oblong or obovate, in small specimens sometimes entire, but 
usually pinnatifid with a very large terminal lobe and 1 or 2

The fully developed state of this plant is well marked by the peculiarly 
lobed leaves, large flowers, and spreading pods with long slender styles. But 
small varieties, with the leaves entire or nearly so, show a tendency to ap- 
proach C. depressa. 
4. C. stylosa, D.C. Syst. Veg. ii. 248.—A tall rather coarse 
perfectly glabrous leafy branching herb 2-3 ft. high; erect or 
decumbent. Leaves 3-din. long, oblong-lanceolate or oblong- 
spathulate, entire or more usually minutely and remotely sinuate- 
toothed, sometimes lobed or pinnatifid at the base; uppermost 
sessile, auricled at the base; lower on long petioles. Racemes 
very long, 1-2 ft. Pedicels stout, short, spreading. Flowers small, 
white. Pods horizontally spreading, 1-1din. iong, +,in. broad; 
style stout. Seeds red-brown, with a reticulate testa.—Hook. f.

Readily known by its large size and branched leafy habit. long racemes, and 
horizontally spreading pods and pitted seeds. It is a common Australian 
and Tasmanian plant. 
5. C.fastigiata, Hook. f. Handb. N.Z. Fl. 13.—Rootstock long, 
stout, tapering, often as thick as the finger, bearing at the top a rosette 
of densely crowded radical leaves. Leaves 14-3in. long, linear- 
or lanceolate-spathulate, acute, sharply and deeply inciso-serrate, 
gradually narrowed into a broad flat petiole, thick and coriaceous, 
glabrous or with a few weak hairs on the margins. Cauline leaves 
similar, but smaller and less toothed. Flowering-stems usually 
several springing from the top of the rootstock among the radical 
leaves, simple or branched, 6-18 in. high. Flowers numerous, 
white, corymbose, about $in. diam. Petals iin. long, spathulate, 
on long claws. Pods erect or nearly so, straight or curved, acute 
at both ends, narrow-linear, 1-2in. long, +,—;,in. broad. Seeds
