60 LEGUMINOS& (Harv.) [ Lotononis. 
Has. Magaliesberg, Burke and Zeyher / (Herb. D., Hk., Bth.) 
Many-stemmed, from a woody crown ; the stems 4—6 inches high, with a few 
erect branches. Leaves pale, trifoliolate, on short petioles ; the leaflets often with 
a much acuminate point. Stipules as large as the leaflets and of similar form. 
Nearly allied to Z. corymbosa, but the heads have much fewer and larger flowers ; 
the leaflets are differently shaped and very acute, and the stems more branching. 
36. L. corymbosa (Benth. ! 1. c. p.606); ascending or erect, sub-sim- 
ple, pilose ; stipule leaflike, longer than the petiole ; leaflets elliptic-ob- 
long or obovate, obtuse or sub-acute, pilose on both sides; heads sessile, 
very-many-flowered ; bracts setaceous ; calyx hirsute; the oblong-acu- 
minate vexillum, and the obtuse, arched carina pubescent. Lipozygis 
corymbosa, E, Mey.! Comm. p. 79. 
Has. Grassy hills, near the Umsata, Drege! Top of Table Mt., Natal, Krauss ! 
Gueinzius ! (Herb. D., Hk., Bth., Sd.) 
Many-stemmed from a thick, woody crown. Stems 4-5 inches high, in our speci- 
mens quite simple, terminated with a somewhat corymbose-capitate cluster of shortly 
pedicellate flowers. Petiole 4-4 inch long ; the leaflets longer, 2-3 lines wide, and 
generally blunt : by which character and the smaller and more numerous flowers this 
species is easily known from Z. eriantha. 
37. L. lanceolata (Benth! 1. c. p. 606); thinly villous, stems as- 
cending, simple or slightly branched ; the leaflike stipule and leaflets 
linear-lanceolate, acute ; heads laxly corymbiform, terminal, sub-sessile, 
many-flowered ; bracts setaceous; calyx thinly silky ; the oblong-acu- 
minate vexillum and the incurved, obtuse carina, glabrous or minutely 
pilose. Aspalathus lanceolatus, Z. Mey.! Comm.p. 37.

A foot or spy height. turning tik fs ‘lag cee thinly sprinkled with fe 
patent, very slender and soft hairs. Petioles 1-2 lines long ; leaflets 3-1 inch long, 
toe lines wide, tapering to each end. Flowers clustered rather than capitate, not

38. L. porrecta (Benth. 1. c. p. 606); procumbent or prostrate, much 
branched, silky-pubescent ; stipule falcate, small ; petioles short, leaf- 
lets (small) cuneate-oblong or obovate, glabrous above, appressedly pubes- 
cent beneath ; flowers in pairs or solitary, sub-sessile; calyx thinly 
silky, oblong, cleft to the middle, the lowest lobe subulate, very narrow ; 
petals exserted ; legume pubescent, scarcely longer than the calyx. Cap-

Has. Zwartbulletje, on stony hills, and at Gamke River, Drege. Between Gra- 
hamstown and Bothasberg ; Zwartkops River, Z. § Z.! Pappe! (Herb. D., Bth., Sd.) 
A very dwarf suffruticose plant, the stems 6-8 inches long, spreading flat over the 
ground in all directions and densely leafy, with patent, prostrate branches, Leaves 
3-foliolate, including the petiole not 4—-inch long ; the leaflets 2-24 lines long, 1 line 
broad, very blunt. Flowers small, yellow. The upper calyx lobes are connate in 
pairs for 3-3 of their length, the lowest is separated by a much deeper sinus, and is 
very narrow, but nearly as long as the rest. As well as I can make out froma very 
bad specimen of Drege’s plant in Herb. Bentham, it is the that of E. & Z.! 
from which I chiefly describe. Meteosat ‘ 
89. L. carinalis (Harv.); procumbent, dichotomous, silky-canescent ; 
stipule solitary, falcate, shorter than the petiole ; leaflets cuneate-ob-
