base, 3 or 4-seeded. Legume smooth, broad, flatly com: 
pressed, stipitate, and acute at either extremity, about 3- 
seeded, 10 to 15 lines long, stipe the length of the calix; 
upper suture straight, lower arcuate. G. comesa appears 
to be nothing more than the present plant, and ought per- 
haps to superecde the name of monoica, founded apparent- 
ly upon an acc.dental specimen, or the monster of a garden. 
This species approaches Galactia, but cannot possibly be 
introduced into that genus. 2. sarmentosa Leaves ter- 
nate, ovate; racemes 3-flowered, flowers apetslous; le- 
gume flat, 2-seeded; calix 4-toothed. A genuine congener 
of the preceding. 
Calix 4-cleft, subequal, upper segment bifid, 
base partly attenuated. Veaciliwm oboval; wings 
bidentate at the base: carina often incurved, 
shorter than the vexillum. Germ naked at the 
base. Legume oblong, compressed, 2-seeded, 
sessile, 
Herbaceous or shrubby plants; stems erect or twining, 
stipules catline, small, leaves ternate, rarely simple; 
flowers racemose, axillary and terminal, sometimes soli- 
sms bractes deciduous, 1-flowered; flowers often yellow-

Stem erect and angular; leaves ternate, subovate, 
sericeously villous; racemes axillary and terminal, longer 
than the leavess segments of the calix long and linear. 
Has. From Carolina to Florida. Flowers gg le 
yellow. Stipules obsolete. Calix, as in the following 
species, divided nearly to the base, of a foliaceous consis- 
tence and veined, the lowest segment a little longer than 
r ‘ 1 subi an the other 
at the base, and distinctly unguiculate; 
‘the keel, as in all the other species 
common with the genus? bidentate at the base, (which is 
not the case with Apios and Amphicarpa, in the latter the 
oblong and sessile yexillum is destitute of sinuous inden-
