the leaves, angular, interruptedly fasciculato-racemose near the summit ;

1-2 feet high, branching, the stem augularly bent. Pubescence in all parts pale, 
whitish-grey. Leaves 24 inches long ; the leaflets uncial, 2-23 lines wide, green 
above, whitish beneath. Flowers in clusters, on pedicels that lengthen as the flowers 
advance, and in fruit are nearly 3 inch long. Corolla 4 inch long ; carina sharply 
rostrate. This has something the habit of 7. grandiflora, but smaller flowers, and 
very different calyx. 
19. T. macropoda (KE. Mey.! Comm. p. 112); suffruticose, procum- _ 
bent, variably pubescent; leaves on long petioles, 2-3-jugate ; leaflets 
broadly elliptical or oblong, obtuse or mucronulate, glabrous above, his- 
pid or hirsute or glabrescent beneath, nerve-striate and veiny ; pedun- 
cles opposite the leaves and terminal, very long, racemose or fasciculato- 
corymbose at the summit, bracts broadly ovate, deciduous ; calyx-teeth 
subulate, alternate ; stamens monadelphous ; legumes broadly linear, 
plano-compressed, sub-glabrous, hairy at the sutures. Apodynomene ma-

Stems several, 2-3 feet long, subsimple, lying on the ground. Leaves 1~2 inches 
apart, on petioles 2-4 inches long. Leaflets 1-1} inch long, 3-1 inch wide, dark 
green, quite flat, conspicuously veiny. Pubescence copious or scanty. Stipules 
broadly cordate-ovate, many-ribbed, 3-4 lines long. Peduncles 1-2 feet long, some- 
times with a few flowers crowded at the end ; sometimes laxly or interruptedly ra- 
_ cemose. Bracts broad, involving the young flower. Flowers purple (‘‘ yellow,” fide 
£. M.), 4 inch long. «Legumes biuncial, 3-4 lines wide, sessile. Native name 
“ Ttozane.” The roots are used by the Zooloo Caffres for stupifying or poisoning 
fish. The flesh of the prey so captured is eaten without injurious consequences.

tioles, 2-3-jugate; leaflets cuneate oblong or elliptical, subobtuse, mucro- 
nulate, glabrous, faintly penninerved ; peduncles terminal and opposite 
the leaves, very long, few-flowered at the summit; bracts ovate, deci-
