due east, empties itself into the northern end of Lake 

 Winnipeg. 



It is an unpretending, hardy, herbaceous plant, growing 

 freely in peat, among other plants, and flowering in June. 



Its fruit is not certainly known. We suspect it to be 

 of the same nature as that of Astragalus caryocarpus, 

 figured at fol. 176 of this work; at least there is in 

 Mr. Douglas's collection a fruit of such a kind, which does 

 not appear to belong to any other of his species. 



Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticul- 

 tural Society. 



Prostrate, with a slight hairiness upon every part. 

 Leaves ascending; leaflets in 10 or 12 pairs, oblong, obtuse; 

 stipules membranous, triangular. Peduncles ascending, 

 racemose at the extremity, many-flowered. Bractece ovate, 

 acuminate, scarious. Calyjc pedicellate, tubular, 5-toothed, 

 covered with a few black hairs. Flowers purplish. Veiil- 

 lum oblong.
