long, very slender, red, bifariously ramous branches, spread - 
ing close on the surface of the earth, but I never found them 
strike root, covering, in the rich soil of Bengal, a space of 
three or more feet in diameter. Leaves generally in fives, 
three on the apex of a very short common petiole, the other 
two on opposite sides of its base, stipulaceous, all cuneate, 
pretty smooth, and entire ; scarcely a quarter of an inch long, 
and about a line broad. Stipules only some soft hairs about 
the insertion of the leaves. Pedunc/es axillary, solitary, 
longer than the leaves, very slender, one-flowered. Flowers 
small,red. Legumes linear-oblong, round, sprinkled with a 
few short hairs, containing from two to four seeds,

Ihave not found any other species which can be compared 
to the above quoted one, and suspect it to be the same. My 
plant is almost destitute of pubescence as it is only on the sti-

to be found, particularly while young. 
A native of Coromandel ; where, like the rest of the genus 
it flowers in the rains and cool season,
