G01 



it became evident that the rounded form is most common in the 

 northern locality, and that the leaf assumes the flattened shape 

 as the species comes south-easterly. Or comparing it with climatic 

 conditions, the rounded leaf is general in the hotter part and the 

 flat leaf in the cooler, though I can only speak of the country 

 now being described. The pods and yellow flowers are the same 

 throughout.
