Descr. Shrub erect, rigid, every where glabrous, ex- 
cepting occasionally on the edges of the leaflets, on the 
young shoots, peduncles, and outside of the calyx, where 
there are a few long, spreading hairs. Flowering branches 
cernuous. Leaves very numerous, small, pinnate, bijugate, 
those towards the flowers ternate, or at the base of the 
peduncle simple; leaflets ovato-acute, turned forwards at 
their apices, reflected at their sides, slightly undulate, 
veined, shining above, glaucous below, the upper pair 
slightly decurrent, and often united at their base to the 
terminal leaflet. Stipules dry and membranous, brown, 2- 
ribbed, united in front of the petiole, and about as long as 
it, bifid at the apex. Peduneles (about half an inch long) 
reflected upwards, collected in small numbers, or solitary 
near the extremity of the branches. Petals subrotund, 
entire, white, longer than the calyx. Styles short and ab- 
rupt. Receptacle hairy. Graham. 
I take the earliest opportunity afforded by a vacant space in the 
present number of the Magazine, to offer my very sincere apology to 
J. R. Gowen, Esq., for having spoken of him, at p. 3667, as the 
“ gardener,” at High Clere; whereas the gardener is Mr. Linpsay. 
Mr. Gowen is a gentleman of independent fortune, much devoted to 
Science, and well known in the most respectable circles in London; 
and under whose advice and direction many of the improvements at- 
High Clere had been effected by the late Earl of CazERNARVON :—a 
circumstance which led to my unfortunate mistake. W. J. H.
