Has. 8, Africa, Burchell! (Herb. Burch.) 
Very slender, with something the habit of J. filicaulis, but with petioled leaves 
and much larger flowers. I have only seen a small specimen with a single flower. 
Petioles 2-24 lines long ; leaflets 4-5 lines long, not 4 line wide. 
36. I. eae (Thunb.! Fl. Cap. 598) ; suffruticose, procumbent or 
ascending, thinly strigillose ; leaves on short, channelled petioles, digi- 
tately 7-9 foliolate ; leaflets cuneate sublanceolate, narrow, acute, 
mostly complicate, concolorous, strigoso-hispid on both surfaces ; sti- 
pules broadly subulate, equalling or exceeding the petiole ; racemes on 
long peduncles, laxly many flowered ; calyx segments subulate 3 Vvexil- 
lum sparsely hispidulous ; legumes terete, subcompressed, 6-8 seeded, 
strigoso-puberulent. DC. Prod.2. p.231. L.§Z.! 1593. E. Mey.! Comm.

Stems ligneous but slender, 1-2 feet long, with ascending, subvirgate, 4~angled 
branches. Petioles 2-3 lines long. Leaflets 4-5 lines long, sometimes very nar- 
row, sometimes 2 lines wide beyond the middle, always tapering at base, subobtuse 
or acute ; the pubescence scanty on the upper, copious on the lower surface. Pedun- 
Fo ea long ; racemes dense, elongating; pedicels 1 line long. Legumes 
3-4 inch long. 
37. I. Burchellii (DC. Prod. 2. p. 231, non E. Mey.) ;_ suffruticose, 
slender, prostrate, thinly canescent ; branches angular; leaves on chan- 
nelled petioles, digitately 3-5 foliolate ; leaflets obovate or obcordate, 
mucronate, open, short, striglose above, thinly canescent beneath ; flowers 
and fruit unknown. Burch. Cat. 2918.

This may perhaps be merely a more glabrous state of J. bifrons, but till the inflo- 
rescence be found it is impossible to say. The stems are more slender than 
in I. bifrons, 6-12 inches long, alternately branched, and lying prone along the soil. 
38. I. bifrons (E. Mey.! Comm. p. 97) ; suffruticose, diffuse, white, 
with dense, minute, appressed pubescence ; branches angular ; leaves on 
thick, angular petioles, digitately 3-7 foliolate; leaflets obovate, com- 
plicate, short, silvery ; stipules minute, toothlike; racemes on angular 
peduncles longer than the leaves, several flowered; calyx shortly 5- 
toothed; petals puberulous ; legumes short, turgid, oblong, few-seeded, 
hook-mucronate, canescent.

A very small, depressed or prostrate, much branched plant, quite white in all 
parts, with minute, soft, close pubescence. Branches, petioles, and peduncles sharply 
angular. Petioles 2-6 lines long. Leaflets 2-4 lines long, 4-14 broad, thick, vein- 
less, very white. Peduncles about twice as long as the leaves ; pedicels very short; 
flowers 2 lines long. Legumes }-j inch long, 2-4 seeded.
