A climbing suffrutex, several feet long ; the younger portions clothed with golden 
or tawny soft hairs and resin-dotted. Petioles 4-3 inch long. Stipules and bracts 
similar, each 4—5 lines long, 2-3 wide, brown, softly fringed. Leaflets 1} inch long, 
4-3 wide, dark coloured above, fulvescent beneath. Peduncles: equalling the leaf, 
or shorter or longer, 3-4-flowered at the summit. Flowers golden-yellow or ora

2. R. leucoscias (Benth. !); suffruticose, voluble, albo-villous ; petioles

albo-tomentose bencath ; stipules broadly oblong, obtuse ; peduncles um- 
belliferous ; calyx-tube very short, the segments lanceolate, leafy, silky 
and silvery, scarcely shorter than the vexillum, the two uppermost con-

Readily known from R. chrysoscias by its much whiter, more copious and woolly 
pubescence, and the connate upper calyx-lobes. Var. f. is less woolly, with few flow- 
ers, and very narrow, almost terete-revolute leaves. ‘Leaflets in a. 2 inches long, 
4 lines wide ; in 8. 1 inch long, 1-2 lines wide. Flowers yellow. 
3. R. microscias (Benth.!) ; suffruticose, voluble, silky-canescent ; 
petioles very short, leaflets lanceolate or linear with revolute margins, 
whitish and tomentulose beneath ; stipules and bracts ovato-lanceolate, 
4. R. uniflora (Harv.); voluble, silky-canescent ; petioles very short, 
leaflets lanceolate or linear with revolute margins, whitish and tomen- 
tulose beneath ; stipules ovate, subacute; flowers solitary, avillary, on 
short pedicels ; calyx-tube very short, the segments lanceolate, leafy, 
silky-villous, not much shorter than the vexillum, the two uppermost 
connate to the middle. Cylista angustifolia, H. § Z.! 1689, non LE. Mey.

than the calyx. Jacquin’s figure fairly represents the specimens in Hb. Sonder. —
