Has. Heathy ground on the mountains above Uitenhage, Z.¢ Z. (Herb. Sd.) 
Very like J. brachystachya, from which (unless the legumes afford further charac- 
ters) it chiefly differs in the gland-tipped, rigid sete, mixed with the tomentum of 
the branches, the flatter and thinner leaflets, and more slender calyx-segments. 
Leaflets 6-8 lines long, 14 line wide, the pairs nearly 1 line apart ; the common — 
petiole about quarter inch long. 
43. I. brachystachya (E. Mey.! Linn. 7. p. 168); shrubby, erect, 
densely much branched ; branches tomentose ; leaves sessile, bi-tri- 
jugate ; leaflets close, linear-subcuneate, with prominent midrib and 
strongly revolute margins, recurvo-mucronulate, albo-puberulous above, 
tomentose and canescent beneath, the terminal sessile ; stipules minute, 
subulate; racemes on very short peduncles, as long or twice as long as 
the leaf, canescent, pluriflowered ; bracts minute ; calyx canescent, its 
lobes broadly subulate ; petals albo-sericeous ; legumes short, few 
seeded, turgid, tomentose. H. Mey. ! Comm. Drege, p. 98. E.& Z. No. 1599.

(Herb. Th., Bth., Hk., Sd., D.) 
A strong, rigid, densely branched bush, 1-2 feet high, more or less tomentose. 
Common petiole 3-4 lines long, the leaflets scarcely a line apart. Leaflets 4-6 lines 
long, 1-2 lines wide, rarely flat, usually with strongly revolute margins. Racemes 
rarely longer than the leaves, few or several flowered. Flowers purple, 3 lines long. 
Legumes 6-7 lines long, terete, 14 line in diameter. 
44. I. stricta (L. fil.); shrubby, erect, much branched; branches 
straight, rigid, angular-furrowed, minutely strigillose ; leaves frequent, 
very patent, 3-4 jugate ; the short common-petiole naked or gland sti- 
pelled ; leaflets close, cuneate-oblong, narrow, obtuse or subacute, mucro- 
nulate, concave, glabrous above, thinly strigillose beneath ; stipules 
small, subulate ; racemes subsessile, equalling the leaves, laaly 3-4 flowered ; 
calyx pubescent, its lobes shortly subulate; petals fulvo-sericeous ; le- 
gumes terete, spreading, acute, thinly strigillose or glabrescent. T’hunb. /

A slender but rigid, straight-branched shrub, 1-2 feet high, with green (not hoary) 
foliage and thinly strigillose. Common petiole not half inch long ; leaflets 3-5 lines 
long, in a. row at point, in 8. more or less acute. Peduncles slender, very short. 
Flowers like those of J. Zeyheri. Legumes 1-1} inch long, many-seeded, at first stri- 
gillose, then glabrescent. Drege’s specimens entirely agree with the authentic sp. in 
Herb. Upsal! E. & Z.’s var. B. “pedunculata” seems to me to belong I. Zeyheri. — 
45. I, foliosa (E. Mey.! Comm. p. 10); shrubby, erect ; dark coloured, 
furrowed, strigillose, densely leafy ; leaves subsessile, Jaxly 3-4-Jugate,
