the Decandrous Papilionaceous Plants of New Holland. 247 



intermediate furrow. Flowers for the most part so clustered 

 about the tops of the branches as to seem terminal and capitate, 

 but they are really axillary, and some of them are evidently so 

 from the first. By the elongation of the branches all the fruit 

 is lateral. The petals are of a deep yellow. Appendages at- 

 tached to the base of the calyx, whose teeth are long, slender 

 and hairy. 



4. P. Unophylla, foliis linearibus retusis mucronulatis pilosis, sti- 

 pulis geminis minutis, bracteis ovatis calyce brevioribus. 



P. linophylla. Schrad. Sert. Hannov. 28. ^.18. 



This flowered in Kew garden in January 1791, for the first 

 time probably in Europe; It has a more upright wand-like habit 

 than P. paleacea, with leaves somewhat angular and dilated at 

 their apex, as well as slightly pointed. The minute separate sti- 

 pulas, and the ovate blunt bracteas, which, instead of sur- 

 mounting the flowers, are shorter than the calyx, abundantly 

 distinguish it. 



5. P. retusa, foliis linearibus retusis muticis glabris, stipulis ge- 

 minis minutis, bracteis ovatis vix longitudine pedunculorum. 



Very like the last in habit; but the abrupt, often emarginate, 

 perfectly smooth leaves, not dilated at their apex, mark it at 

 first sight, and the very small bracteas confirm the specific dif- 

 ference. This also was among the very first New Holland plants 

 ever raised in England. 



6. P. daphnoides, foliis obovatis mucronulato-puhgentibus glabris, 

 stipulis geminis minutis, bracteis ovatis calyce brevioribus. 



P. daphnoides. Andr. Repos. t. 98. 



In size, and beauty of its flowers, this equals or excels the 



first
