bot. loc. cit. (ex angl. versum), 
* The habit of Gomprororium is marked by the com- 
pound (ternate or pinnate) leaves, and a certain aspect of 
rigidity and smoothness. ‘The stipulas are not intrafoliace- 
ous as in PuLrenza, but stand on each side of the base of 
the common footstalk, being a pair of acute flat close- 
pressed leaves, extremely minute and often altogether want- 
ing. The flowers are yellow (or purple) generally nume- 
rous, large and handsome. All the species as far as 
hitherto known, are natives of New Holland." Smith in 
Rees’s cyclop. article GomPHOLOBIUM.
