90. Indigofera Kraussiana, nob.—Fruticosa, glabra, ramis 
adscendentibus, haud spinescentibus ; foliis 1-foliolatis, peti- 
olatis, coriaceis, spathulato-v. obovato-oblongis, ex apice rotun- 
dato minute mucronulatis; stipulis minutis, acutis ; racemis 
axillaribus, pancifloris, folio vix longioribus; calycis canes- 
centis lobis obtusiusculis. 
In solo argillaceo prope montes Winterhoek, Uitenhage 
(IV. C. c.) Mart. 1839. Dr. Krauss, n. 845. 
Easily distinguishable, by the above diagnose, from Dr. 
Meyer's I. nudicaulis and dumosa, as well as from Thunberg’s 
I. filifolia, depressa and ovata, which are, to our knowledge, 
the only hitherto described Cape species with unifoliolate 
leaves: J. avillaris E. Mey. (Linnea 7, p. 166) being, accord- 
ing to Ecklon, the same as Amphithalea virgata. (See our obs. 
under Amphithalea Kraussiana.) Except the calyx and the 
Scarce and minute pubescence of the extremity of the 
branches, and on the back of the vexillum, our plant is en- 
tirely glabrous. Branches slender, rather divaricate, but 
bending upwards at their extremity, the cicatrices of the 
leaves tuberculiform. Stipules searcely one line long, trian- 
gular, acute, deciduous. Petiole 1-23 lines long, articulating 
with the foliole which is flat, 4-6 lines long, 2-3 lines 
broad, generally broader towards the summit, and frequently 
cuneate; besides the middle nerve, they show but rarely and 
very indistinctly a few lateral veins. The colour of the fo- 
liage is a pale, livid, greyish or glaucous green. Flowers 
scarcely more than 2 lines long, pale pink ? pedicels but half 
as long, bracts minute and deciduous. :
