The genus Chrysocalyx, of Guillemin and Perottet, would much 

 more naturally come in as a second section of Crotalaria, and the 

 species with palmately- compound leaves, already referred to Crota- 

 laria, would form the third section, which, containing the greater 

 number of Linnaean species, may be called Eucrotalaria. I should 

 exclude from it, however, several of E. Meyer's species which have 

 not a truly inflate pod, and perhaps also those with a biovulated ova- 

 rium forming the genus Clavulium of Desvaux.
