(Kennedya), 1840 v. 60 ( Hardenlergia). Genus a Kennedya imprimis habitu, floribus parvis viola- 
ceis et calyce breviter dentato distinguitur. Species 2 genuins insuper carina brevissima separantur, 
tertia anomala carina alis subzequali gaudet.

Genus olim a Benth. in Ann. Wien. Mus. ii. 122, in genera 3 divisum : 1. KENNEDYA, vexillo 
orbieulato, legumine compresso; 2. PuvsoronivM, Hueg. Bot. Archiv, t. 2, vexillo orbieulato, legu- 
mine turgido, pedunculis 2-flors v. florum paribus 2-3 ornatis; 3. Zrcuva, Hueg. Bot. Archiv, t. 1, 
vexillo orbieulato, legumine compresso, floribus umbellatis. Sed in K. g/abrata, Lindl., inflorescentia 
Zichye, legumen PAysolobii ; in K. microphylla, Meissn., inflorescentia PAysolobii, legumen Zichye ; 
K. prostrata, R. Br., inter Kennedyam et Physolobium, K. eximia inter Kennedyam et. Zichyam 
subintermedicze sunt et genus vix in sectiones dividendum. Carina in K. rubicunda et affinibus acuta, 
alis zequilonga v. longior, in K. eoccinea obtusa multo brevior.
