as in the following species, it is not half an inch. 
645. (2) G. villosa (W. & A.:) branches more or less villous : leaflets oval, 
obtuse, or slightly retuse at both ends; upper side softly pubescent, under 
villous: calyx softly hairy, campanulate.— Wight! cat. n. 939.—Glycine te- 
nuiflora, Wall. ! L. n. 5509, b, c.—G. filiformis, Wall.! L. n. 5510. (partly). 
When the leaves are old, they become much more glabrous, especially 
those near the root ; but G. tenuiflora has them villous at no period.

Calyx 4-cleft ; segments acuminated, entire, the inferior and superior longer 
than the lateral ones: bracteoles 2 at the base of the calyx, scarious, subulate, 
and nearly the length of the tube. Corolla papilionaceous, twice the length 
of the calyx: petals long-unguiculate: keel of one piece, shorter than and 
free from the alee: vexillum without callosities, the margins bent back. Sta- 
mens diadelphous (9 and 1) all fertile. Style compressed, glabrous, elon- 
gated, after flowering somewhat flexose. Stigma capitate. Legume linear, 
compressed, hairy, continuous, 5-6-seeded, with cellular partitions between 
the seeds.— T wining. Branches, petioles and racemes covered with spreading 
hairs. Stipules and bracteas lanceolate, scariose, striated. Leaves pinnately 
trifoliolate : leaflets with subulate partial stipules at the base: lateral ones ovate 
or oval, terminal one rhomboidal. Racemes axillary, shorter than the leaves,
