are not above a line in length, slightly 3-nerved at the 
- base. Racemes axillary, with a small pinnated leaf about 
the middle of the peduncle. Calyx marked with numer- 
ous pellucid glandular lines: segments obtuse.

pubescence is variable, so that sometimes the leaves are 
quite glabrous. This, like the following, has the hairs 
extending a considerable way below the stigma, but they 
extend all round the style. We are now satisfied that 
our Lathyrus Macrai, above quoted, belongs to this spe- 
cies, in which we had strangely overlooked the pellucid 
dots of the leaves while making the description.
