entire at the margins. Peduncle terminal, or from the axil 
of a superior leaf, bearing at its extremity a raceme of few, 
but showy handsome drooping ‘flowers. Pedicels short, 
curved. Calyx purple-green, very abrupt at the base, the 
mouth oblique, the uppermost teeth being considerably the 
shortest. Vexillum purple, with two prominent obtuse 
teeth near the middle, one on each side, which embrace 
the inner petals. Ale almost blue, firmly cohering by their 
lower margins to the purple carina. Stamens as in 
tuberosus. Style linear, pubescent on its upper and plane 
surface. 
The drawing of this species of Orozus was made from a 
fiat which flowered in the Glasgow Botanic Garden in 
ay, 1829: but whence the plant came, or how it esta- 
blished itself in the collection, we are ignorant. From the 
circumstance of its appearing among several American 
lants, Mr. Murray is of opinion it may have been 
introduced by accident from North America. Certain it 
is, that I can find no description that will accord with it, 
nor do I know of any with such very long leaflets. Those, 
too, among the described species of Orozsus, which have 
long and narrow leaflets, have usually narrow and almost 
subulate stipules also. ; 
In my Herbarium is an Orosvus from M. ScuiercHer, 
under the name of O. setiformis, which I can only distin- 
“ae from the present plant by its smaller size and shorter 
eaflets: a native I presume of Switzerland. But again in 
Srevpex’s Nomenclator the O. setiformis of “ ScuiEIcHER” 
is referred to the O. canescens, a very different species.
