The Branches of this Plant were about a Foot long, roundifh, filled with 
afungous Pith, fer very thick on the outfides, with very large and fierce 
Hairs, or {mall prickles, of a white colour, as were alfo the Twigs, whofe 
ends were fet with alated Leaves, whofe Pisue were very fmall, fharp, or 
pointed at the end, graffie or ftriated like grafs Leaves, and numerous. 
The Flowers came out of a hairy, or echinated {mall Leaf, tanquam ex utri- 
culo, being many ftanding on the ends of branched Foot-Stalks alterna- 
tively, and after them follows articulated Pods, like to thofe of the prece- 
dent. 
I found itin the inland parts of the Ifland, but where particualrly I do not 
remember.

This rifes to about a Foot high, being erect, branched, and having Twigs 
fet thick with Leaves alternatively, on a three quarters of an Inch long Foot- 
Stalk, there being conftantly, as far as I could obferve, four on the fame 
Foot-Stalk. Each of them are {mall, and have a {mall {nip or defe@& on 
their further ends, where they are largeft, being of a yellowith green colour, 
and {mooth, having one middle Rib, eminent on the backfide. Ex aljs 
foliorum towards the top comes a yellow papylionaceous Flower, asin others 
of this Kind. 
It grew in the Savanna near Two Mile Wood, and feveral other claiy parts 
of the Savaznas.

This hes a great many wooddy Branches from the fame Root, rifing to 
about two Foot high. ‘The Stalks are round, fhrubby, gray, and branch’d 
out into many Twigs, which are green and hoary, having without any order 
{everal Foor-Stalks half an Inch long, fuftaining three Leaves, each {maller 
and longer than thofe of the trifolium hamorrhoidale, and being purple on the 
edges, and having purple {pots on their backs, and a down of the {ame 
colour. The Flowers are on the tops of the Twigs, feveral opening fuc- 
ceflively one after another, being yellow. After thefe follows a fhining brown, 
fingle Seed, with a point on one fide, and defect on the other, inclofed in a 
‘Husk or Pod; which is very fhort, thin fhap’d like a Scymiter, having 
feveral appearing Lines or Nerves on it, in each of which lies only one 
fingle Seed. 
The whole Plant is clammy, and {mells like the ordinary Ciftus’s. 
It grows in claiy or gravelly parts of the Town Savanna, and elfewhere
