Jvh\e sursum pallescens et flavescens contorta ; stylus brevior et 

 po^ticenon antice barbatus ; lobus alarum basalis major ; legumen

 Africa australi quam in Australia repragsentantur ; e. g. Crota-

 ea^pius compressum, Swainsonie saepius depressum. Speciea utri-

Swainsona procumbens nunc e multis novis locis nota est ; e. g. 

 Spencer's Gulf et Broughton^s River (F. M.), Lake Ilindmarsh 

 (Everard), Penola (Bewster), RIchardson's River (Curdie), 

 Murray's River (Gumraow), Grampians (Sullivan), Talbot,

 cujus carina brevior, non cyclum spiramve completum formans. 

 Foliola interdura retusa. Vexillum renato-cofdatum, ad ungnem 

 callis confluentibus depressis incrassatum. 



Swainsona Greyana usque ad flumina Bogan et Lachlan*s River 

 nec non Ballandool nisi nltra extendit. 



Swainsona lessertifolia in insula Kingii crescit. 



Swaintjona canescens in collectione Drnmmondi snb 268 exstat, 



Swainsoua MacCuUochiana in genus Sutherlandiam vix tenen-

tenniterque stipitatum, turgidura, Inflatum, oblongo-ovatnm, extus

Swainsona phaoifolia ob petalorum lateralium extcnsionem
