52. I. affinis (Harv.) ; suffruticose, erect, thinly strigillose ; branches 
virgate, angular, furrowed; leaves petiolate, distantly 3-4-jugate; leaf- 
lets linear-spathulate, obtuse or recurvo-mucronulate, complicate, stri- 
gillose beneath; stipules obsolete ; racemes on short peduncles, densely 
many flowered ; bracts minute; calyx canescent, its lobes shortly subu- 
late ; petals glabrous. 
Has. Near Lake Ngami, J. M‘Cabe! (Herb. Hook.) 
Very like J. fastigiata, E. Mey., but with distinctly petioled leaves (the lowest 
pair of leaflets 1-3 inch from base of common petiole) and much shorter peduncles, 
The naked portion of the peduncle is shorter than the leaf, the floriferous not twice 
as long. The foliage is a very pale green ; the leaflets 6-8 lines long, 1-14 line 
wide, cuneate at base. 
53. I. viminea (E. Mey.! Comm. Pp. 102); suffruticose, erect, strigil- 
loso-canescent ; stem erecto-patent, branches virgate, angular-furrowed; 
leaves shortly petioled, 4— 5—jugate, patent; leaflets remote, lanceolate- 
linear, with involute margins, mucronate, thinly strigilloso-puberulent, 
the terminal sessile; racemes on long, filiform peduncles, laxly many 
flowered ; pedicels long; calyx shortly 5-toothed ; petals fulvo-seri- 
ceous ; legumes subcompressed, straight, with thick sutures, strigillose, 
Has. In grass fields between Gekau and Basche, 1500-2000 f, and at Klein 
Bruintjeshoogte, Drege / (Herb. Benth., Sond.) . 
Two or more feet high, slender. Leaves subdistant. Common petiole uncial, the 
pairs of leaflets 3 lines apart. Leaflets 9-10 lines long, 1 line wide, pale green, 
scarcely canescent. Peduncles setaceous, 2 inches long ; the raceme 1-2 inches long. 
Pedicels 2-3 lines long. Both the calyx and petals are pubescent. 
54, I, corniculata (E. Mey.! Comm. p Tor); suffruticose ; “ stem 
erect, much branched;” leaves short petioled, 3-4~jugate ; leaflets cu- 
neate-oblong, obtuse, mucronulate, minutely strigillose on both sides, the 
terminal shortly petioled ; racemes on long peduncles, loosely several 
flowered, suberect ; pedicels longer than the calyx; calyx canescent; 
bluntly 5-toothed ; petals fulvo-sericeous ; “legumes terete, straight, cus- 
pidate.” EH, Mey.l.c.  . 
Has. Between the Omtata and Omsamwubo, Drege! (Herb. Benth., Sond.) 
I have, only seen one specimen. This is curved, somewhat angular, pale, thinly 
igillose, ves nearly an inch apart. Common petiole ; inch long, slightly 
prolonged beyond the last pair of leaflets, Leaflets 4-5 lines long, 13 wide near the 
apex, cuneate and acute at base, pale green, flat or nearly so, midribbed beneath. 
Peduncles 2-3 inches long, the upper half bearing flowers ; pedicels 2 lines long. 
Calyx not a line long, white. Petals 4-5 lines long, covered with tawny hairs. Le- 
gumes not seen, ; 
55. I. malacostach: (Benth. ! in Herb.); shrubby ; stems pro- 
eumbent, much brane willoso-tomentose ; branches flexuous, canes- 
cent, terete; leaves subsessile, 4— 5-jugate, the common petiole gland- 
stipelled ; leaflets obovate-oblong, obtuse, mucronulate, pilose above, 
villoso-canescent beneath, the terminal sessile or minutely petioled ;
