Hab. Loo Choo. — This accords well with the short specific character given in the above work. Hedy- 

 sarum sericeum, Thunb. Fl. Jap. p. 287, may be this species, but Thunberg describes its leaves as silky on 

 both sides, whereas in our plant they are quite glabrous on the upper surface. Hed. junceum, of Roxburgh, 

 appears also to approach closely, but if that proves, as we presume, from Hamilton's synonym being the origin 

 of both, the same with L. eriocarpa of De Candolle, it must diifer from the Loo Choo species. The legume 

 is minutely pubescent. The plant is shrubby.
