44 FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 
LEGUMINOSZ. 
1. Crotalaria calycina, Schranck.—Benth. in Lond. Journ. Bot. 
vol. ii. p. 564. 
Near Chek-chow. (Co. Eyre.) The colour of the flowers is in the 
above-quoted paper given as blue, whereas it is of a pale sulphur- 
yellow. The mistake arose from the confusion by several authors of 
this species with the C. sessiliflora. 
2. Crotalaria (Calycinæ) érevipes, Champ., sp. n. ; erecta, a basi ramosa, 
E stipulis minutis, foliis linearibus supra glabris v. rariter pilosis subtus 
cauleque adpresse pilosis, racemis terminalibus brevibus, floribus 
subsessilibus, bracteolis sub calyce bracteisque lanceolatis lineari- 
busve, calycis barbato-villosi laciniis superioribus late oblongis co- 3 
rollam superantibus, ovario multiovulato, legumine glabro calyce #4 
breviore. : 
Gathered in August 1849, on the borders of an old estuary at East 
Point, in sandy soil. 
Very near to the common C. sessiliflora, but differs at first sight by 
the large calyxes, nearly those of O. calycina. It is a plant of about 
a foot high, branching from the base, covered all over with sericeous 
hairs except the upper side of the leaves. These are as much as 33 
inches long by 2 to 23 lines broad. Inflorescence of C. sessiliflora, but 
flowers usually fewer. Upper segments of the calyx half an inch long 
when the flower opens, full 9 lines when in fruit. Corolla light blue; 
standard with dark streaks; keel white, with the extremity blue. 
. Pod black when ripe, about half an inch long. 
3. Crotalaria albida, Heyne.—Benth. in Lond. Journ. Bot. vol. ii. 
p. 567. 
Victoria Peak and other localities, flowering in summer. 
4. Crotalaria elliptica, Roxb.— Benth. 1. e. p. 580. 
Common all round Chek-chow. (Col. Eyre.) 
5. Indigofera hirsuta, Linn. 
On the Race-conrse, flowering in autumn.
