 standard 6-7.5 mm. long; blade broadly obovate or suborbicular: wings about 

 as long as the standard. — Pinelands. 



6. D. intermedius (T. & G.) Vail. Stems tomentose: leaflets 2-5 cm. long; 

 blades suborbicular and often somewhat rhombic, or ovate-orbicular, or those

 several-flowered. Calyx somewhat 2-lipped, the upper lobes partially united. 

 Corolla yellow or mainly so : blade of the standard suborbicular, sharp-auricled 

 at the base: blades of the wings rather prominently, but unequally auricled on 

 each side: blades of the keel-petals broad at the apex. Pod turgid, elongate. 



1. C. Cajan (L.) Millsp. Plants 3-30 dm. tall, velvety-tomentose : leaflets
