ENUMERATION OF LEGUMINOSS. 465 
Sect. 2.  Eurafnia.—Rafnia, E. Mey.—Calycis lacinie 
supreme lateralibus approximate. Carina rostrata. Legu- 
men polyspermum. Folia non amplexicaulia, uninervia v. 
penninervia, obscure reticulato-venosa. 
The species of this and the following section run much 
into one another in foliage, and each species varies much in 
aspect, according to the degree in which the inflorescence is 
developed ; the most constant characters must be sought in 
the calyx and carina. In this respect the specimens, I have 
received from Drége do not always agree with the characters 
given to them by E. Meyer, perhaps from some confusion in 
sorting them for distribution. The synonymy of this part 
of the genus is therefore more than usually confused and 
doubtful.

late elliptico-ovatis acuminatis basi in petiolum angustatis,

Among rocks on the Cederbergen, Drége !

Hills about Cape Town, and northward to the Piquetberg, 
and towards Oliphant's River in Clanwilliam, Drége and 
others; Burchell! n. 388. Perhaps, also in Swellendam 
district, if the R. triflora, B, and R. cordata, of Ecklon and 
Zeyher belong to this species. 
6. R. fastigiata, (Eckl. et Zeyh.! Enum. p. 160) ramulis

the name of Cro/aiaria triflora.
