auricled at the base. Legume large, inflated, stipitate, mu- 
cronate at the point, with the persistent base of the style, 
many-seeded. Seeds compressed, round, small in proportion 
to the size of the legume. 
I received this plant, along with many others equally in- 
teresting, from Madeira, in March, 1830. It grows among 
the mountains of that district, flowering and ripening its seeds 
in the cool season. 
[This very handsome species of Crotalaria was named 
“tomentosa” by Dr. Wight; but there being already a C. 
tomentosa of Rottler among the simple-leaved species, I have 
altered it to C. digitata. Its nearest affinity, and the only 
one perhaps to which it approaches, is the C. quinquefolia of 
Linn., but that is a glabrous plant, or nearly so, and has nar- 
tow-lanceolate Jeaflets. Both are annual, and both must have, 
when growing, a good deal the aspect of a Lupine.]
