 Herb. Kew. 



An imperfect specimen of a Vicia (or Lathyrus) in the Kew 

 Herbarium from near Peking, collected by Bushell, looks at first 

 sight like a reduced state of this species ; but it is more probably 

 an undescribed one. It has unijugate leaflets, and fewer, larger 

 flowers, with a very short-toothed calyx.
