petioled, leaflets broadly obovate, obtuse, thin, pale, and microscopically 
strigillose beneath, the terminal petioled and largest; stipules obsolete ; 
racemes very slender, laxly few-flowered, scarcely longer than the 
leaves ; bracts and flowers very minute ; calyx’ glabrescent, shortly 5- 
toothed ; petals puberulous ; legumes subcompressed, straight, glabrous, 
many-seeded. 
Has. Between Omtendo and Omsamculo, at the edges of the wood, Drege. Port 
Natal, Dr. Sutherland, Gueinzius. (Herb. Bth., Hk., D.) 
A slender, but woody shrub, with many branches, and filiform, curved twigs, with 
a pale bark, nearly glabrous in all parts. Common petiole 1-14 inch long, minutely 
gland-stipelled ; the pairs of leaflets 2-3 lines apart. Leaflets 3-5 lines long, 2-4 lines 
wide, the terminal largest, the rest successively smaller, the lowest not 2 lines long, 
dark-green above, glaucous-grey beneath. Racemes 1-2 inches long, very slender. 
Bracts } line long, subulate, subpersistent. Flowers 1 line long. Legumes nearly 
inch long, 1 line wide, black, linear. 
91. I. pauciflora (E. & Z.! aoe ; suffruticose, slender, (diffuse ?) 
thinly strigillose ; branches terete ; leaves subsessile, 3-4-jugate ; leaf- 
lets (small) elliptic-oblong, mucronulate, thinly substrigillose above, 
rigidly strigose beneath, the terminal petioled; stipules setaceo-subu- 
late, long; racemes on filiform peduncles scarcely longer than the 
leaves, laxly few-flowered; bracts minute ; calyx segments setaceo-subu- 
late ; petals puberulous; legumes short, curved, subcompressed, acute, 
strigilloso-canescent. : 
Has. Among shrubs on the mounts. near Eland’s River, Uit., FE. & Z./ (Herb. Sd.) 
T have only seen two small branches, in bad preservation. The whole plant is thinly, 
but rigidly, strigose, with appressed, white, middle-fixed hairs. Common petiole 
scarcely inch long ; the pair of leaflets 2 lines apart. Leaflets 24-3 lines long, 1-14 
line wide, flat. Raceme 5-8 flowered, 1~1} inch long: peduncle setaceous. Flow- 
ers 2 lines long. Unripe legume 4 lines long, 4 line wide. 
92. I. seticulosa (Harv.); suffruticose, slender, erect, whitish, the 
filiform branches and twigs, peduncles, and petioles covered with short, 
gland-tipped, rigid, horizontally-patent bristles ; leaves petiolate, 3-4-ju- 
gate ; leaflets (minute) oblong, pubescent above, rigidly strigose beneath, 
the terminal petioled; stipules setaceo-subulate ; racemes on filiform, 
patent peduncles, equalling the leaves, laxly few-flowered ; bracts 
minute; calyx strigose, its segments shortly subulate; petals puberu- 
lous; legumes terete, subtorulose, straight, acute, 5-8 seeded, thinly 
strigillose and sprinkled with glandular bristles. 
Has. Uncertain, Armstrong. (Herb. Hooker.) 
Apparently an erect, very slender, much-branched plant, densely sprinkled in 
most parts with rigid, glandular sete, } line in length: the bark pale or whitish. 
Common petiole } inch long. Leaflets 1-2 lines long, 4 line wide. Racemes scarcely 
inch long. Flowers 2 lines long. 4—} inch long, brown, with white ap- 
pressed hairs and erect bristles. The habitat of this is quite uncertain, and possibly 
it may not be 8. African. In its remarkable pubescence it is allied to I. heterotricha 
and J. sordida, but is very different in other respects. 
93. I. adenocarpa (E. Mey.! Comm. p. 105); suffruticose, erect, white 
with appressed, rigid hairs, much-branched, the twigs spreading, rigid ; 
leaves long-petioled, 3—-4-jugate ; leaflets obovate, submucronulate, often 
complicate, subdistant, the terminal petioled; stipules subulate ; ra- 
cemes shortly peduncled, longer than the leayes, patent, laxly many-
