From this U. crinita, Desv. (with which U. comosa, DC. is identical), may 
be recognised by the pedicels covered with long spreading stiff hairs, and by 
the bracteas at the base of the pedicels being beautifully ciliated with white 
sedes well as by the leaflets being much broader, more acute, and not 
clouded. :

Jomts: stems terete, pubescent: leaves simple and ternate; the terminal 
leaflet much the larger, roundish-ovate, sometimes emarginate at the base, 
obtuse, mucronate, sprinkled with a short scabrous pubescence : racemes ter- 
minal, conical-oblong, dense, very hairy: pedicels shortish, incurved at the 
apex, and with the calyx densely bearded : upper lip of the calyx short, the 
Segments ovate-acuminated ; lower reflexed, the segments elongated and subu- 
late-setaceous : legume 2-jointed ; joints orbicular-ovate, polished.—DC.

U. lagopoides, Wall. L. n. 5676 (or Doodia alopecuroides, Roxb. and Hed: 
alopecuroides, Roxb. in E. I. C. mus. tab. 1615), is, we believe, quite a different 
species, although in character it approaches pretty close to the present. Lin- 
nsus, in the second edition of the Sp. Plantarum, describes the legumes as 
one-seeded, but this he corrected in the twelfth edition of the Systema Na- 
ture, 2. p. 495 ; although, however, the correction has been copied into the 
Systema Veget. p. 562, and into Willd. sp. pl. 3. p. 1204, botanists have to 
his day unnecessarily puzzled themselves by consulting only the original de- 
scription. What is remarkable is, that if he erred at first by making the num- 
ber of seeds too few, in his correction he makes them too many (3-4); NE 
have never found more than two joints.

short hooked hairs : leaves meet and trifoliolate eode elliptic or roundish, 
Sometimes emarginate, glabrous above, softly pubescent beneath: racemes 
axillary and terminal, hispidly hairy, before expansion of the flowers one 
or cone-like and imbricated with bracteas, in fruit becoming much elongate 
and lax ; bracteas caducous, ovate with a long subulate point, hairy ; pedi- 
cels shortly hairy, ineurved at ihe apex : calyx shortly hairy, short, not longer 
than the first Joint of the frait; upper lip 2-toothed ; segments of the lower
