^^^^^^^'^■1 XL. LEGUMINOS^. 353 



D BEEViFOLiiE. Shrubs, never spinescent. Pliyllodia eitlier broad, ovate 

 or falcate, or narrow-oblong or linear, short, mostly under 1 in. long, obtuse 

 or with a small recurved innocuous point, or sometimes undulate and more 

 pointed. Stipules minute or none. Peduncles 1-heailed. 



These species pass into the Triatiffuhres through A. obliqna, into the short-leaved Ca- 

 lamjomes through A. lineafa, and some forms of A. dura ; aud the shorter-leaved forms of 

 A.montana and some others of the Angnstifolice, might almost be included in the present 

 suDsenes. A. anceps is very variable iu the form of its phyllodia, and they are usually 

 arger than in other BrevlfolicB, but ou the whole, it appears to be better placed here than 

 •n any other subseries of Uninerves.

 much-branched shrub, attaining sometimes several ft., glabrous or slightly 

 pubescent. ^ Phyllodia obliquely obovate or orbicular, from i to nearly a in. 

 ong, the priiicipal nerve scarcely prominent, near the lower margin, and ter- 

 jniiiating in a minute recurved point, with often 1 or 2 fainter nerves diverging 

 om the base. Stipules minute. Peduncles slender, solitary or in pairs, 

 usually exceeding the phyllodia, bearing each a globular head of about 8 to 

 , """^ers, mostly 5-merous. Sepals distinct, linear-spathulate, fully half as 

 ong as the corolla. Petals smooth. Pod linear, twisted, H to 2 lines 

 woad with coriaceous valves. Seeds ovate, longitudinal ; funicle not folded, 

 areely so long as the seed, gradually thickened almost from the base into a 

 _ ciavate fleshy aril.— ^. cyclophylla, Schlecht. in Linntea, xx. 663 ; J. rotun-
