 September, 1911. 



A small glandular undershrub, witli its l)i'anclies rising erect 

 from horizontal rhizomes or branches to a height of 14 cm. over all. 

 In Tephrosia the glandular character is not observed, the leaves are 

 generally pinnate, the standard tomentose, and style flattened; 

 the pod also is seldom ovate, but flat and dehiscent, and contains 

 usually more than two seeds. While tliis number of seeds is an 

 exceptional minimum in Tephrosia, it is rare to find more than one 

 in Psoralea. Although there are many differences from either 

 genus in the details of structure of tlie flowers, there are more 

 points of resemblance to Psoralea than to Tephrosia, and the glan- 

 dular character, digitate leaves, and structure of the pod point to 

 the former. If the digitate leaves with three entire leaflets be taken 

 as a guide to its position in the genus, it would be placed in the 

 small group i-epresented by P. adscendens, but its other characters 

 differ widely. The yellowish-green colour of the flowers is not 

 recorded in Australian species of either Psoralea or Tephrosia. The 

 species is apparently related to F. v. Mueller's P. Schultzii, of which 

 only a few (purple) flowers and some leaf fragments exist.
