PsEUDARTHRIA. LEGUMINOS XE. ` 209 
Roxburgh describes and figures this diadelphous: we have uniformly found 
it monadelphous, and almost always with five of the anthers represented by 
mere glands. ** Wings projecting, horizontal, hiding the keel, which makes 
the flowers appear two-lipped rather than papilionaceous.”—Roxs. 
,650. (2) G. mollis (W. & A.:) stems clothed with long hairs: leaflets 
broadly ovate or elliptical, thin; upper side sprinkled with longish, under 
with short adpressed hairs: calyx about the length of the corolla, very hairy ; 
hairs on the tube patent, on the segments erect : legumes with short ad- 
pressed pubescence, long-pointed.—Wight ! cat. n. 876.—G. parviflora, var:

XIX. PSEUDARTHRIA. W.& A. 
Calyx obscurely 2-lipped to about the middle: upper lip bifid: lower 3- 
partite, the middle segment the longest. Corolla papilionaceous : petals near- 
ly equal in length; vexillum roundish; keel obtuse. Stamens diadelphous 
(9and 1). Ovarium hairy ; ovules several, attached by longish podosperms. 
Style filiform, shortish. Stigma capitate. Legume continuous, 1-celled, 
membranaceous, transversely reticulated with veins, covered with hooked 
hairs, flat, linear, roundish at the apex with a short point about its middle. 
Seeds alternate, compressed, somewhat reniform.—Diffuse or erect perennial - 
plants, with the habit of Desmodium. Leaves pinnately trifoliolate: leaflets 
when young, very villous on the under side, with two subulate partial stipules 
on the petioles a little below their base. Stipules lanceolate-subulate, sca- 
riose, striated. Racemes axillary or terminal, simple of branched. Flowers 
purple, in threes from each bractea (the middle one usually abortive), on 
longish pedicels, jointed close under the calyx with the pedicel, and easily 
breaking off from it. 
Of this genus we have received another species from our friend Dr Hooker, mark- 
ed as cultivated in the Mauritius, from Zanzebar. In it, which we propose to name 
- Hookeri, the stem appears erect; the lateral leaflets are rg tree terminal one 
oblong-ovate ; all hispid. on the upper side, and densely villous on the urider ; the ra- 
cemes are short; bracteas lanceolate-subulate like the stipules; and legumes 6-8- 
Seeded, and about 8 times longer than broad: From the mere glance we had of 
ia pilosa, Wall. L. n. 5499, it likewise appears to be a congener. 
651. (1) P. viscida (W. & A.:) diffuse, prostrate ; lateral leaflets obliquely 
ovate, terminal one rhomboid-ovate, pubescent on the upper surface, when 
old shortly villous on the under: racemes filiform, elongated : bracteas subu- 
late: legumes 3-4-seeded, 3-4 times longer than broad.— Wight! cat. n. 829.
