256 LEGUMINOSZ (Harv.) [Rhynchosia. 
lanceolate-oblong, hispidulous or glabrescent 3 Stipules small, ovato- 
lanceolate, rigid ; peduncles equalling the leaves or longer, distantly 
- 2-3 flowered ; calyx segments longer than the tube, half as long as the 
glabrous vexillum ; legume oblong, sessile, densely piloso- pubescent.

and Kat R., £6 Z./ Mrs, F. W. Barber ! Magaliesberg, Burke § Zeyher! Uiten-

Something like R. glandulosa, but more hairy, with a different legume, and want- 
ing the large resinous dots ; differing from R. puberula in the longer petioles, &c. 
Stems either short and decumbent, or 12-20 inches long and twining. Leaflets gene- 
rally longer and broader than in R. glandulosa, rigid, strongly netted-veined, 14-2 
inches long, 4-8 lines wide, sometimes to lines. Flowers few, 3-4 lines long. Le- 
gume 6-8 lines long, 2-3 lines wide, quite sessile. Pubescence variable, whence the 
above synonyms, 
25. R. pilosa (Harv.); stem jliform, voluble, patently pilose ; leaflets 
of the lower leaves ovate-oblong, of the upper linear, all obtuse at base 
and acute at apex, hispidulous and ciliate, or glabrate, rigid and veiny ; 
stipules small, subulate ; peduncles setaceous, equalling the leaves, dis- 
tantly 2-flowered ; calyx segments setaceo-subulate, longer than the 
tube ; vexillum glabrous ; legume falcate, thinly pilose. Copisma 
pilosum, E. Mey.? Comm. p. 133. 
Has. Near Port Natal, Gueinzius/ Zuureberg and between the Omtendo and 
Omsameulo, Drege. (Herb. Sd., D.) 
Stems very slender, 2-3 feet long, subsimple, when young clothed with long, soft, 
rufous hairs. Lower leaflets 11 inch long, 7-8 lines wide ; upper as long, but only 
2-3 lines wide, green on both sides, variably pubescent, sometimes glabrate and 
shining above, not conspicuously resin-dotted. Stipules withering. Peduncles thread- 
like, 2~-2$ inches long, with 2 small flowers nearly an inch apart. Calyx pilose. Le- 
gume 8-9 lines long, acute at each end. I have not seen Drege’s specimens, on which 
Meyer founded the species. It comes very close to R. Totta. ’ :
