Tinder the flower. Sepals very short and orbicular. Petals attaining about 

 4 lines, broad and imbricate, glabrous outside, pubescent inside,^ apparently 

 pink. Filaments glabrous, the larger ones opposite the sepals, thickened and 

 much incurved at the top, with large ovoid black anthers, the smaller ones 

 with small yellow anthers. Ovary ciliate-hirsutC; with a thick conical decidu-

20. B. elatior, BartL in PL Freiss, I 170. Apparently a tall shrub, 

 the branches hirsute with long spreading hairs. Leaves pinnate; leaflets 5 

 to 13 or more, linear, flat, rather rigid, often I in. long or even more, gla- 

 brous or hirsute, the pairs rather distant with the rhachis often dilated between 

 them. Peduncles axillaiy, often as long as the common petiole. Sepals 

 broad, mucronate, usually ciliate and often coloured. Petals attaining 3 to 4 

 lines, usually mucronate, glabrous or slightly pubescent, much imbricate. T'ila- 

 ments slightly ciliate, 4 0})posite the sepals, tliick, attenuate at the top, with 

 large black anthers, 4 opposite the petals incurved at the top, wnth minute 

 yellowish anthers close under the stigma. Ovary hirsute with a veiy large 

 glabrous, thick, obtusely pyramichal stigma, 4-lobed at the base. Seeds 

 smooth and shining. — B. semi/ertUUy I\ MaelL Fragm, ii. 98.

B, psoraleoidesy DC, Prod. i. 721, from the S. coast, is unknown to me ; it is dcsrribod 

 as having pinnate leaves, with 3 or 5 linear oMusc leaflets, glahrons and glandular-dotled 

 as well as the branches ; peduudes short, 1-Ilowered; flowers small, pale, tetraiidrous. It 

 would therefore ranic among the Heterandr<B, which however have usually rather large flowers. 



21. B. tetrandra, Labill Fl. Nov.' IIoll. \. 98, L 125. An erect 



much-branched shrub, tlie branches more or less hirsute with spreading hairs. 

 Leaves pinnate; leaflets usually 7 to 13, linear, obtuse, the largest rarely 

 above 4 lines long, the upper ones of each leaf usually gradually shorter, all 

 flat or the margins slightly recurved, glabrous or slightly hirsute, the pairs 

 rather distant. Peduncles axillary, l-flowered, very short. Sepals broadly 

 ovate. Petala attaining 3 or 4 lines, glabrous, imbricate. Fihunents slightly 

 ciliate, 4 opposite the petals short, thick, with perfect anthers, shortly apicu- 

 late, 4 opposite the sepals longer and more slender, inflected at the top, with 

 minute apparently imperfect antbers. Disk with 4 lobes inside the sepaline 

 stamens, almost as in Zierla, Ovary small, glabrous; stigma very large and 

 thick, truncate at the top witli 4 very prominent almost winged lateral 

 lobes.— B. bicolor, Turcz. in Bull. Mosc. 1852, ii. 163.

22. B. crassifolia, Bartl. in FL Freiss. I 169. A dwarf much- 

 branched shnib or undershmb, not exceeding 8 in. in any of our specimens, 

 glabrous or minutely pubescent. Leaves pinnate ; leaflets 3, 5, or 7, on a 

 short common petiole, linear-cuneate or oblong-linear, very obtuse, rarely i iu. 

 long and often much smaller, rather thick and coriaceous. Peduncles axil-
