200 LEGUMINOS X. INDIGOFERA. 
§ 4. Leaves pinnated: racemes peduncled few-flowered : flowers very shortly pedi- 
celled, distant; calyx-segments short-subulate: legumes cylindrical, straight, 
6-12-seeded.—Dissitifore. ' 
624. (8) I. pentaphylla (Linn. :) suffruticose ; decumbent, terete, glabrous 
except the young parts: leaves pinnated ; leaflets 1-2-pairs, oval ; both sides 
but more particularly the under hoary from whitish soft hairs: stipules lan- 
ceolate-subulate, hairy: peduncles about the length of the leaves, bearing 
about 2-3 rather distant flowers: calyx-segments short, subulate: legumes 
straight, cylindrical, mucronate, glabrous: seeds 10-12, cylindrical, truncat- 
ed at both ends.—Linn. syst. veg. p. 564; DC. prod. 2. p. 230; Spr. syst. 3.

, Judging from the description given by Lamarck, we have little doubt but 
his J. pusilla is also this very species. The Linnean specimen of J. penta- 
phylla is cultivated, but agrees well with wild specimens, and with his own J. 
glabra. 
625. (9) I. viscosa (Lam.:) suffruticose, erect, much branched ; branches, 
petioles, peduncles, and legumes glutinous, with rigid gland-tipped hairs: 
leaves petioled, pinnated : leaflets 4-8 pairs, elliptie-oblong, pubescent from 
white adpressed hairs, particularly on the under side: racemes peduncled 
about the length of the leaves or longer: flowers distant, small: calyx-seg- 
ments short-subulate: legumes cylindrical, horizontal, straight: seeds 6-12, 
cylindrical, truncated at both ends.— Lam. enc. meth. 3. p. 247 ; DC. prod. 2. :

t. 166. f. 3 (good). 
§ 5. Leaves pinnated : racemes peduncled: flowers almost sessile, approximated at 
the apex of the peduncle: calyx-segments long and subulate: legumes com- 
pressed.—Planisilique. 
626. (10) I. tenuifolia (Rottl. !) herbaceous (annual 2), branched, diffuse ; 
branches terete and glabrous below, hairy and somewhat two-edged: leaves 
short-petioled, pinnated ; leaflets about 4 pairs, cuneate-oblong, sprinkled on 
both sides with adpressed whitish hairs: peduncles longer than the leaves, 
with a few almost sessile flowers towards the apex : calyx-segments subulate : 
legumes compressed, pointed, slightly torulose, nearly glabrous; sutures 
thickened.— Wight! cat. n. 864— —Mysore ; Heyne. 
86. Leaves trifoliate : racemes nearly sessile, several-flowered, at first corymbiform: 
pedicels elongated, several times longer than the calyx.—Laziflore. 
627. (11) I. pedicellata (W. & A. :) suffruticose, procumbent ; branches 
filiform, sprinkled with short adpressed brownish hairs; older parts terete ; 
young parts compressed, thickly covered with brown glands: leaves petioled, 
palmately trifoliate ; leaflets cuneate-oblong ; both sides with short whitish 
hairs mixed on the under side with glands : racemes almost sessile, somewhat 
corymbiform, about the length of the leaves : pedicels slender, drooping, 2-3; 
longer than the calyx: calyx deeply 5-cleft (segments linear and acute), and 
with the vexillum and keel hirsute and glanduliferous— Wight ! cat. n. 868. 
——Neelgherries. ; 
A very distinct species, and at first sight apparently not belonging to the 
genus: but the keel of the corolla is that of Indigifera. We have not seen the 
fruit; the slightly advanced ovary is falcate and pointed.
