua^ (figs. 81, 82) has nearly the flowers of Berlinia and Daniella: the same receptacular tube with the foot of the gynaeceuni similarly inserted on its posterior wall, the same decandrous an- droceum, and the same corolla reduced to the posterior petal; but this last is very large, completely covering the androceum in the bud. The gamosepalous calyx is divided above into four unequal imbricate lobes. The staminal filaments are free, or very slightly united at the base. This union is a little more marked in Parivoa grandi
