Var. e. falcata ; pedicels scarcely equalling the ovato-lanceolate, acuminate, very 
acute bracts ; calyx-lobes longer than the tube, falcate, acute ; leaflets varying from 
broadly elliptic-oblong with straight edges, to lanceolate and narrow-linear with 
strongly reflexed margins.

Very variable in the breadth, flatness and form of the leaves ; the length of the 
pedicel, of the bracts, and in the form of the calyx lobes. If the four first varieties 
be held separate, so must the fifth, which differs from all the rest in its very large 
and much acuminate bracts and strongly falcate calyx lobes. In other respects it 
is so like var. a. that I find it named “subternata” in Herb. Benth. Stems angu- 
lar, 3-4 feet high, robust, except in var. 8., which is a weak, straggling plant. 
Leaflets 3-14 inch long, 1-3 lines broad, rarely quite flat, usually with the margins 
recurved, but never covering the lower surface. Bracts in a. 1-1} lines, in B. 3-1 | 
line, in y. 2-3 lines, in 6. 1 line, in ¢. 3-5 lines long, always smoo' and somewhat 
shining, with straight points: acute, except in var. y. 
8. ©. longifolia (Vogel, Lin. to. p. 595.) ; glabrous.; leaflets flat, 
with reflexed margins, elongate, linear-spathulate, tapering at base, 
obtuse; bracts sharply keeled, striate, with strongly recurved. points, 
much shorter than the pedicel ; calyx lobes broadly falcate, acute, 
about as long as the tube. Benth. Lc. po 433.

A lasly-branched, straggling shrub, with angular branches. Leaflets 1-14 inches 
long, 1-14 lines wide, with obvious petiolules. Pedicels 3-4 times as long as the 
strongly hooked practs.—This comes near C. Vogelti, var. 3., but differs from all 
states of that species, in its bracts. 
4, C, tenuifolia (Lehm. Linn. 5. p. 373.) ; glabrous ; leaflets linear- 
filiform, with revolute edges, elongate ; bracts very broad, obtuse, strongly 
keeled; smooth, much shorter than the pedicels ; ealyx lobes deltoid, ob- 
tuse. Benth. l. ep» 433. E. § Z No. 1150. C. laricina, E. Mey.!

Shrub, 3-6 feet high, erect, much branched : readily known by its very narrow, 
pine-like leaflets, which are 13-2 inches long, and } line in diameter. Flowers in 
dense subterminal clusters, with remarkably large, very obtuse or truncate, boat- 
shaped bracts. Pedicels 4-§ inch long. 
5. C. genistoides (Br. Hort. Kew, Ed. 2. vol. 3. p. 5); glabrous or 
nearly so ; leaflets narrow-linear, with strongly revolute margins, acute OF — 
‘mucronate; bracts boatshaped, acute, smooth, erect, shorter than the 
icel ; calyx lobes broadly falea e, acute or mucronate.
