180 LEGUMINOS.E. - HeyLaNDi —— 
SUBTRIBE IL—LOTEX. DC. 
Stamens either all united (monadelphous), or nine united and one distinct (diadel- 
hous) Legume not jointed, 1-celled, or rarely 2-celled from the one suture being 
introflexed. Cotyledons flattish, foliaceous during germination. 
_ A. Stems usually shrubby: leaves simple or palmately trifoliolate, rarely pinnated : 
stamens almost always monadelphous : legume 1-celled.—Genistese, Brown. 
.HI. HEYLANDIA. DC.. 
Calyx 5-cleft, lobes nearly equal. Corolla papilionaceous: keel obliquely 
truncated, acuminated. Stamens monadelphous; the sheath cleft in front. 
Style filiform, bent so as to form nearly a right angle. Legume compressed, 
1-celled, 1-2-seeded. — Herbaceous -or shrubby plants, hairy, dichotomous, 
without stipules. Leaves on short petioles, obliquely cordate-ovate or.cor- 
date-roundish. Flowers axillary, solitary, nearly sessile, yellow, small. Le- 
gumes more or less hairy.

. We have presumed to combine the three species proposed by De Candolle, 
because they seem rather states of the same plant, arising partly from diier- 
ence of age: indeed we have observed the legumes to vary from glabrous to 
very hairy on the same specimen: had De Candolle seen a variety of speci- 
mens instead of*one or two only of each, he would have probably been of the 
same opinion.

. Calyx 5-lobed, somewhat 2-lipped ; the upper lip 2-, the lower 3-cleft. 
Corolla: vexillum large, cordate, with scales or callosities at the base: K 
faleate, usually tapering to a point, more rarely obtuse. Filaments all united ; 
sheath usually cleft in its upper part. Legumes turgid: valves ventricosé 
inflated. Seeds compressed, reniform, usually several. — Herbaceous °F 
shrubby plants. Stipules and bracteas sometimes minute or wanting, Some 
times large. Leaves simple or palmately compound, with 3-5-7 leaflets. 
Flowers usually yellow. 
We omit here C. incana, Linn., Wight ! cat. n. 709, a species certainly only cult 
vated in India, and from which C. affinis, DC. (a plant said to be from the Maritim ; 
but probably not indigenous there) does not appear to differ. We also pass over 3 
Brownei, Bertero !, DC. !, Wight cat. n, 708, our specimens having been raise the 
the Missionaries’ Garden from seeds sent to them by Mr Moon from Ceylon ; : Jative 
C. latifolia, Roxb.,” of his catalogue of Ceylon plants, erroneously said to bea © un- 
of India. We learn from Dr ri de that specimens have been received b alpes 
der that name from the Calcutta Botanic Garden, but it is not in Wallich's latter 
nor in Roxburgh's Hortus Benghalensis : it is, however, the C. lanceolata of the of C. 
‘work. When without fruit it might at first sight be taken for a large specimen: its 
cytisoides, Roxb. ( Priotropis cytisoides, W. & À.), which however differs widely in 1* 
carpological characters, having a legume elliptic, quite flat, slightly st ed, know 
_ Rated at the nase snd terminated by the straight base of the style. We do pete ore 
the C. striata, DC., nor from what part of India Leschenault obtained it: no chara! 
ter is given sufficient to enable us to recognise it. Lae pem.
