266 MR. G. BENTHAM ON THE GENERA SWEETIA AND GLYCINE, 
Of the genus Glycine as I propose to limit it, and of the six 
species of the section Leptolobium, characterized by the flowers 
distinct from each other, not clustered along the rhachis, full cha- 
racters are given in my ‘ Flora Australiensis, ii. 242. Besides 
these, the genus would include five others, characterized as follows.
