posed species of this genus as one. It is closely allied to 
Crotalaria in which Roxburgh had included it, but is easily 
known by its constantly axillary inflorescence, and small 
lenticular flat pod. 
Common in open sunny pastures in Upper India, Royle / 
Jaquemont ! Edgeworth ! etc. in Hurdwar, Wallich ! (Cat. n. 
5342) in the Peninsula, Russell! Heyne ! Wight ! etc. Ceylon 
Leschenault. 
XIV. Lupinus, Linn.—J. G. Agardh, Syn. Lupin. 
This genus, closely allied to Crotalaria, yet distinguished 
from all Genistee by the tendency of the stipules to adhere to 
the petiole, does not strictty belong to the geographical region 
now under consideration, and is only mentioned here for the 
purpose of adverting to two supposed South African, and one 
Asiatic species included in Agardh's excellent monography, 
although amongst species unknown to him. 
L. integrifolius, (Linn. Spec. p. 1016 and Thunb. Fl. Cap. 
p. 589), appears to have been described from a specimen of 
Burmann’s, Neither Thunberg nor any of the later botanists, 
who have been at the Cape have ever found it. The descrip- 
tions, moreover, both of Linneus and Thunberg so exactly 
agree with the Lupinus villosus of North America, that I 
cannot help concluding that Desrousseaux was right im con- 
sidering the latter as Linnzus's species, and that some 
mistake had occurred as to the country from whence 
Burmann had procured it. Willdenow, it is true, says of his 
L. villosus, * certe diversus a sequente" (L, inlegrifolio), but 
the only distinetions he gives, are the flowers blue in L. 
integrifolius, and “ rubicunda? in L. villosus, and the calyxes 
alternate in the former, semiverticillate in the latter. But 
according to Torrey and Gray (Fl. N. Amer. 1. p. 382) the 
L. villosus includes a variety with reddish purple and another 
with blue flowers, as indeed may be observed in several 
species of Lupinus, and the flowers of the N. American plant 
are so irregularly subverticillate, that they may be often quite 
as well described as alternate, or rather spiral.
