3. D. pusillus, ramulis tenuibus patentibus, foliis floralibus 
plerisque oppositis, foliolis cuneato-oblongis, pedunculis bre- 
vibus filiformibus 1-2-floris, calyce profunde bilabiato, den- 
tibus lanceolatis.—Calycotome pusilla, E. Mey.! Comm. p. 
113, excl. syn.—This plant differs only from D. gracilis by 
the narrower leaflets, and perhaps smaller flowers. Thun- 
berg's description of Galega pusilla, supposed by E. Meyer 
to belong to this species, appears to me to refer to something 
very different, but it is impossible to guess at it with any 
accuracy when its generic characters are not otherwise known 
than as being comprised in the same genus with species now 
known to be severally referrible to the Podalyriee, Genistee, 
Galegee and Phaseolee.

nuibus patentibus, foliis floralibus plerisque oppositis, foliolis 
obovatis, pedunculis brevibus filiformibus 1-2-floris,calycepro- — 
funde bilabiato alis paullo breviore, dentibus lanceolatis acumi- — — 
natis.—D. patens, E. Mey.! Comm. p. 36.—The peduncles: 
in this and the preceding species are terminal between the 
two last leaves, which are opposite. When the axillary buds. E 
of both these leaves are developed, the peduncle remains fe 
within the consequent bifurcation of the stem, but when, aS- - 
is more frequently the case, one axillary bud only is length- — 
ened out, the flower appears to be placed in the axilla of the. 
opposite leaf. The peduncle is usually uniflorous but arum. 
lated and bearing a small bractea above the middle, m the 
axilla of which a second flower is sometimes produced. —
