plant, rounded, and clothed with soft patent hairs, as is 
every part of the plant except the corolla and fruit : from 
beneath many of the leaves (but not all) especially from 
those whose axil bears a peduncle, there is an opposite pair 
of acuminated decurrent stipules, but not by any means 
forming a continued wing to the stem. Leaves remote, 
simple, very nearly sessile, unequal in size, almost exactly 
and broadly oval, rather acute, obscurely penni-nerved. 
Peduncles elongated, from three to six-flowered. Pedicels 
curved, bracteated, bracteas subulate. Calyx distinctly 
two-lipped, and with two opposite, subulate bracteole; 
deeply bifid in the upper lip into two ovato-lanceolate seg- 
ments, which are bent back by the reflexed vexdllum ; lower 
one three-partite, the segments linear-subulate, rather longer 
than the upper ones, all very hairy. - Corolla bright yellow. 
Vexillum broadly cordate, retuse, a little longer than the 
calyx, on a short and broad claw. Ale oblong, obtuse, 
concave, connivent at the extremity, shorter than the calyx. 
Carina concealed within the alz, acuminated, a little twist- 
ed at the point, pale yellow. Stamen with the tube cleft 
above. Germen lanceolate. Style long, a little hairy on 
the upper side. Legume (immature) obovato - cylindrical, 
inflated, tipped with the long style. Seeds or ovules very 
numerous. 
Raised in the stove of the Glasgow Botanic Garden from 
Mexican seeds, and flowering in the month of April, 1830. 
It appears so entirely to accord with the C. ovalis of Pursu 
and Norra, that I can scarcely entertain a doubt of its 
being that plant : hence it is also a native of Carolina and 
Georgia.
