the lowest with a long stalk, the borders hardly at all wavy, the faces

Upper Guinea. Guinea proper, G. Don! Vogel! 
Lower Guinea. Pungo Andongo, Dr. Welwitsch ! 
Mozamb. Distr. Zambesi land, Elephant marsh, banks of the Shire, Dr. Kirk! 
Scarcely more than a variety of the preceding, but larger, with a hairy calyx and 
corolla, and a somewhat different legume. 
8. AG. acutangula, Welw. mss. A glaucous glabrous undershrub 
2-3 ft. high with strong triquetrous striated branches. Stipules lan- 
ceolate, rigidly coriaceous, persistent, 6-10 lines long, with a lanceo- 
late spur 14-2 lines deep. Petioles 3-6 lines, glabrous; rachis 2-3 
in.; leaflets 12-15-jugate, linear-oblong, 6—9 lines long, 1}—2 lines 
broad three-quarters of the way up, rigidly coriaceous, prominently 
veined, turning black when dried. Flowers in copious terminal panicles 
that reach a foot long, with lax erecto-patent viscous branchlets. Pe- 
dicels erecto-patent, very slender, 2—8 lines. Calyx 2-24 lines deep, 
split down to the base. Corolla yellow, twice the calyx. Pod with 
1, or rarely 2 hemispherical articulations rounded on the lower side, 
2 lines broad, smooth on the face. Pedicel as long as the calyx. 
Lower Guinea. Highlands of Pungo Andongo, Dr. Welwitsch ! 
A very distinct species, connecting the two subgenera, as it combines the spurred 
stipules of Huceschynomene with the leaves and pod of Ochopodium. 
9. FE. pygmezea, Wel. mss. A minute undershrub not more than 
3-6 in. high, with densely cxespitose erect stems copiously clothed with 
short grey bristles. Stipules linear, 14-2 lines, rigidly coriaceous. 
Leaves subsessile; rachis 8-6 lines long, densely bristly; leaflets 
10—15-jugate, linear, acute, mucronate, 1-1} lines long, rigidly coria- 
ceous, strongly veined, the midrib nearly central. Flowers 12-20 in 
copious terminal racemes 1-2 in. long. Pedicels 1-2 lines, erecto- 
patent, densely bristly. Bracts lanceolate, caducous, } in. Calyx 
24~3 lines, glabrous, with a pair of small lanceolate bracteoles at the 
base ; lips blunt. Corolla bright orange-yellow, persistent, twice the 
calyx. Articulations 1-2, hemispherical, 4 in. long, 24 lines broad, 
quite smooth on the faces. Pedicel much shorter than the calyx. 
Lower Guinea. Highlands of Huilla, 4500 ft., in sandy thickets, Dr Welwitsch ! 
10. 4. glabrescens, Welw. mss. An undershrub 12-18 in. with 
copiously branched czspitose ascending angular stems, elabrescent 
when mature, thinly glandulose-setose when young. Sti ules 
lines, lanceolate, rigidly coriaceous. Petioles 1-2 lines ;: ne 14-24 
in., both quite glabrous ; leaflets 6—9-jugate, oblong-lanceolate, acute, 
6-9 lines long, rigidly coriaceous, strongly veined on both sides. 
Flowers 10-18 in lax short-stalked terminal racemes reaching 4 in. 
long. Pedicels 2-4 lines, erecto-patent, usually glabrous. Calyx 
2 lines, glabrous; lips oblong, blunt. Corolla oran e, more than 
twice the calyx. Articulations always solitary, 8-9 ines long,
