This fhrub, ‘ough named ‘apbyl or + leafle He is by no means 
without leaves ; ; but, when young, has both trifoliate and fimple 
leaves, which fall off, and are. feldom again renewed; what 
appear like fmall leaves upon the flowering branches, as repre- 
fented in our figure, are not confidered as fuch, but as //pules, 
or more properly, perhaps, as draétes. The flems of PsoraLEa 
aphylla are flender, and the extremities of the branches bend 
down with the weight of the flowers, ina graceful manner.

was taken from a fine fpecimen in the confery atory of Meffrs.
