A. F. conjesta. lioxb. 



Shrubby, sub-erect. Leaflets broad lanceolate. Racemes 

 axillary, sub sessile, heaped. 



Beng. and Hind. Bjna sal pan. 



This species is a native of the Delta of the Ganges. Flow-

 months afterwards. 



Stems several, oblique, woody ; young parts villous. 

 Branches few, general height of the whole plant from three 

 to six feet. Leaves ternate. Leaflets short-petioled, three- 

 nerved, entire, pretty smooth above, villous underneath, the 

 terminal one broad-lanceolate; the lateral ones of nearly the 

 same size, and shape, but broader at the base and less dis- 

 tinctly marked with the three nerves, about six or eight inches 

 long. Petioles nearly round, and villous. Stipules rather 

 short, tapering from a broad base to a fine point. Racemes 

 axillary, generally crowded, about as long as the petioles. 

 Bractes shorter than the calyx, one-flowered, caducous. 

 Flowers very numerous, and beautifully striated with orange 

 and purple. Leg?ime the length of the lower division of the 

 calyx, sub-reniform, one-jointed, two-seeded. 



This species has much the habit of my F. stricta, but dif-
