Linnzus appears to have formed his C. dodecandra from a trifoliolate speci- 
men of this plant: his C. viscosa, as far as regards the synonym, and the 
shape of the leaves, is the same with P. felina, DC. P. viscosa, DC., as to the 
character and cultivated specimens to which he refers, is P. graveolens, Raf. ; 
his var. z is P. felina; and his 8 is the present plant. Sprengel's C. viscosa 
(Syst. 2. p. 125), refers more particularly to P. graveolens. 
74. (3) P. felina (DC.:) thickly covered, especially the leaves, with short 
harsh prickly hairs: leaves trifoliolate ; leaflets broadly obovate, cuneate, 
shorter than the petiole: stamens numerous (28-32) : siliqua oblong-linea, —
