This is a very natural genus, easily known by the habit, 
something like that of our prickly Ononides, the usually glan- 
dular pubescence and the character given above. The flowers 
are like those of some of the smaller flowered Lotononides, the 
pod nearly that of the section Eremolobium of Argyrolobium, 
but usually much falcate and more or less glandular. The 
species known are all South African, and chiefly from the 
Eastern districts of Cape Colony, and from thence to the 
northward, two or three from the Cape district are scarcely 
spinescent. i
