Leaves palmately trifoliolate ; leaflets cuneated, and, like the stipules, serrated. Peduncles 1-flow- 
ered, without an awn, and longer than the leaves. A native of rocky places in the Alps of Pro- 
vence, Dauphiné, and Savoy. (Dec. Prod., ii. p.161.) Introduced in 1759; and producing its 
pink flowers in June and July. It rarely exceeds 1 ft. in height.

Spec. Char., &c. A low shrub, with trifoliolate glabrous leaves, and roundish serrated leaflets. Flow- 
ers in pairs, almost sessile, and disposed in a leafless raceme. Calyx villous, and one half shorter 
than the corolla. A native of mountains in Valencia andAragon, and of the Pyrenees in the part 
contiguous to France. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 164.) Introduced in 1816. It grows to the height of from 
1 ft. to 2 ft., and produces its yellow flowers from May to July. 
App. i. Other suffruticose Species of Ononis. 
O. peduncularis Lindl. (Bot. Reg., t. 1446., and our fig. 301.) is a 
small shrub, not more than a foot high, introduced in 1829, from 
Teneriffe, with fragrant white and rose-coloured flowers. It is 
usually kept in a frame. It would do, with a little protection, for 
rockwork. It is in Messrs, Young and Penny’s collection. 
O. crispa L., O. hispdnica, O. vaginalis L., O. arachnoidea La- 
peyr., O. longifolia Willd., O. falcata Willd.,O. ramostssima Desf., 
O. tridentita L., O. angustifolia Lam., and O. fee/tida Schousb., are 
other species of Ondnis varying in height trom | ft. to Sft, and 
usually kept in frames or cold-pits ; but which, if protected in severe 
weather, would be very ornamental for rockwork. Descriptions of 
them will be found in our Hortus Britannicus, and in Don’s Miller. 
Other species of Ondnis marked in catalogues as herbaceous, are 
nearly as suffruticose as those last mentioned ; and, where the object is 
to extend a collection, there are several that may be introduced in 
thearboretum. Indeed it may be safely assumed, that, where several 
species of a genus are ligneous or suffruticose, all the species of that 
genus are more or less so, and may, by culture, be prevented from 
dying down to the ground during winter ; provided that genus has 
been formed on natural principles.

Derivation. From a, privative, and morphé, form ; in reference to the deformity of the corolla, from 
the want of the wings and keel. 
Description. Large deciduous shrubs, natives of North America. Leaves 
impari-pinnate, having many pairs of leaflets that have transparent dots in 
their disks, and, usually, minute stipules at their base. The leaves have de- 
ciduous stipules. The flowers are disposed in lengthened spiked racemes, 
usually grouped at the tips of the branches; of a blue-violet colour. (Dec.
