CALXXx, Hassk. in Flora, 1842, Beibl i. 48. Sectio Nicolsonias et Sagotias arcte cum Pseudarthria 
conneetens, leguminis valvulas tamen ad suturam superiorem semper cohzrentes vidimus, nee ut in 
Pseudarthria omnino liberas; hine inde artieulatim dividuntur.

florem inyertentes.

plano-compressum, suturis rectis v. vix inter semina sinuatis, 2-valve, intus continuum, 
valvis tenuibus transverse venulosis inarticulatis. — Semina compressa, subreniformia, 
estrophiolata.—Héerbs suffruticesve tomentoso-villosi v. viscido-pubescentes. Folia pin- 
natim 3-foliolata, foliolis majusculis stipellatis. Stipule liberce, membranaces v. striatze. 
Flores parvi, purpurei, seeus rhachin racemi terminalis v. ramorum panicule gemini v. 
fasciculati. Braetec anguste.  Legumen ssepe more Desmodii prehensili-pubescens.

Harv. et Sond. Fl. Cap. ii. 299. Wight, Ic. t. 286. Klotzsch in Peters Mossamb. Bot. t. 7 (Anar- 
throsyne). Genus vix ac ne vix quidem a Desmodio distinetum, leguminis artieulis nee sponte seceden- 
tibus nec intus isthmis transversis separatis. A PAaseoleis recedit habitu et leguminis valvulis 
tenuibus transverse reticulatis. 
173. Pycnospora, E. Br. in W. et Arn. Prod. 197.—Oalycis lobi 2 superiores alte con-

lineato-venosis subreticulatis inarticulatis. Semina parva, subreniformia, ad hilum tenui- 
ter strophiolata, —Suffrutex diffusus v. erectus. Folia pinnatim 3-foliolata, foliolis inte- 
gerrimis stipellatis, Stipulze liberze, membranaceze, striatz. Flores parvi, purpurascentes,

nacez, caducse; braeteolse 0. 
Species 1, in Asia et Australia inter tropieos erescens. Benth. FI. Austral. ii. 2386. Genus ano- 
malum. Habitus et flores omnino JDesmodii.  Legumen (fere Croftalariz) minime articulatum, 
vens tamen transverse affinitatem indicant cum JDesmodieis potius quam cum Phaseoleis, quibus 
charactere artificiali accedit.
