1, Eu-Tephrosia. (Sp. 1-16.) 
T. lupinifolia (DC. Prod. 2. p. 255); suffruticose, diffuse; stems, 
petioles, young leaves and peduncles fulvo-hirsute; leaves on long pe- 
tioles, palmately 5-foliolate, cuneate oblong, obtuse, mucronulate, mar- 
gined, glabrous on the upper, hairy on the under surface ; stipules short, 
broadly subulate, ribbed ; peduncles terminal and axillary, elongate, 
distantly many-flowered ; flowers small, spicato-racemose ; legumes 
compressed, fulvo-pubescent, about six-seeded ; style glabrous, Galega

Hk., Bth., D., Sd.) 
Stems 3-4 feet long, patently branched, flexuous, terete, densely clothed with 
short, patent, rather rigid, foxy hairs, which also invest all the young portions. Pe- 
duncles uncial, patent, or divaricate ; leaflets } inch long, 4 lines wide, thick and 
opaque, obliquely nerve-striate, often complicate. Stipules 2-3 lines long. Pedun- 
cles 6-12 inches long, racemose, the small shortly pedicellate ; flowers 13-1 inch 
apart. Legumes foxy, 14-14 inch long, 14 line wide. Known from all other 
8. African species by its digitate leaves. 
2. T. suberosa (DC. Prod. 2, p. 249); a shrub, leaves shortly petio- 
late, 8-10 jugate; leaflets oblongo-lanceolate or lanceolate, very pale, 
silky-canescent on both surfaces, subacute, midribbed, the older reticu- 
lately veiny ; stipules minute, deltoid ; peduncles terminal and axillary, 
racemose, shorter than the leaves ; ealyx-teeth from a broad base, subu- 
late ; style glabrous ; legumes fulvo-velutinous, 8-10 seeded, irregularly 
constricted between the seeds. Zey/ 352. Pappe 35. 
Has. Magalisberg, and near Aapges R., Burkeand Zeyher ! (Herb, Hk., D., Sd.) 
ingly a large, strong-growing shrub. Twigs softly tomentose, with thickish, 
corky, ribstriate bark. Leaves 4-6 inches long ; leaflets 1-14 inch long, 4—5 lines 
wide, the young ones densely silky and silvery on both sides, the older becoming less 
silky, with more obvious venation, but never glabrous. The whole plant very pale 
yellowish grey. Corolla 4-5 times as long as the small calyx, whose two upper teeth 
are connate nearly to the tip. Vexillum with a very short, callous claw, broadly 
oval. Ale shorter than the obtuse carina. Stamens monadelphous, pubescent. Le- 
gume 3 inches long, with thickened sutures, here and there constricted. Quite un- 
like any other 8S. African species. It occurs also in trop. Africa, and is common in 
trop. Asia and the Asiatic Archipelago. 
3. T. canescens (E. Mey.! Comm. Drege, p. 10g); suffruticose, erect, 
the whole plant densely silky and silvery canescent; leaves petiolate, 4-8
