long, 1-2 flowered, twice or thrice as long as the glumaceous, narrow-oblong bract. 
Pods uncial, 4 inch wide, suberect. The bracts and calyx are sometimes fringed 
with very soft, white hairs, and the young calyx sparingly villous. 
9. P. leiocarpa (Eck. & Zey. En. No. 1218); glabrous; leaves 
lanceolate, acute, margined, one-nerved ; racemes subumbellate, few 
flowered ; pedicels longer than the bracts, glabrous as well as the calyx 
and pod ; calyx-lobes deltoid, subacute. Benth, l. c. p. 447.

This precisely resembles P. myrtifolia, except that the pedicels and pods are quite 
glabrous ; the latter shining, 14 inch long. 
10. P. latifolia (Benth. Lond. Journ. 2. p. 447) ; branches hirsute ; 
leaves broadly ovate, obovate or elliptical, sharply mucronate, one- 
nerved and penniveined, softly villous and ciliate, becoming sub-glab- 
rous; racemes short, densely umbellate; pedicels as long as the ovate, 
densely hairy bracts; calyx densely and softly villous, its lobes taper- 
ing, subacute. 
Has. §. Africa, Scholl / Burchell (8025) ; Gueinzius/ (Herb. Bth., Sd.) 
A robust shrub, 2-3 feet high, umbellately branched ; all the younger branches 
densely though softly hairy. Leaves imbricating, 4-3 inch long, §-3 broad, flat, 
obviously veined, only the old ones smooth. Whole inflorescence very densely vil- 
lous ; racemes 6-8 flowered ; the hairy pedicels §~} inch long. 
11. P. vestita (DC. Prod. 2. p. 122); branches ‘densely hirsute ; 
leaves ovate-orbicular, very concave, obtuse, imbricating, many-nerved, 
sparsely hispid on the upper, very densely hirsute and shaggy on the 
under (outer) surface ; flowers sub-capitate 5 bracts broadly ovate, longer 
than the pedicel, densely hirsute as well as the acutely lobed calyx.

A tall, stout. shrub, 2-4 feet high, with long, erect, virgate branches closely im- 
bricated with very concave, almost cymbiform leaves, whose outer surfaces are 
thickly covered with long, white, straight, rigid, coarse hairs. Leaves 4 inch long 
and broad, the veins visible on the upper or inner surface, which is green, thinly 
sprinkled with a few hairs. Hairs of the inflorescence often rust coloured. Flowers 
3-4 or more, subsessile at the ends of the branches.—Quite unlike any other species. 
2. ANISOTHEA (Sp. 52-15). 
12. P. elliptica (DC. Leg. Mem. t. 33) densely much branched, 
twigs angular, appressedly pubescent; leaves ovate or elliptical, minutely 
petiolate, calloso-mucronulate, flat, thickish, one-nerved, thinly appresso- 
sericeous on both sides ; peduncles axillary, 1 flowered or umbellately 
2-3 flowered, the pedicels longer than the bracts ; calyx appressedly 
puberulent, its lobes triangular, much shorter than the tube; legume 
linear-oblong, thinly pubescent. Benth! Lond. Journ. 2. p. 447. In-
