' M. Ventenar €onfiders this: ant asa diftin& genus, dif- 
fering from Piaryiozsium of Smira, more efpecially in its 
pod ‘wanting the wings at the back future, in the prefence of 
glands at the bafe of the vexillum, and in the fornt of the | 
calyx. The two latter charaéters are, however, not very 
firiking, the glands or callofities at the bafe of the limb of the 
vexillum are no more than is frequently found in other papi- 
lionaceous flowers, and the calyx does not differ from that of — 
PLaryrosium formofum, any more than one fpecies may be 
expefted to differ from another. The carina, as is ufual, con- 
fifts of two petals, which are adglutinated at the point only, 
The remarkable length of this part, compared with the fhort 
alx, gives a fingular afpeét to the corolla, and being of a 
black-purple colour, whilft the reft of the petals is yellow,
