truncated and slightly split at the apex, and the lower ovate ; and by the vexil- 
lum oblong and scarcely longer than the calyx. In both the peduncles are 
glabrous, or with one or two scattered bristles, and the leaflets-have bristles 
along the midrib beneath. 
_ 684. (2) S. racemosa (Heyne :) leaflets cuneate-oblong, retuse, bristly on 
the margin and slightly so on the midrib beneath: flowers forming a pedun- 
cled short raceme: peduncles longer than tħe leaves, and with the pedicels 
and calyx glandular and hairy: upper lip’ of the calyx broad, truncated, 
slightly emarginate ; lower shortly 3-cleft: legume about 4-jointed, slightly 
warted.—Heyne ! in Wall.! L. n. 5670. 
S. blanda, Wall.! L. n. 5669, has also glandular and hairy racemes, the up- 
per lip of the calyx broad, truncated and emarginate, and the lower 3-lobed : 
but the cuneate-oblong leaflets do not appear to have any bristles on the mid- 
rib; the racemes are, comparatively speaking; elongated, the flowers much 
larger, the calyx more hairy, and the joints of the legume with one or two 
elevated reticulating veins, but without any tubercles or warts. 
XXIX. LOUREA. Neck: 
Calyx campanulate, reticulately veined, persistent, equally 5-cleft, scariose 
and inflated when in fruit. Corolla papilionaceous : vexillum obcordate ; 
keel obtuse. Stamens diadelphous (9 and 1). Legume composed of 4-6 
joints, folded up within the calyx, exceedingly contracted between the joints : 
joints l-seeded, between orbicular and semiorbicular.—Herbaceous, erect. 
Stipules setaceous. Leaves trifoliolate, or simple from the abortion of the 
lateral ones, Racemes terminal. 
* 685. (1) L. Vespertilionis (Desv. :) lateral leaflets none, or small, oblique- 
ly cuneate at the base nd truncated at the apex; terminal one transverse, 
about 10 times broader than long, tipped with a spiny bristle, 2-lobed ; lobes 
divaricating, oblong-lanceolate, faleately recurved obtuse.— Desv. Journ. Bot.

XXX. URARIA, Desv.—Doodia, Roxb. 
Calyx hairy, not becoming inflated when in fruit, deeply 2-lipped ; upper 
lip bifid, lower 3-partite. Corolla papilionaceous. Stamens diadelphous 
(9 and 1) : filaments somewhat persistent. Style thickened towards the apex. 
Legume 2-6-jointed ; joints slenderly connected, and folded up, sometimes 
m maturity slightly unfolding.—Perennial, often shrubby plants : young parts 
airy. Leaves simple, or trifoliolate, or pinnated: leaflets with two partial 
stipules. Stipules lanceolate, acuminated, scariose, striated; upper ones very 
caducous, covering the flowers in place of bracteas. Racemes terminal, sim- 
Ple, many-flowered : pedicels in pairs from each bractea. 
The — character giyen by De Candolle is by no means applicable to all the 
Species T 
rought by him under it. 
688. (1) U. picta (Desv. : shrubby, erect, young parts clothed with hook- 
ed hairs : leaves dra and xen ; simple ones oblong-ovate ; leaflets of the 
compound ones 2—4-pair, linear-lanceolate, obtuse, upper side clouded, under 
à little reticulated and pubescent : racemes terminal, very long, spike-like, ri- 
Ed: bracteas below the raceme persistent, ovate-lanceolate, acuminated, ri- 
Bid: pedicels covered with short hooked hairs, much incurved at the apex 
after flowering : ealyx-segments bearded with long hairs, lanceolate-setace~
