The first species of this group come near to the last of the 
Oliganthe, and to the Disperme spherocarpe; írom the 
former they differ by their many-flowered racemes, from the 
latter by the ovules always more than two. From these a 
gradual passage may be traced to the C. acapulcensis which 
comes near to the Fruticose, but which I have retained 
among the Longirostres on account of the leaf-opposed 
racemes, long-beaked keel, the stipules more evident than 
usual among the Fruticose, and the general habit nearer to 
the former group. The longirostres are easily known from 
the Macrostachye by the straight-beaked keel, from the Stipu- 
lacee by the small narrow stipules, from most of the Incane 
by the pod which is either smooth or clothed with a short 
usual silky pubescence, and in most cases by the presence of 
stipules, and from all by the long beak of the keel.
