440 ENUMERATION OF LEGUMINOS&. 
marck’s figure, especially as to the calyx, it is evident that 
it was taken from this species, and not from the preceding 
one.

p- 158, 159.—A very common plant, with a closer appressed 
pubescence than any of the preceding, but much less silky 
and very different from the P. sericea, for which Walpers 
and others have mistaken many of its forms. Besides the 
usual variations in the form of the leaves, the degree of 
hairiness, the length of the peduncles and size of the flower, 
this species varies much in the colour of the corolla, and on 
that account was named P. versicolor by Burchell, and is so 
called in some gardens. 
Apparently very common in grassy low places, eastward 
of the Cape from Caledon and Tulbagh, through the districts 
of Zwellendam and George, to the Zwartkops River in 
Uitenhage. 
15. P. sericea (Br.—DC. Prod. 2, p. 101), foliis obovatis 
v. cuneato-oblongis utrinque sericeo-nitentibus, pedunculis 
unifloris folio brevioribus, bracteis linearibus, laciniis calycis 
sericei anguste lanceolatis acutis carinam equantibus, legu- 
mine sericeo.—Leaves often like those of P. cuneifolia, but 
readily known by the calyx. 
Cape Flats and Table Mountain, Drige ! Ecklon and Zey- 
her! but probably not common, as it is seldom to be seen 
amongst Cape collections.
