14. Crotalaria radiata sp. nov. 



Herba erecta, ramosa, circiter 40 cm alta, onmibiis partibiis leviter 

 pilosis; foliis trifoliolatis, stipulis nullis; foliolis parvis, ellipticis vel 

 obovato-ellipticis, 1 ad 2 cm longis, apice late rotundatis, brevissime 

 apiculatis; racemis axillaribus terminalibusque, circiter 10 cm longis; 

 pedicellis 1.5 cm longis, bibracteolatis ; floribus, ut videtur, flavis; calycis 

 segmentis anguste lanceolatis, 1 cm longis, subaequalibus, persistentibiis, 

 radiatis, corollam aeqiiantibus ; leguminibus junioribus pilosis, anguste 

 oblongis, stipitatis, acuminatis ; seminibus 25 ad 30. 



An annual, erect, much branched herb, at least 40 cm high, all parts 

 sparingly pubescent with scattered, rather soft, whitish hairs, or the 

 mature leaflets glabrous or nearly so. Branches terete, slender, greenish. 

 Leaves trifoliolate, the petiole 1.5 to 2 cm long; stipules none; leaflets 

 elliptic to obovate-elliptic, membranaceous, 1 to 2 cm long, about 1 cm 

 wide, all very shortly petiolulate, the base broadly cuneate, the apex 

 rounded^ \ery shortly apiculate, when young with scattered hairs on 

 both surfaces, when mature glabrous on the upper surface. Eacemes 

 terminal and axillary, about 10 cm long; pedicels slender, 1.5 cm long, 

 each with two setaceous stipules below the middle 4 to 5 mm in length. 

 Calyx cleft nearly to the base into five narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, 

 subequal segments, about 10 mm long, 2.5 mm wide, which are persistent 

 in fruit, slightly accrescent, and radiately disposed, becoming ultimately 

 quite free. Corolla apparently yellow, as long as the calyx-segments. 

 Ovary pubescent. Young pods narrowly oblong, 1.5 cm long, pilose, 

 stipitate, the apex long and slenderly acuminate, straight or somewhat 

 curved, each containing from 25 to 30 seeds. Mature pods unknown.
