$ 3. Leaves simple ; racemes terminal or axillary, often with one or two branches ; 
rachis flexuose : partial peduncles very short, with two scariose subulate 
caducous stipules at the base, bearing at their apex floral-leaves and flowers: 
bracteas or floral-leaves solitary, large, reniform, folded, inflated, imbri- 
cated in two opposite rows, persistent, somewhat membranous, pubescent : 
flowers pedicelled, several together at the apex of the peduncle, enclosed 
within the bractea: lower calyx-segments a little longer than the others, 
subulate: legume concealed within the bracteas. 
745. (7) F. strobilifera (Brown :) shrubby erect; branches pubescent to- 
wards the extremities: leaves simple, ovate, sometimes acuminated, blunt- 
pointed, glabrous above, slightly pubescent and copiously dotted with minute 
glands beneath: bracteas acute: legume pubescent.—Br. in. Ait. hort. Kew.

The remainder of the character is the same as that of the section. We 
scarcely know how to distinguish Hedys. bracteatum, Roxb. fl. Ind. 3. p. 351 
(in E. I. C. mus. tab. 1612); the shape of the leaves is too variable to afford a 
sufficient mark ; in the drawing the bracteas are represented perfectly obtuse, 
but as this is not noticed in the description, we cannot place much reliance 
onit. F. fruticulosa, Wall. ! L. n. 5754, and F. abrupta, Wall. ! L. n. 5755, 
are perhaps also forms of our plant; but whether different varieties or dif- 
ferent species, they are mixed indiscriminately under the several letters of 
both numbers. 
XLIII. PHASEOLUS. Linn. ; Lam. ill. t. 610. 
Calyx campanulate 5-toothed, or bilabiate, the upper lip 2-toothed, the 
lower 3-partite. Corolla papilionaceous: keel with the stamens and style 
spirally twisted or circinate. Legume compressed or cylindrical, 2-valved, 
many-seeded, with more or less conspicuous cellular partitions between the 
seeds. Hilum of the seed oval-oblong.—Herbaceous or suffrutescent plants. 
Leaves pinnately trifoliolate ; leaflets with partial stipules. Racemes axillary. 
Pedicels usually in pairs, 1-flowered. Bc

ovate-acuminated qos sessile, recurved: racemes peduncled, cal 
than the leaf; pedicels in pairs: bracteoles patulous: legumes pendulous, 
straightish, slightly torulose, long-mucronate : seed ovate, a little e X 
nearly glabrous: leaflets 
 compressed.— Linn. sp.
