Stem rather woody, erect, with few branches ; the nodes distant and easily 
breaking asunder wheat “dry. Leaves, in cultivated specimens, often irregularly la- 
ciniate. Flowers white, the two upper petals with a red blotch. The leaves and 
stipules vary in breadth, but not much in form. Willdenow’s P. cuspidatum/ 
(Herb. Berol., 12,447) is one of the many garden varieties with incised leaves. 
127. P. levigatum (Willd. 3. p. 685) ; suffruticose, brittle, glabrous, 
and glaucous ; leaves trifoholate, the leaflets articulated with the petiole, 
narrow-lanceolate or linear, fleshy, either quite entire, incised, trifid, or sub- 
pinnatifid ; stipules subulate ; peduncles short, 2-flowered ; pedicels very 
short, the calyx tube 3-4 times as long as the lanceolate segments. DC.

P. oxyphyllum, DC. ; on the same branch there are often both simple and divided

128. P. divaricatum (Thunb. ! Fl. Cap. p. 525); shrubby, slender, 
erect, much branched, glabrous or roughly puberulous ; leaves on short

glabrous or scabrous, fleshy, channelled, acute lobes ; stipules cordate, 
acuminate ; ; peduncles very short, 1-2- flowered ; ; pedicels very short,
