Spee. Char., §c, Leaves with 4 or 5 pairs of oblong-lanceolate lanuginously 
ciliated leaflets. Stipules setaceous. Petioles somewhat spinose; adult 
ones deflexed, filiform, permanent. Pedicels solitary, very short. Legume 
glabrous. Flowers few and white, suffused with red. (Don’s Mill., ii, p. 244.) 
A low shrub, seldom exceeding 18 in. in height, of a curious shaggy ap- 
pearance, occasioned by the footstalks of the leaves being bristly or thorny, 
and remaining on long after the leaflets have dropped off. It is a native of 
Siberia, near Lake Baikal; and was introduced into England, by Mr. 
Busch, in 1796. It produces its white flowers, tinged with red, in April 
and May, and is increased by grafting on Caragdna arboréscens. When 
grafted standard high, it forms a very singular-looking object.

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves with 2 pairs of oblong-cuneated approximate leaflets, 
near the tip of the petiole, which is very short. Stipules and petioles 
spinose. Pedicels solitary, almost the length of the calyx, which is gibbose 
at the base. Legume terete, acute, brown, glabrous. Flowers 1 in. long, 
yellow. (Don's Mill. ii. p. 243.) A shrub, a native of Georgia, near 
Teflis, producing yellow flowers, which are 1 in. long in June and July. It 
was introduced in 1823, and is in the Horticultural Society’s Garden.

“Spec. Char., $c. Leaves with 2 pairs 
of distant, oval, or obovate, glabrous 
leaflets. Stipules spreading, and, as 
well as the petioles, spinose. Pedicels 
solitary. Flowers pendulous, large, 
and yellow, at length becoming red- 
dish. Root smelling like liquorice. 
(Don’s Miil., ii. p. 243.) A diffuse 
smooth shrub, a native of China, grow- 
ing to the height of 4:ft., with a thick 
root and branching stem, with grey 
- bark. The branches are alternate; 
at first upright, and then decumbent. 
The whole plant has a singular appear- 
ance, more especially when just going 
out of flower. It was introduced in 1773, and is not uncommon in col- 
lections. It is generally propagated by separating the offsets, or by seeds, 
or it may be grafted on C. arboréscens. Grafted on this species, especially 
when the stock is 10 ft. or 12 ft. high, it forms a singularly picturesque 
pendulous tree; beautiful not only when it is in leaf or in flower, but 
from the graceful lines formed by its branches, even in the midst of winter, 
when they are completely stripped of their leaves. Plants, in the London 
nurseries, are from Is. 6d. to 2s. 6d. each, and grafted standard high, 
7s. 6d.; at Bollwyller, 1 franc; and at New York, | dollar.
