14. Crotalaria radiata sp. nov. 
Herba erecta, ramosa, circiter 40 em alta, omnibus partibus leviter 
pilosis; foliis trifoliolatis, stipulis nullis; foliolis parvis, ellipticis vel 
obovato-ellipticis, 1 ad 2 em longis, apice late rotundatis, brevissime 
apiculatis; racemis axillaribus terminalibusque, circiter 10 cm longis; 
pedicellis 1.5 em longis, bibracteolatis; floribus, ut videtur, flavis; calycis 
segmentis anguste lanceolatis, 1 em longis, subaequalibus, persistentibus, 
radiatis, corollam aequantibus; Jeguminibus junioribus pilosis, anguste 
oblongis, stipitatis, acuminatis; seminibus 25 ad 30. 
An annual, erect, much branched herb, at least 40 cm high, all parts 
sparingly pubescent with scattered, rather soft, whitish hairs, or the 
mature leaflets glabrous or nearly so. Branches terete, slender, greenish. 
Leaves trifoliolate, the petiole 1.5 to 2 em long; stipules none; leaflets 
elliptic to obovate-elliptic, membranaceous, 1 to 2 cm long, about 1 cm 
wide, all very shortly petiolulate, the base broadly cuneate, the apex 
rounded, very shortly apiculate, when young with scattered hairs on’ 
both surfaces, when mature glabrous on the upper surface. Racemes 
terminal and axillary, about 10 em long; pedicels slender, 1.5 cm long, 
each with two setaceous stipules below the middle 4 to 5 mm in length. 
Calyx cleft nearly to the base into five narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, 
subequal segments, about 10 mm long, 2.5 mm wide, which are persistent 
in fruit, slightly accrescent, and radiately disposed, becoming ultimately 
quite free. Corolla apparently yellow, as long as the calyx-segments. 
Ovary pubescent. Young pods narrowly oblong, 1.5 cm long, pilose, 
stipitate, the apex long and slenderly acuminate, straight or somewhat 
curved, each containing from 25 to 30 seeds. Mature pods unknown. +
