50. H. fascicularis (Herb. Banks) ; fruticulose, glabrous ; pods linear, 
sub-erect, scarcely longer than the pedicel ; leaves filiform. DC. Syst. 2.

Has. Cape of Good Hope, Masson. 
Stems terete, erect, branched. Leaves erect, alternate, inch long, 4 line wide, 
subacute, with tufts in the axils. Racemes elongating. Pedicels filiform, uncial, 
erect both in fl. and young fruit, scarcely somewhat spreading. Pods compressed, 
linear, a line wide, about 1 inch long, with a pointed style.—Perhaps a mere variety 
of H. linearifolia. . 
51. H. linearifolia (Burch. Cat. No. 347 and 793); suffruticose, gla- 
brous, or sparsely hairy ; pods erect, linear, three-nerved, tipped with a 
subulate style ; leaves linear, acute, entire ; lateral stamens toothed.

Stems erect or decumbent, 1-3 feet high, with slender branches, Leaves inch 
long, longer or shorter, a line wide ; in y. twice as wide ; in 3 much narrower, the 
younger glaucous. Racemes 10-16 flowered, the lower flowers remote. Pedicels 
4-6 lines long, Petals rather longer than the calyx, blue, with yellow claws. Pods 
14-2 inches long, 1~14 lines wide ; in y. not more than inch long. Style 1-1} lines 
long.—A remarkable species, known from its immediate allies by its sharply three- 
nerved pods ; but perhaps a form of H. linearis DC. (See No. 37). zi #2 
52. H. stylosa (Burch. Cat. Geogr. 3291); shrubby, glabrous ; pods
