208 | LEGUMINOS X. Gori 
3-nerved at the base ; the nerves beneath and margin villous : partial stipules 
2, subulate, below the base of the leaflets. Racemes axillary ; at first dense, 
short, and comose (from the length of the subulate hairy bracteas, bracteoles 
and calyx-segments) ; afterwards much elongated and distant-flowered, par- 
ticularly in the lower part. Legumes reflexed. 
This and the last genus we have named respectively after Mr Noton (to whom 
the botany of the Neelgherry hills owes much), and the late Dr Shuter, naturalist on 
the Madras establishment. Perhaps we may be censured for creating two genera 
on apparently so slight characters as we have given; and had the Linnean genus 
Glycine been kept entire, we would have referred them there, but that has long ago 
been broken up, and the definitions given to each of the separated portions will not 
accord with either of our two. Dr Graham has referred the present to Soja, but the 
fruit, which he had probably not seen, is much at variance, and brings it to the group 
of the Clitoriee.

Calyx somewhat bilabiate ; upper lip bifid; lower trifid, more deeply cleft 
than the upper: segments lanceolate, acute. Bracteoles 2 at the base of the 
calyx, short, lanceolate. Corolla papilionaceous : vexillum without callosi- 
ties, emarginate, the sides bent back: keel never spirally twisted, obtuse, of 
one piece, free from the al, and shorter than them and the vexillum. Sta- 
mens 10, monadelphous, 5 alternately shorter, and occasionally without an- 
thers ; tube cleft in front. Ovarium oblong, obtuse. Style short, slightly 
curved, glabrous. Stigma slightly capitate, pruinose. Legume linear, com- 
pressed-cylindrical, nearly straight, ending in a shortish bent-up rigid point 
(the thickened and hardened base of the style), 2-valved, many-seeded, conti- 
nuous with cellular partitions between the seeds: valves convex.—Herbaceous 
or suffrutescent, twining, more or less hairy plants. Stems covered with short 
reflexed hairs. Stipules lanceolate, small. Leaves pinnately trifoliolate: 
leaflets with 2 minute setaceous partial stipules near their base. Racemes 
axillary, interrupted: flowers pinkish, 2-3 together, the fascicles rather dis- 
tant. 
We have presumed to alter the generic character give andolle, in order 
to include almost the nd patent species he penini irpan j Anges: we have never 
seen a plant agreeing with the definition in his Prodromus, and Mémoires sur 
Legumineuses : it seems to have been drawn up from different species; the diadelphor 
stamens, the filiform style, and the 1 e without partitions, belonging proba ly to 
more than one genus, while the hooked mucro above refers to the Linnean G- labialis.
