248 LEGUMINOS EK. Douicnos. 
+ + Upper lip of the calyx bifid: vexillum with two callosities above the base of 
" the limb, that are not decurrent along its claw: lower half of the style thin, 
hairy; upper or swollen half and the stigma glabrous : legume oblong, 2- 
seeded, pointed with the long straight base of the style. 
764. (2) D. glutinosus (Roxb.:) annual, twining, covered all over, but 
partieularly the young parts, witli glutinous somewhat harsh short hairs: 
leaflets roundish-ovate, acuminated, the terminal one rhomboid and some- 
times slightly 3-lobed : stipules sessile, ovate, spreading ; partial stipules ca- 
ducous or wanting: racemes peduncled, longer than the leaves, straight, 
many-flowered ; flowers alternate, usually solitary: vexillum sprinkled with 
pu pubescence: legume hairy, oblong-lanceolate, pointed with the 
ong base of the style, 2-seeded.— Roxb.! hort. Bengh. p. 55; fl. Ind. 3.

Roxburgh describes and figures subulate partial stipules ; if ever present, 
they must be very caducous, as there is not a trace of them on any of the 
specimens before us. The vexillum is yellow on both sides, striated on the 
outer with darker coloured veins. 
765. (3) D. tomentosus (Roth :) twining, covered all over with scarcely- 
glutinous very soft pubescence or short villi: leaflets roundish-ovate, acumi- 
nated, the terminal one broadly rhomboid : stipules sessile, oblong-lanceo- 
late ; partial ones somewhat persistent, setaceous : racemes peduncled, elon- 
gated, much longer than the leaves, many-flowered : flowers alternate, usual- 
ly solitary: vexillum densely elothéd with adpressed silky hairs: legume 
oblong, somewhat scimitar-shaped, softly hairy, 2-seeded, pointed with the 
long straight base of the style.— Roth, nov. sp. p. 945 ; DC. prod. 2. p. 4015 
Spr..syst. 3. p. 251 ; Wight ! cat. n. 1152. 
Perhaps too closely allied to Ð. glutinosus ; but the pubescence appears 
qu different: the vexillum in the dried plant is dark purple on the inside. 
th's description agrees in every point except the erect stem, a character 
which he might have inferred from imperfect specimens.

766. (4) D. uniflorus (Lam.:) annual: stem erect ; branches twining, 
young shoots and leaves covered with long soft silky hairs: leaflets ovate, 
when old pubescent : stipules oblong: flowers axillary, 1-3 together, some- 
times on a very short common peduncle : calyx villous; segments long, Su- 
bulate, upper lip split at the apex: vexillum obovate-oblong ; keel straight-

_ D. biflorus seems to have been taken up by Linneeus from a bad descrip- 
tion made by Royen from a cultivated plant: that it is the same as the pre- 
sent species is very probable, but Linnæus himself did not refer to the above.

ing from Linneeus’ short character of his D. pubescens, it appears also to be. 
the same with ours, but we hesitate in consequence of its being said, perhaps 
erroneously, to be a native of South America.—Roxburgh states that it 1$.
