Priate LVI. 
ADENOCARPUS tetonensts, Gay. 
Natural Order Lr@uminos2. 
Gen. Cuar.—“ Calyx persistent, often glandular, bilabiate, upper lip 
bipartite, lower lip longer, trifid, the central lobe longer than the lateral 
lobes. -Petals connate at the base with the filament-tube; keel obtuse, 
covering the stamens and style, limb of keel usually furnished on either 
side with a conical gibbus. Stamens monadelphous, filaments alternately 
longer, anthers of the shorter stamens linear, of the longer ovoid. Pod 
linear, plano-compressed, somewhat thickened, stiff, dilated at apex, glan- 
dulose-tuberculate all over (wndique echinatum). Shrubs with divaricate 
branches and white bark. Leaves trifoliolate, usually having axillary, ru- 
dimentary, leafy branches in the axils. Flowers yellow, usually racemose, 
very seldom capitate. Pedicels furnished with two bracts at the middle 
or below. Seeds blackish, ovate, somewhat compressed, furnished with 
a perisperm ; perisperm rather thick, horny, separable from the thin inte- 
gument (in seminibus maceratis).”” Gay, Adenoc. Monog. MSS. ined.* 
Srrc. Cuar.—Flowers yellow,t capitate, 1-3, terminating the branches; 
bracts often in pairs or threes, ovate-acuminate, ciliate. Calyw hairy, 
not glandular, lower lip as long as keel. Standard covered on the 
back with silky hairs, yellow (yellow mixed with purple-brown, Gayt) ; 
keel without conical bosses on either side. Pod compressed, wavy, ob- 
long, covered with short, clavate, or cylindrical warts. Leaves of 38 
small obovate leaflets, glabrous, or having on either face a few long 
white hairs. Growth shrubby, about 3 feet high, branches complicated, 
somewhat resembling that of the common thorny Cytisus (C. spinosus, 
Lam.).

Haprrat.—Hyeéres, in pine-woods near the town, where I gathered 
it, May 13, 1867. 
Remarxs.—The genus Adenocarpus is easily distinguished from its 
aliies by its tuberculate fruit. The synonymy of the species has, how-

manuscripts of M. J. Gay, which are now in his possession. The above is a transla-

+ Gay, in describing A. telonensis, Gay, from specimens gathered at Hyéres, gives 
the colour of the flowers as yellow, mixed with purple-brown. Boissier also, in his 
coloured figure of this species from Malaga specimens, represents the flowers of a 
dingy brown and yellow. However, I cannot think that when drawing the flowers 
from fresh specimens I could have mistaken the colour.
