Col. Grant's plant differs from the ordinary form of T. labialis іп the remarkably contracted racemes, 
the flowers being reduced to an axillary fascicle, and in the appressed hirsute legumes, the latter resem- 
bling rather those of some forms of the New-World 7. uncinatus, Sw.

Hab. Karagué, February 1862, Col. Grant ! 
As Mr. Baker remarks (/.c.), this may prove to be a mere tomentose form of E. abyssinica, А. Rich. 
Fl. Abyss. i. 214, t. 41 (Chirocalyæ abyssinicus, РІ. Tinn. t.3), in which case, if Lamarck's name be rightly 
applied, it must take precedence.
