large, roundish, usually silky or pubescent on the outside, spreading or re- 
flexed: keel obtuse, cohering with the ale. Stamina variously united, mo- 
nadelphous, or diadelphous, the upper filament sometimes half-united with 
the others. Style filiform. Stigma terminal. Legume generally sessile and 
flatly compressed, linear, many-seeded: valves usually flat. Seeds com- 
pressed.—Shrubs or herbaceous plants, erect, or rarely climbing? Stipules 
free from the petiole, lanceolate or subulate, never sagittate. Leaves un- 
equally pinnated, sometimes reduced to a single leaflet. Racemes terminal, 
axillary, or opposite to the leaves. Flowers white or purplish.
