6. Indigofera simplicifolia, Lam. DC. Prod: 2. p. 222.—On the 
- Quorra, at Attah, Vogel; Sierra Leone, Smeathmann. 
These are luxuriant specimens, above three feet high, though ap- 
parently an annual, the stems are nearly simple, as described by 
Lamarck, and certainly not very much branched, as appears to 
have been the case with the specimen seen by De Candolle. 
The larger leaves are five inches long and half au inch broad, 
but the upper ones are scarcely above an inch and a half long 
as stated by Lamarck. Vogel’s specimens are not in fruit, but 
the ovary is long and slender, with numerous ovules.
