trifoliastrum, while the specimens from the Caleutta Botanie Garden alone 
are €. stipitata, and the mixture may have arisen from accident. 
§ 12. Leaves 3-foliolate: legumes oblong, sessile or attenuated at the base with a 
kind of short stalk, several-seeded.__Hedreocarpe. 
605. (55) C. clavata (W. & A.:) erect, branched, all over whitish with a 
short adpressed pubescence except the upper side of the leaves: stipules very 
small, setaceous, patulous: leaves trifoliolate: leaflets cuneate-obovate, re- 
tuse, mucronate; upper side glabrous: petioles grooved above: racemes 
leaf-opposed, elongated, many-flowered : bracteas setaceous, reflexed : 
flowers shortly pedicellate: bracteoles lanceolate, reflexed, attached to the 
base of the calyx: calyx half the length of the glabrous corolla ; upper lip 
shorter than the lower: vexillum and faleate keel slightly longer than the 
ale : legume pendulous and parallel to the rachis, clavate, tapering at the 
base into a kind of short stalk, slightly covered with adpressed pubescence, 
many- (10-12-) seeded.— Wight! cat. n. 711.—C. cytisoides, Wight! in 
Wall.! L. n. 5424, d——Cunnawady near Dindygul. 
§ 13. Leaves digitately 5-7-foliolate: calyx nearly glabrous: legumes large, cla- 
vate-oblong, glabrous, attenuated at the base into a kind of short stalk: seeds 
'numerous.—Polyphylle. 
606. (56) C. quinquefolia (Linn.:) annual, erect, branched, pubescent or 
nearly glabrous: stems hollow: stipules small, setaceous, recurved: leaves 
5-foliolate, some of them occasionally trifoliate or very rarely simple ; leaflets 
usually longer than the petioles, from lanceolate to narrow-linear ; upper side 
glabrous, under of the younger ones often covered with a short silky pubes- 
cence: petioles grooved above: racemes terminal, much elongated, many- 
flowered : bracteas lanceolate, reflexed ; bracteoles subulate, near the bas 
of the pedicel: flowers large, rather distant: legumes clavate-oblong, gla- 
brous, attenuated at the base into a stalk much shorter than the aly: r^t 1 
very numerous.—Linn.! sp. p. 1006 ; DC. prod. 2. p. 131 ; Spr. syst. 9. p.241 5

The Linnean specimen of C. heterophylla is imperfect ; but after a careful 
examination of it, we are induced to regard it as an accidentally trifoliate state 
of the present species: the leaflets are slightly broader than usual, and almost 
obovate. The whole specimen consists of the end of a branch, or perh 
the top of a stunted plant, about 6 inches long ; in some of the lower leaves 
the lateral leaflets have become abortive, as often happens in the common 
form of the species. 
607. (57) C. digitata (Hooker:) somewhat shrubby, erect, branched, every- 
where (except the flowers) densély tomentose : ‘stipules subulate, reflexed: 
leaves digitate; leaflets 5 or rarely 7, obovate: racemes terminal and leat- 
opposed, elongated, many-flowered : bracteas lanceolate, reflexed : bracteoles 
setaceous, near the base of the pedicels: flowers large, approximated, long- 
pedicelled : legumes » clavate-oblong, glabrous, attenuated at the bene 
into a short stalk scarcely the length of the calyx : seeds numerous. Hn.

We have retained the name given by Dr Hooker in place of restoring tha 
of C. tomentosa, originally given to this species by Dr Wight in the Bot. misc. 
l. c., although the objection there stated be removed; the C. tomentosa 
Rottler being the same as Roxburgh’s C. ramosissima. 
. 608. (58) C. Grahamiana (W. & A.:) shrubby, erect, branched, ev 
where densely villous with adpressed silky hairs except the flowers and up- 
per side of the leaves: stipules subulate, reflexed : leaves digitate; l |
