 lets 2 — 3 lines long, completely obcoidate, on very short partial peti- 

 oles. Peduncles robust^bearing at their sunnnit 8 — 12 flowers. Bracteas 

 subulate, scarcely longer than the partial peduncle. Cali/x a little hairy, 

 segments long, subulate. Corolla white. 



This remarkable species was sent to me from St. Marys' by the late 



Dr. Baldwin as the A glaber of Michaux. From the specimen the 



corolla appears to have been white^ the Legume I have not seen. 



Grows ill the Southern Districts of Georgia near St. Mary's.
