is species approaches very closely in character to Flemingia ; so much 
SO, that we had almost united it to that genus: it differs, however, by the 
. habit, the calyx, and the seed: the legume is scarcely inflated, 
XLII. FLEMINGIA. . Roxb. 
Calyx ebraeteolate at the base, acutely 5-cleft ; the four upper segments 
about equal, the lower one usually much longer. Corolla papilionaceous : 
vexillum: without callosities ; the spurs inflexed at the margin: keel falcate. 
Stamens diadelphous (9 and 1). Ovary 2-ovuled. Style glabrous. Legume 
sessile, oval, turgid, 2-seeded, without a partition between the seeds. Seeds 
nearly globose ; hilum small; carunculus inconspicuous or wanting.— 
Shrubby or suffrutescent, Stipules seariose, lanceolate; sometimes very 
large, usually deciduous. Leaves petioled, digitately trifoliolate or simple : 
under side usually dotted with small glands ; the nerves prominent, parallel, 
long and simple. Partial stipules wanting. Racemes axillary, solitary or 
aggregate, sometimes panicled, Flowers several together, Legumes more or | 
less pubescent. 
$1. Leaves digitately trifoliolate : racemes straight, simple : bractea (stipule?) 
lanceolate, solitary to each fascicle of flowers, scariose: flowers densely im- 
bricated before expansion: lower calyx-segment elongated, subulate,—

erect branches ; branches triangular: leaves trifoliolate ; leaflets broadly lan-

numerous and densely pubescent: petiole channelled, with a short margin: 
Stipules large, a little shorter than the petiole, lanceolate-acuminated, con- 
eave, sheathing, deciduous: racemes spiciform, solitary, the length of the 
petioles or sometimes longer, peduncled: braeteas laneeolate-subulate, acu-
