of that genus, nor the glanduliferous anthers of the sub-tribe 
to which it belongs. These three genera have also some 
resemblance to Campylotropis and Lespedeza amongst Hedy- 
saree, and all but two of the species have, like them, uniovu- 
late ovaria, but the pod is dehiscent, and not reticulated, as 
in all the one-jointed Hedysaree. 
The inflorescence is much nearer that of Podalyriee than 
of most Genistee. The peduncles, generally very short, 
one-flowered or shortly racemiferous, are placed either in 
the axils of the upper leaves, reduced to mere bracts, so as to 
form a terminal head or short raceme, or, if the floral leaves 
retain the appearance of the cauline ones, the stem usually 
continues to grow, so that the peduncles at length become 
axillary along the stem. 
The following are the most important distinctive charac- 
ters of the genera. 
Liparia. Calycis lacinia infima maxima, petaloidea, colo- 
rata. Flores flavi capitati, bracteis magnis imbricatis involu- 
Priestleya. Calycis lacinia infima superioribus æqualis v. 
paullo longior. Carina incurva, lateribus inappendiculata. 
Ovarium pluri-ovulatum. Legumen oblongum v. lineare. 
Flores flavi in capitulum v. racemum brevem congesti V. 
rarius axillares. 
Amphithalea. Calyx subzqualis. Carina rectiuscula, ob- 
tusa, lateraliter appendiculata. Ovarium 1- v. pauci-ovula- 
tum.  Legumen ovatum 1-2-spermum, rarius oblongum 
oligo-spermum. Flores purpurascentes carina intensius colo- 
: «pal axillares v. in spicam foliosam approximati. 
Lathrioyyne. Calyx, ovarium et legumen Amphithalearum 
‘uniovulatarum. Corolla calycem vix superans, carina i 
rostrata. Flores flavi, subcapitati. 
Coclidium. Omnia Amphithalearum uniovulataram nisi 
filamenta omnia (sæpius breviter) connata. Folia involuta 
nec ut in præcedentibus plana v. revoluta.
