Has. Magalisberg, Burke & Zeyher! (Herb. Hk., Bth., Sd.) 
Many-stemmed, 12-14 inches high, chiefly branched from the base ; branches 
erect and subsimple. Leaves about an inch apart ; leaflets 4-3 inch long, 1-2 lines 
wide, the terminal shortly petioled. Peduncles 5—6 inches long, after flowering be- 
coming very rigid. Flowers closely crowded, pinky-purple, 3 lines long. Legumes 
1-1 inch long, slightly rugulose, 12-14 seeded. The whole plant is very pale, whitish- 
green, harsh to the touch and rigid. 
95. I. macra (E. Mey.! Comm. p. 105); suffruticose, erect, much- 
branched, thinly strigillose; twigs terete; leaves 3-4-jugate, leaflets 
linear-sublanceolate, subobtuse, strigillose beneath, the terminal short- 
petioled ; stipules minute, recurved, subulate; racemes on long pedun-

Has. Banks of the River Basche, Drege! (Herb. Bth., Sd,) i 
Woody below, slender, laxly-branched, with subdistant leaves. Common petiole 
1-14 inch long, the pairs of leaflets about 3 lines apart. Leaflets $ inch long, 1 line 
wide, very pale green. Racemes 3-4 inches long. Flowers small and pale. Legumes 
14-13 inch long, pale ochraceous. This has much of the general aspect of I. parvi- 
flora, but differs in inflorescence, calyx, &c. 
96. I. disticha (E. & Z.! 1623); suffruticose, diffuse, thinly strigil- 
lose, subeanescent ; branches flexuous, distichous, angular ; leaves short-

the terminal petiolate; stipules minute, subulate ; racemes spicate on 
long peduncles, gradually elongating, and laxly many-flowered ; flowers 
subsessile, bracts minute ; calyx canescent, its segments short, acute ; 
petals externally pubescent; legumes subterete, bluntly-angular, straight, 
very acute, thinly strigilloso-canescent. J. Hnonensis, H.M.Comm. p. 105.
