 several in racemes. Calyx somewhat 2-lipped, the upper lobes more united than the 

 lower. Corolla yellow or mainly so : blade of the standard suborbicular, sharply 

 auricled at the base: blades of the wings rather prominently but unequally auricled 

 on each side: blades of the keel-petals broad at the apex. Pod elongated, turgid. — 

 Differs from Doliclwlus in the more than 3-ovuled or 3-seeded carpels and sharp 

 incurved auricles at the base of the standard-blade.

 than the other petals, the blade longer than wide: blades of the wings auricled on one 

 side: keel-petals scythe-shaped. Pod turgid. — Differs from Erythrina in the promi- 

 nently lobed calyx and the small standard, the flat pods and the flattened seeds.
