372 DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. Indigofera. 
A native of various parts of India. In flower all the year. 
It grows rather tall in a good soil, but is thin of branches, and 
rather a hostile looking plant, when growing in a bad soil. 
Note. This is the only species I can compare to I. trifoli- 
aia, and as I have reared it from seeds received from Dr. 
Klein of Tranquebar, under that name, am inclined to think 
they are the same. 
5. I, cinerea, Willd. iii, 1225. 
‘Shrubby, hoary, Leaves ternate; leaflets oblong, acute, 
hoary. acemes axillary, sub-sessile. Legumes horizontal, 
four-sided, with sharp thorny points. 
Teling. Veri neelli. 
A thin, poor looking, shrubby species, grows on dry un- 
cultivated ground afte on road sides. Flowers aneee the 
wet and cold seasons, © ; 
Siem short, woody. Branches numerous, bent in every 
direction, very rigid, covered with hoary bark ; the plant in 
general about two or three feet high. Leaves scattered, ter- 
nate, petioled, Leaflets oblong, or broad lanceolate, acute, 
entire, a very little hairy, and hoary, smaller than in any 
other of this family that I know, I. aspalathifolia excepted. 
Petioles channelled, Stipules subulate. Racemes axillary, 
sub-sessile, the length of the leaves. lowers small, red. 
Legumes horizontal, four-sided, very sharp pointed, from six 
to seven-seeded ; seeds remote. 
_ Note. It seems to agree better with the description of I. 
trita, in the Supplement of Linnzeus, than trita itself. Can 
there be any mistake? This species is immediately distin- 
guished from that, by being much more branchy, very white 
or hoary, and by the form of the leaflets, which in that are 
obovate, and emarginate; in this broad-lanceolar, and acute. 
6. I. glandulosa, Willd, iii, 1227, 
Suffrutex, diffuse. Leaves ternate; /eafleis somewhat
