fcliort side-ones: the whole concealed by two partial 

 bractes that press closely on each of the sides, and are 

 more than twice its length, herbaceous, subcartilaginous, 

 smooth, ovatcly oblong, obtuse, with a villous edge and 

 email villous point. Standard nearly round, emarginately 

 recurved, an inch and an half across or more, streaked, re-

 cuneate, concave, as long as the bractes, curved at the 

 base; lamina or blade spurred below the middle of the plait 

 at the back by a short shai*ply conic deflectent spur, a 

 broad whitely radiated purple spot spreading over the disk 

 within, white at the circumference: wings cuneately oblong, 

 bending towards the standard but rather shorter than that, 

 embracing the keel lengthways, white, meeting altogether 

 at the ends, where they are purple and obliquely rounded: 

 heel bowed towards the standard, at the under side round- 

 ly falcate compressed, the curve protruding much below 

 the lower edges of the wings, of two petals cohering under- 

 neath, open above, the length of the wings, white, purple 

 at the top and obtuse. Stamens diadelphous, reflexly as- 

 cendent ; j^/ame??/*; one compressedly tubular 9-cleft for 

 about one fourth of its length, reddish, the other simple

 brownish, with deep yellow pollen. Gei-men linear, squarish 

 witli rounded corners, and a deeply engraven line along 

 each side, twice longer than the calyx or more: style about 

 the length of the gennen or longer, round, ending in a 

 narrowly cuneate transversely flattened stigma with a 

 downy edged truncated top, rather concave at the under 

 side. Pod about half a foot long, smooth, brown, linearly 

 elongated, compressedly squared, not much broader at the 

 sides that at the upper and under parts, with corners fining 

 off" to an even shaUowly projecting undulated coriaceo-car- 

 tilaginous edge, the sides flat and even, end acuminated 

 and pointed by a part of the persistent style, many-celled 

 and entirely smooth on the inside, divided into one- 

 seeded compartments by partitions of a membrano-cellular 

 substance. Seeds 13, according to Plmnier and Mr. Her-
