*** Legume imperfectly divided into two 

 cells, always, as in all the following, without 

 the character of the preceding sections. This 

 is composed of the singular Biserrula, known 

 by its doubly serrated fruit, of which there 

 is only one species; the Phaca, Jacq. Ic. 

 liar. t. 151; and the vast genus of Astra- 

 galus, Engl. Bot. t. 274, &c., lately illus- 

 trated in a splendid work by an able French 

 botanist, Decandolle.

 the curious Sty losant lies of Swartz; the Hallia 

 of Thunberg ; and our own Trifolium, Engl. 

 Bot. t. 1770, 1048—1050, are examples. 

 The last genus, one of the most natural as

 ble with respect to botanical characters. Some 

 species, t. 1047, 1340, 1769, have many 

 seeds in each pod ; some have not even the
