Frutex erectus, foliis unifoliolatis ovalibus mucronulatis utrinque 
ramulis calycibusque pube sericea ferruginea velutinis, petiolis 
infra apicem geniculatis, stipulis subulatis, floribus (magnis) 
nunc axillaribus solitariis plerumque terminalibus racemosis, 
pedicellis infra medium Ellcaetadiatis petalis lineatis, vexillo 
carina elongata stricta breviore, leguminibus teretibus sericeo-

many respects this accords with x el s description of 
Coot. Sturtu, 1 Sturt’s Exped. pl. ¢ 0 (I may say entirely 
with the specific character) ; but the hates oa flowers are larger 
and the carina is always shorter than the vexillum. That dis- 
ished botanist then in his “Obs.” notices a very nearly 
mentosis, ctiolis af apice curvatis, pedu axillaribus unifloris.” 
e have specimens from em locality per ett on both these oc- 
casions, and our figure is made from those of Mr. Cunningham : 
there can be little doubt, ‘Dieashoae, that the plant Petes pace: is 
Mr. Brown’s C. Cunninghamii : but although some of our s 
mens do show axillary and single-flowered | pedals, others have 
truly terminal racemose flowers, cont partially leafy; so that 
the differences between this and C. Sturti are Gataea to the 
trifling ones just mentioned. The species is remarkable for the 
large size of the flowers, the short ale, and the very lengthened 
and straight acumen to the carina. All the petals are ‘striated 
with dark lines.
