Linn.! amen. 3. p. 19. ; 
We have introduced this although only known hitherto as a Ceylon plant, 
as it is most probably found likewise on the Peninsula. Our character is de- 
rived entirely from the original specimens in Hérmann's herbarium ; we have 
suspicions, however, that the legumes may be sometimes more pubescent, 
and the leaves more silky beneath, when T. biflora, DC., or Galega biflora, 
Poir., might be referred to it. 
658. (7) T. Hookeriana (W. & A.:) shrubby, diffuse ; branches, petioles, 
and peduncles tomentose : leaves pinnated ; leaflets 5-7 pairs, from oval to 
oblong-obovate ; upper side softly pubescent; under strongly marked with 
veins, clothed with silvery hairs: stipules short-lanceolate, erect: racemes 
terminal, elongated, interrupted, many-flowered: flowers fascicled, nearly 
sessile: calyx covered with short white tomentum, campanulate, 5-cleft: 
segments lanceolate-subulate, the length of the tube : vexillum silky : legumes 
linear, nearly straight, drooping, softly and densely pubescent, acuminated 
at the point.— Wight! cat. n. 884.—T. Colutea, Wight! in Wall.! L. n. 5647 
(not DC.)——Trichinopoly. 
659. (8) T. incana (Graham :) shrubby, diffuse, every where except the 
upper surface of the leaves tomentose or woolly: leaves pinnated ; leaflets 
about 6 pair, obovate, retuse ; upper side pubescent or silky, under woolly: 
stipules lanceolate, reflexed: racemes terminal, elongated, interrupted, many- 
flowered : flowers fascicled, almost sessile: calyx villous, with long fulvous 
hairs ; segments subulate, several times longer has the tube: vexillum silky: 
legumes deflexed and faleately curved upwards, obtuse, densely fulvous- 
woolly, 6-8-seeded.— Graham ! in Wall.! L. n. 5644; Wight ! cat. n. 938.—

Our specimens agree with Roxburgh’s figure and description, and hence 
we have adopted the specific name incana. This seems, however, to be also 
Galega colutea of Willdenow, but he does not appear to have seen the le- 
gumes, that part of his character being derived from Burmann, whose descrip- 
tion again is obviously taken up, not from specimens, but from Plukenets 
figure, which belongs to Indigofera viscosa. Teph. Colutea of Persoon, De 
Candolle, and Sprengel, has been adopted entirely from Willdenow, 80 that 
the erroneous description of the legume is found in all these authors. 
660. (9) T. argentea (Pers:) shrubby, diffuse and almost prostrate, stems 
and branches clothed with white dations hairs: leaves pinriated ; leaflets 
6-8 pair, cuneate-oblong, obtuse. or retuse ; upper side scarcely pubescent ; 
under white with long adpressed silky hairs, inconspicuously marked with 
veins: stipules lanceolate-subulate, patent or reflexed, rigid: racemes termi- 
nal, interrupted, many-flowered: flowers fascicled, shortly pedicelled: calyx 
white-villous, deeply 5-cleft ; segments subulate, 2-3 times longer than the 
tube, lower one the longest: legume drooping and curved upwards, linear, 
obtuse, white-woolly, about 6-seeded.— Pers. syn. 2. p. 329 ; DC. prod. 2.

661. (10) T. villosa (Pers.:) shrubby, diffuse, flexuose: branches, petioles, 
and peduncles, hoary with silky pubescence, or sometimes slightly tomentose- 
leaves pinnated ; leaflets 6-8 pair, narrow cuneate, obtuse or retuse 5 upper 
side nearly glabrous; under strongly striated with veins, more or less C07 
prossly akea with short adpressed silvery silky hairs: stipules lanceo-

flowered : flowers fascicled, almost sessile : calyx villous, deeply cleft; 5°”
