758. (13) P. radiatus (Linn.:) stems diffuse, flexuose, and with the pe- 
tioles and peduncles very hairy, the hairs long and pointing downwards: 
leaflets hairy ; lateral ones obliquely ovate, pointed ; terminal one rhomboid 
oblong, the angle on each side rounded and resembling a small lobe: stipules 
oblong-lanceolate, pointed, attached below their middle: peduncles about 
the length of the petioles: bracteoles oblong-lanceolate, acuminated, twice 
as long as the calyx: flowers somewhat capitate: keel twisted to the left, 
without any conspicuous horn near its base: legume very hairy, cylindrical 
(about 2 inches long and 2 lines broad), 6-8-seeded, spreading.— Linn. sp.

We have not examined the Linnzan specimen; but as he appears to have 
taken up this species, in the Hort. Ups., from a cultivated plant, and as our 
specimens agree remarkably well with Dillenius’ figure, obtained likewise 
from a cultivated plant, referred to by Linneeus, and therefore probably the 
same with his own, we have no hesitation in considering ours to be the true 
one. We place no dependence on the stems being described erect, as in this 
genus Linnæus merely uses that term in opposition to twining. The syno- 
nym of Rumphius Amb. 5. (not 6.) t. 139. f. 2, referred to by Willdenow, 
bears no resemblance to our plant. 
759. (14) P. Rowburghii (W. & A.:) annual, diffuse, somewhat flexuose, 
hairy: leaflets ovate, acuminated, slightly repand but not lobed: stipules 
oblong-lanceolate, attached below their middle: peduncles erect, shorter 
than the petioles, or equal to them when in fruit: flowers somewhat capi- 
tate: keel twisted to the left, with a very long horn near the base on the left 
side : legumes very hairy, cylindrical (about 14 inch long and 2 lines broad), 
few- (4-6-) seeded, nearly erect: seeds smooth, somewhat truncated at bo 
ends.—Wight! cat. n. 994.—P. radiatus, Roxb. fl. Ind. 3. p. 296; Wall. L.

Perhaps this, with all the preceding of the section, may be referable to one 
species: we have only retained them in deference to other botanists. 
760. (15) P. trilobus (Ait.:) herbaceous, procumbent, diffuse : petioles 
elongated : leaflets several times shorter than the petioles, roundish and en- 
tire, or 3-lobed ; middle lobe cuneate-ovate or obovate, narrowed tow 
the base : stipules oblong-lanceolate, attached below their middle: peduncles 
elongated, ascending: flowers few, small, somewhat capitate: legume cylin- 
drieal, glabrous or slightly hairy.— Ro/A, cat. Bot. 2. p. 86 ; nov. sp. P- 34;

We have not seen the ripe fruit or the seed, in which better characters 
inay be looked for than we have been able to give, to separate this species 
from P. Wightii, from which it is very dissimilar in general appearance. If 
Plukenet’s t. 214. f. 3, usually quoted under this species, actually belong to it, 
it is very unlike any form of it that we have seen: Roxburgh refers it to Do- 
lichos falcatus, and, like it, it appears to be a twiner ; but Plukenet says ia 
ribus exiguis,” which is quite at variance with that plant. E
