384 Mr. Kiprist on Jansonia, a new Genus of Leguminose, 
rior, and adhering slightly to each other and to the tube of the calyx, while — 
the remaining ones are perfectly free. 
_I shall now proceed to give the essential characters of the genus, which I 
propose to dedicate to the memory of my lamented friend Joseph Janson, Esq, 
F.L.S., whose ardent attachment to the study of natural history (which formed’ 
'a principal relaxation of his leisure hours), and whose constant exertions to 
infuse a taste for it in others, eminently entitle him to such a distinction ; 
while his entire devotion to the interests of the Linnean Society, and the zeal 
and liberality which he ever evinced in promoting its objects, give him an 
especial claim to be commemorated in its publications.
