with almost sessile flowers, which are afterwards more or less 
remote, and borne on pedicels of several lines in length. Flower 
8-10 lines long, pale pink; calyx wide, scarcely two lines 
long, almost equally 5-fid, teeth triangular, acute, the lowest 
a little longer, the two upper ones less deeply divided than 
the rest, Fruit unknown. There is no species of the genus 
with which I am acquainted to which this bears any parti- 
cular resemblance.

A most distinct species, somewhat akin to T. linearis, Pers. 
and 7. discolor, E. Mey., which, however, differ in having 
but 4-6 pairs of much shorter and obtuse folioles, and in 
their bracts, pubescence, etc. In our plant the leaves are 
about 6 inches long, and the folioles 13-2 inches in length by 
1-1} line in breadth. Stipules 4-5 lines long, scarcely 3 line 
broad at the base. Flowers a little smaller than in T. glome- 
ruliflora, pink; calyx nearly the same as in the latter, the 
lower lobe a little longer. Legumen above 2 inches long, 2 
lines broad, strongly compressed, with blunt sutures and a 
short beak, slightly torose. Ber im

linearibus, complicatis, recurvo-submucronatis ; racemis ter-

floribus in bractearum setacearum axillis 2-3 fasciculatis.
