 subterminalibus. 

 D. ericifolia. Exot. Bot. t. 25. 



A rigid shrub, with copious clustered branches, covered when 

 young with dense prominent pubescence, and clothed with nu- 

 merous, scattered, spreading leaves, on short footstalks, with a 

 pair of obsolete gland-like stipulas at the base of the stalk. 

 Each leaf is about half an inch long, linear, twisted half round, 

 rough all over with minute points, acute and somewhat pun- 

 gent ; the under side convex, but not keeled ; the upper marked 

 with a longitudinal furrow. Flower-stalks clustered about the 

 summits of the branches, rarely lateral, with several concave 

 bracteas at their base, and a pair towards the middle of each. 

 Calyx bell-shaped, two-lipped, angular at the base, fringed at 

 the edge: its upper lip of 2 divaricated, oblique, deflexed seg- 

 ments ; its under of 3, nearly equal, rather smaller ones, of 

 which the 2 lateral have hooked deflexed points. Petals of a 

 full permanent yellow; the standard very broad, short and cloven, 

 with a crimson, radiating, central spot. Legume ovate, turgid, 

 rather hairy, terminated by the thick permanent style, about a 

 quarter as long, which is also hairy at the base, smooth and re- 

 curved towards the end. 



2. D. floribunda, foliis linearibus subtortis tuberculato-scabris, 

 floribus lateralibus axillaribus.
