rather phyllodia alternate, three inches or more in length, 
linear, acute, with a callous point, falcate with three ele- 
vated, longitudinal lines on each side, and an oblong gland 
on the upper edge near the base. Peduncles rather more 
than half an inch long, downy, solitary, or two or three 
together, from the axils of the leaves, each bearing a glo- 
bose head of rather deep yellow flowers, about the size of a 
pea, but inodorous. ‘The number of such heads is very 
considerable on the branches, Siving them a lively appear- 
ance. Each minute blossom has a calyx, of five or more 
deep segments, and a corolla of five or more lobes. Sta- 
mens numerous, shorter than the slender style.
