^- C, glycinoides, DC, Si/st, Veg, i 145. A woody climber, very 

 near lo those forms of C. aristala which have simply ter/iate rather large 

 ovate-lanceolate or cordate leaflets, but these leaflets are usually of a thinner 

 consistence, often broader, and quite entire or rarely with a single tooth near 

 the base. Flowers usually smaller, tlie sepals narrow, from \ to f in., pubes- 

 cent or rarely glabrous. Anthers rather shorter, wdth a very short obtuse 

 and almost gland-like appendage. Achenes glabrous or pubescent, usually 

 narrower than in a arhtata, with tails of about 2 m.— Cdeiiosepala, PC.

, *• ^- microphylla, DO. 8yd. Veg. i. 147. A tall woody climber, with 

 Jne habit of the smaller-leaved varieties of C. arislata. Leaflets mostly 

 twice ternate, narrow, from ovate-lanceolate or oblong to nearly linear, 

 a to 1 ill, lojjg^ ij^t sometimes simply ternate and larger and broader, 

 ^r three times ternate and much smaller. Plovers rather smaller than in

 oblong-lanceolate to narrow^inear, mostly about \ in. rarely near 1 in.
