A common East Indian species. J. pentaphylla, Burch., Harv. Fl. Cap. il. 178, is 
a different plant, belonging to a group with five or more leaflets digitately arranged, of 
which we have no representatives within our limits, and of course it will have to receive 
a new name. 
44. I. multijuga, Baker. Stem slender, herbaceous, erect, the 
branches weak, erecto-patent, angular, subglabrous. Stipules small, 
linear. Petioles very short. Leaflets 13-17, oblanceolate or narrowly 
oblong, 1-3 in. long, 13-2 lines broad, apex rounded conspicuously 
mucronate, lateral ones on short stalks, the lowest pair shorter and 
broader than the others, upper surface green subglabrous lower glau- 
cous and thinly silvery. Flowers in lax racemes of 4—6 each from the 
axils of the leaves on slender glabrous peduncles 1$—2 in. long. Bracts 
Setaceous, equalling the pedicels. Calyx a line deep, subglabrous, the 
teeth Setaceous, reaching down nearly to the base. Corolla reddish, 
three times as long as the calyx. Pod 1 in. long, 1 line thick, linear, 
mucronate, straight, dark brown, glabrous, subtetragonous, about 10- 
Seeded.
