Tacan. LEGUMINOSÆ. 293 
The peculiar gland and structure of the flower have induced us to unite 
these several numbers of Dr Wight’s catalogue, and similar specimens have 
been already united by Dr Wallich: but there is as great a diversity of ha- 
bit between them as between C. angustissima and C. Wallichiana. N. 638 
and 640, and Wallich’s n. 6327. b, d, correspond best with Roxburgh’s draw- 
ing and description, and Plukenet’s figure. The leaflets vary from much 
less than a line to a line and a half in breadth, and from 2 to 4 lines in 
length: the pedicels almost never exceed 3, or at most 4, lines. The Hin- 
doos use the seed for their horses. 
905. (21) C. Kieinii (W. & A.:) suffruticose, diffuse, procumbent; branches 
pubescent: leaflets 3-15 pair, with a stalked peltate small gland below the 
lowest pair, linear-oblong, unequal sided and somewhat falcate, mucronate, 
slightly pubescent : rachis not margined: stipules subulate: flowers supra- 
axillary, 1-2 together ; pedicels a little shorter than the leaves: stamens 10, 
alternately shorter: legumes flat or more or less pubescent.—Wight ! cat. n.

In the Peninsular specimens, the ovary is glabrous on the sides and villous 
on the sutures, and consequently the legume only pubescent on the margin: 
but we have before us undoubtedly the same species from Ceylon with the — 1 
ovary all over villous. We are much inclined to refer De Candolle's C. mi- 
musoides (not of Linn.) here, on the supposition that the term erect was bor- — 
rowed from Linnæus, and that it is by an error of the press that the pedicels 
are said to be much shorter (instead of longer) than the petiole. This cannot 
be C. dimidiata, Don’s prod., or Senna dimidiata of Roxb., in which there is 
a flat gland on the petiole, about 30 pair of leaflets, and only 4-5 stamens : 
nor is De Candolle correct in referring that plant to C. Wallichiana : it is 
however more probable that it and C. Leschenaultiana, DC., are the same.

Calyx ebracteolate: tube very short: limb 4-partite, deciduous ; the seg- 
ments reflexed, upper one broadish, 2-nerved. Petals 5, oblong, lanceolate, 
equal. Stamens 10 or numerouáé, distinct, inserted with the petals into a 
short glandular ring lining the calyx-tube. Ovary nearly sessile, about 2- 
ovuled. Style erect. Stigma capitate. Legume nearly half-orbicular, thick, 
tumid, fleshy, scarcely dehiscent, 1-celled, 1-seeded. Seed filling up the 
cavity, attached to the middle of the suture. Embryo straight: cotyledons 
thick, roundish-cordate.—Trees. Leaves composed of 2-6 opposite leaflets. 
Flowers reddish, springing from the trunk or branches. res
