206 LEGUMINOS E. GALACTIA. 
XIV. DUMASIA. DC. 
Calyx cylindrical, obliquely truncated, not toothed, gibbous and with two 
minute subulate bracteoles at its base. Corolla papilionaceous ; the claws of 
the petals the length of thescalyx: limb of the vexillum cordate-oval: keel 
obtuse. Stamens diadelphous (9 and 1), all fertile. Style filiform at the 
base and apex, dilated above the middle. Stigma blunt. Legume attenuated 
at the base, 2-valved,,compressed, few-seeded, contracted between the seeds. 
—Twining herbaceous or suffrutescent plants. Stems terete. Leaves pin- 
nately trifoliolate : leaflets ovate. Racemes axillary. Legumes clothed with 
a short dense pubescence. 
643. (1) D. congesta (Graham :) branches, petioles, peduncles, and leaves, 
shortly villous : leaflets ovate, slightly inclining to lanceolate : racemes longer 
than the leaves, many-flowered: ale and keel strongly cohering for a little 
space by their limb.—Graham! in Wall.! L.n. 5524; Wight ! cat. n. 749.—

We can scarcely point out-a character to separate this from D. villosa of 
De Candolle, unless that our species has always the adult leaves more or less 
villous instead of being nearly glabrous, as in the other. The length of the 
legume is not sufficiently constant to afford characters. 
XV. GALACTIA. P. Browne. 
Calyx with 2 small acute bracteoles at its base, 4-cleft ; segments acute, 
nearly equal. Corolla papilionaceous : petals oblong (always ?), 5, distinct 
or the keel-petals slightly cohering at the apex ; vexillum incumbent, broader 
than the others. Stamens diadelphous (9 and 1), all fertile. Legume terete 
or compressed, several-seeded, 2-valved, 1-celled, elongated.—Shrubby, suf- 
fruticose, or herbaceous twining plants. Leaves pinnated : leaflets 1 or more 
pairs with an odd one, with partial stipules at their base. Racemes axillary. 
That the following ought to be united to the genus we have some doubts: but we 
believe that very similar species from the West pm are referred here by authors. 
The legume is coriaceous, and nearly that of Clitoria. They may at all events 
form a subgenus. 
Sub-Gen. CaMPESIA. Stems twining, filiform, terete : leaves pinnately trifoliolate : 
leaflets slightly coriaceous, mucronate, prominently reticulated with veins: racemes 
longer than the leaves, interrupted: flowers 2-4 together: calyx 4-cleft; segments 
lanceolate-subulate, convolute and flexuose by drying; lateral ones the smaller; up- 
per one the longest: ale shorter than the vexillum and keel: style glabrous, nearly 
acute: legumes erect, compressed, pubescent, 4-8seeded, with cellular partitions 
between the seeds.
