This plant is probably' of var. /3. galegoides Lcdcb. Fl. 

 Ross. I. 716 (/5. Horibus violascentibus = S. galegoides Pall.) ; 

 though the color of flowers is not distinct in dried specimens.

Moore described the flowering specimen of this species, but 

 did not see one with mature fruit. My Han-chow specimen well 

 agrees with his description, except that flower being about 2cm. 

 long is in no way smaller than that of Th. fabacea or subequal 

 to it. Both the Han-chow- and Shang-hai specimens, which I 

 saw% have much broader pod than the Loochoo ones examined 

 by Prof. J. Matsumura, and also than Th. fabacea, the pod 

 being 9 mm. in width ; (that of the Loo-choo specim. and of 

 Th. fabacea is 7 mm. across). The seed of the Shang-hai speci- 

 men, I saw, is ver^^ similar to that of the Loo-choo one, and 

 is subovoid, 3.5 mm. long, dark brown.
