linear-lanceolate, appressedly-pubescent on both surfaces; peduncles

This may possibly be a broad-leaved state of the preceding. The petioles are 14 
inch long, frequently deflexed ; the leaflets of the upper leaves 14-1 g inch long, 1 
line wide, acute at each end, with reflexed ins ; those of the lower leaves shorter 
and broader, but lanceolate (not cuneate). Whole plant silky, with somewhat the 
- habit of an Argyrolobium. I have only seen one specimen, with imperfectly pre- 
served yellow flowers. 
11. C. Grantiana (Harv.); herbaceous, erect; branches appressedly- 
pubescent; stipules minute, setaceo-subulate; leafiets cuneate, obtuse 
or emarginate, glabrous above, appressedly-pubescent beneath; pedun- 
cles filiform, opposite the leaves or terminal, bracteolate beyond the 
middle, not much longer than the petiole, 1, rarely 2-flowered; calyx 
segments lanceolate, longer than the tube; carina with a long straight 
beak; vexillum downy; legume sessile, broadly-oblong, pubescent, 
many-seeded, 
Has. Port Natal, Dr. W. B. Grant. (Herb. Hook.) 
A small, slender, probably annual species, a foot in length, branching, leafy, many 
flowered. Leaves trifoliolate, on shortish petioles ; leaflets $-] inch long, not 2 lines 
wide. Peduwneles threadlike, about an inch long, articulate and minutely bracteolate 
beyond the middle ; flowers inclined, small, yellow, striate. Legume 5-6 lines long, 
much inflated, 2-3 lines wide. Except in inflorescence, this much resembles C’. Se- 
negalensis, and possibly it may be only a dwarfed form of that species. 
12. C. distans (Benth. Lond. Journ. vol. 2. p. 582) ; herbaceous, mi- 
nutely puberulous, slender, erect or ascending, with sub-terete, virgate 
branches; stipules bristle-shaped ; leaflets oblong-linear or lanceolate, 
obtuse or mucronate, glabrous above, very minutely and ap y 
pubescent beneath; racemes opposite the leaves, distantly 2-6 flowered ; 
ovules numerous; legume sessile, oblong-oval, minutely downy. 
Has. Lay Spruit and Tal River, N. East, Burke and Zey.! (Herb. Hk. ,8d., D.) 
A slender, much branched, slightly suffruticose or herbaceous species, think 
covered with extremely minute, close-pressed hairs. Petioles shorter than the leaf- 
lets, }-} inch long; leaflets 1-14 inch long, 1-2 lines wide, the middle one longer 
than the others. Peduncles 3-5 inches long, the flowers an inch apart, yellow. 
Legumes turgid, 4-3 inch long. 
13. C. lanceolata (E. Mey.! Comm. p.24) ; erect, herbaceous ; branches 
virgate, angular and striate, appressedly downy; stipules obsolete ; 
leaflets narrow-lanceolate, elongate, appressedly puberulent beneath ; 
racemes terminal, elongating, many flowered; calyx-teeth triangular, 
not half as long as the tube; legume sessile, elongate, appressedly 
downy. Benth. l.c. p. 585.
