5a. Arabis Georgiana Harper. Biennial. Stem 3-5 dm. tall, with few erect 
branches mostly from the base, minutely hirsute below, glabrous or nearly so above: basal 
leaves 6-8 cm. long, in a flat rosette; blades oblanceolate or spatulate, coarsely toothed : 
cauline leaves spreading or ascending ; blades 3-6.5 em. long, oblong-lanceolate to lanceo- 
late or linear-lanceolate near the inflorescence, sessile and half-clasping, bright green, the 
lower surface and the margins sparsely pubescent with both simple and forked hairs: 
racemes becoming 3 or 4 dm. long: pedicels ascending, glabrous, becoming 1 cm. long: 
sepals ovate, 4 mm. long, acute, narrowly scarious-margined : petals 9-10 mm. long, white, 
obtuse : style 1 mm. long: pods linear-filiform, flattened, 6-7 mm. long, about 1 mm. 
wide, erect or nearly so, the valves 1-nerved : seeds narrowly winged, in 1 row. 
On shaded banks. along the Chattahoochee River, Georgia. Spring.—Differs from A. patens in the 
longer s and the glabrous upper surface of the leaves and the upper part of the stem, and from A. 
hirsuta in its larger corolla, evident style and longer pods.

4. Medicago sativa L. Stem decumbent or ascending, 3-5 dm. long, more or less 
branched, usually sparingly pubescent : leaflets 3, the blades cuneate-obovate to cuneate or 
oblanceolate, mainly 1-1.5 em. long, sharply toothed near the apex, rather prominently 
but finely veined : racemes several-flowered, peduncled : calyx 4-5 mm. long ; lobes 
nearly subulate, about as long as the tube, sparingly ciliolate: corolla violet or blue, 7- 
8.5 mm. long ; standard oblong-obovate ; wing-petals each with a hooked spur at the base 
of ar s : pods 2 or 3 times spirally twisted, finely pubescent, the valves delicately re- 
ticulated.

26a. ARAGALLUS Neck. 
Herbs or shrubby plants, similar to species of Astragalus in habit; but keel petals acu- 
minate, abruptly pointed or appendaged at the apex. 
1. Aragallus Lambértii (Pursh) Greene. Stems very short, severai from a branched 
caudex, clothed with the persistent leaf-bases : leaves erect or ascending, 0.5-1.5 dm. tall ; 
leaflets several, the blades linear or nearly so, 1.5-2.5 cm. long, acute or slightly acum1- 
nate, silky on both sides: scapes 1.5-3 dm. tall, silky strigose : bracts narrowly linear-lan- 
ceolate: calyx densely pubescent, 10-11 mm. long; lobes nearly subulate, the lower one 
markedly longer than the others: corolla violet, purple or white, 16-19 mm. long ; stand- 
ard rounded at the apex, cuneately narrowed at the base ; blades of the keel and wing-petals 
longer than the claws, about thrice as long as broad : pods narrowly conic, 18-20 mm. long, 
subulate-tipped.

9. TRIPHASIA Lour. 
Shrubs, with smooth green branches, more or less thorny. Leaves alternate, persis-
