App. I. Hardy suffruticose Species of Hedysaree.

very handsome when in flower, and extremely useful in the deserts of Siberia, in fixing the sand.

App. II. Halfhardy ligneous Species of Hedysaree. 
The half-hardy species of 352 
this tribe are numerous; but, 
as most of them will live ina 
cold-pit, or even in the open 
garden, in the warmest parts 
of the south of England, we 
consider it advisable to notice 
at least one species of each 
genus. 
Hippocrépis baletrica Jacq. 
(Bot. Mag., t. 427., and our 
Jigs. 351, 352.) is a native of 
Minorca, with the general ap- 
pearance of Coronilla. It has 
been in the country since 1776, 
flowering in green-houses, and 
cold-pits, from May to July.

figs. 353, 354.) is a dichotomous plant, resembling ,j 43 
furze, a native of Valparaiso, introduced in 1776, a z 
quite hardy, and flowering throughout the sum- ¢ 
mer,

figs. 355, 356.) is a native of Valparaiso, where it 
grows to the height of 2 ft., with upright branches, 
which are copiously clad with hoary, pinnate, very 
silky leaves. It was introduced in 1852, and is 
nearly hardy. 
A. viscosa Gill. et Hook. (Swt. Fl. Gard., 2d ser. 
t, 230., and our fig. 357.) is a native of Chili, with 
clammy leaves and shoots; introduced in 1832, 
and producing its yellow flowers in August. It 
forms a very handsome shrub, of upright growth, 
with elegant leaves, having sometimes as many as 
14 pairs of crenated leaflets. It appears to be as 
hardy as EdwArdséa microphflla, or more so; for a plant in the Exotic Nursery, King’s Road, has 
stood out against a wall with a western exposure, and attained the height of 10 ft. 
A. uspallaténsis Gill.(Sw. Brit. Fl. Gard., 2d ser. t. 222., is a slender, thorny, diminutive shrub, a

Hamiit., is a native of Nepal, where it grows to a tree 12 ft. in height.

bably be found half-hardy. The only ligneous species which is already introduced is D. relusum
