284 DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. CarpopOffOll. 



one-seeded, and armed with very stiff ferruginous burning 

 hairs. 



Telirif). Pedda, or Enooga doola-gwnda, which means the 

 larger or Elephant's scratch icort. 



This species is perennial, and as large as any of the twin- 

 ing Dolichoses I know. It is a native of hedges, and thickets, 

 on the banks of rivers, and water courses. Flowers during" 

 the cold season. Seeds ripen in April. 



Stem woody, perennial, twining, branchy; young shoots 

 covered with brown down. Leaves ternate. Leaflets ovate, 

 acute, downy on the under side ; when young they are cover- 

 ed with much rust-coloured down ; about three inches and a 

 half long and two broad. Stipules of the petioles lanceolate, 

 hairy, falling, those of the leaflets subulate. Umbels axillary, 

 short-peduncled, drooping from the weight of the flawers, 

 Bractes and flowers as in C. pruriens. Calyx covered with 

 burning hairs, unequally five-toothed, the undermost long 

 and pointed, the rest scarcely appear above the margins of 

 the cup. Coral, stamens and pistil as in C. pruriens. Le- 

 gume semi-oval, deeply grooved on the back, as in Lathy- 

 rus saiivus, very much wrinkled, pointed, about three inches 

 long and two broad, covered with much, exceedingly stiff, 

 brown hair, which produces a greater degree of pain and itch- 

 ing than that of C pruriens. ^eec? solitary, kidney-formed, 

 of the size of the first joint of the thumb, the convex side is 

 entirely surrounded with the hilum. 



I know of no use any part of this plant is put to. Cattle do 

 not eat it. 



3. C. capitatum. R, 



Annual, twining. Heads axillary, sub-sessile. Legumes 

 armed with soft, velvet-like down. 



Teling. Soorootoo. 



This 1 have only found in a cultivated state, and that du- 

 ring the cold season, in the gardens of the natives. It is^an 

 annual.
