| Notes: | Label source: The fresh seeds often contain the larvae of a moth, Carpocapsa saltitans which causes the jumping movement. See 'Kew Garden Miscellany' vol. 6 p. 304. Carpocapsa Insect Life iii p.431. Contrib. U.S. Nat. Mus. Vol. 1. p.112. (June 1891) note, 28 lines. A further note on the plant on which the jumping bean occurs. In this note Prof Riley referred to a letter just received from Prof ? Watson of Cambridge accompanying the specimen of seeds pods Sebastiani bulrealaris and the moth bred there from, .
