be kept in the greenhouse, and.will grow to a consider- 
able height, producing a stem an inch in diameter. We 
have seen the long branches bending with a profusion of 
flowerbearing branchlets (from which it derives its specific 
title) scattered on all sides of them for the length of more 
than two feet. 
_. The whole plant is pubescent, and has a soft silvery ap- 
pearance when in full bloom. Branches round, long, flexile, 
leafy, racemosely branchletted, branchlets numerous, axil- 
lary, umbelliferous, solitary, short. Leaves numerous, 
scattered, petioled, ternate; leaflets lanceolately oval, mu- 
cronate, silky, thinly so and green above, beneath thickly 
sô and' white, twice the length or more of the petiole; 
Umbels 4-8-flowered issuing from a bud at the end of the 
branchlets; pedicles verticillate, one-flowered, about three 
fourths of an inch long, filiform, flexile, hairy, with a linear 
bracteole pressed against the lower lip of the calyx. As 
the flowers fade the branchlet begins to extend itself 
rapidly from the centre of the umbel, so that.by the time 
the fruit is ripe, that has the appearance of. belonging to a 
blossom which had been produced at the bottom instead of 
the summit of the branchlet. Flowers inclining forwards, 
about the length of their pedicles, scentless. Calyx woolly, 
cylindrical, dps equal, upper one notched, lower entire na- 
vicular. Corolla largish, white, tending to cream-colour, 
downy on the outside; vexillum or standard ovately round, 
notched, reflectent, with sides that meet together behind 
its back; ale or wings as long as the vexillum, but twice as 
narrow, converging over the carina, wrinkled at the edge; 
carina or boat but little shorter, compressed, obtuse, with 
the two petals cemented together upwards. Stamens mona-, 
delphous, grown together into a membranous tube ; not dia- 
delphous and consisting of two sets, the one nine-stamened, 
the other single, as is more usual in the genus. Anthers 
of an orange-yellow. Germen linear, compressed with à 
long silky pubescence; style filiform; stigma a scarcely 
enlarged point. -
