A virgate, much-branched shrub, 3-5 feet high, with angular branches ; the 
young twigs sometimes minutely downy. Leaves closely set, patent ; leaflets 4-3} 
or 1 inch long, 4 line in breadth, the under surface generally concealed, except the 
. midrib, by the revolution of the margins. In var. A. the leaflets are twice as broad, » 
and imperfectly revolute. 
6. ©. galioides (DC. Prod. 2. p. 101) ; young branches and twigs 
densely hirsute ; leaflets (except the young ones) glabrous, linear-terete, 
strongly revolute, acute or mucronate ; bracts ovato-lanceolate, cuspi- 
date-acuminate, smooth, erect, the outer one longer than the pedicels; 
calyx glabrous, its lobes broadly falcato-subulate, cuspidate. Benth. . c.

A stouter but shorter growing bush than C. genistoides, with dark-coloured black- 
ish-brown densely hairy branches, more erect leaves, and thicker and more revolute ce 
leaflets. The young parts are covered with long, villous, deciduous’hairs. Leaflets 
4-4 inch long, nearly 1 line in breadth, the under surface with a slender medial fur- 
row ; no midrib visible. The specimens of E. & Z. under this name in —s 
belong to C. genistoides, baie cat 
7. C. pubescens (E. & Z. ! Enum. No. 1 146) ; branches and ramuli, 
pedicels, and calyx, tomentose or pubescent ; leaflets glabrous, narrow- 
linear, with revolute margins ; bracts acuminate, hooked-backwards, rib- 
bed and furrowed, much shorter than the villous pedicel ; calyx furrowed, 
pubescent or tomentose, its lobes from a broad base falcato-subulate, 
very acute. Benth. in Lond. Journ. 2. p. 433. .

8. C. sessiliflora (E. Mey. Com. p. 4. non E. &Z ); young branches 
densely villous, older glabrous ; leaflets linear-terete, strongly revolute, 
softly hairy or glabrescent, sub-acute ; bracts very broadly ovate, cuspi-

with softer, and more silky pubescence; the young foliage is densely clothed, the 
older becoming nearly glabrous. The leaflets 7 inch long, 4 line in diameter, the 
margins completely revolute. ,
