| both sides, glabrous, folded upon the upper side, the acute 
i to acuminate apex recurved, margins entire, rounded or sub- 
; truncate at the base, alternate, the larger blades 1.5 dm. 
long, 7.5 cm. wide across the middle or a trifle below this, 
the terminal one usually a trifle larger and with equal sides, 
tne upper side of the sessile lateral ones narrower and straighter; 
petiole ascending, thickened and twisted at the base, glabrous, 
7.5 em. long, terete; terminal petiolule 1 cm. long, ped- 
icels about as long; midvein conspicuously raised on the 
lower side, with 7 to 9 ascendingly curved lateral pairs, 
the reticulations quite prominent beneath, all glabrous; stipules 
not observed. Inflorescent spike lateral or from the leaf axils, 
solitary or few-clustered, 1 dm. long; rachis dark green, stout, 
terete, smooth, short branched from near the base; branchlets 
similar in color, ascending, promiscuously scattered, less than 
| 1 cm. in length; -pedicels 1.5 cm. long, slender, glabrous, 
4 falling with the flowers and leaving large scars, pale green, 
suberect; calyx pale green, glabrous, 7.5 mm. long, 5 mm. 
wide across the top, purplish striate, apex truncate, only 
obscurely lobed or toothed at the rim; petals 5, blue or 
purplish toward the base, free; banner 3 cm. long at least, 
nearly 1 em. wide, abruptly but gradually tapering at the 
base to the claw, oblong, apex acute or obtuse, dark blue 
or rather purplish striate; wings 12.5 mm. long, 5 mm. 
across, much curved and rounded at the apex, at the base 
with a broad lobe and abruptly constricted into the very 
slender claw; this claw appears to be united to those of 
the keels and is usually pubescent along the upper side; 
keels proper broadly lanceolate, united, the sharply acuminate 
point tubular and usually contain the stamens, falcate from 
the side, as long as the banner, abruptly tapering into the 
6 mm. long claw; stamens diadelphous, glabrous except the 
exerted portion which is usually puberulent; filaments sub- 
equal, the one beneath the reflexed banner the shortest; 
stamens oblong, longer than 1 mm.; ovary short tomentose, 
upon a long curved tomentose stipe, bearing a very slender 
glabrous style; fruit not observed.
