Has. North-west coast of Australia, Bynoe (Voyage of the — 
Beagle). 
A most distinct and well-marked species. Mr. Bentham ob- 
serves to me of this and the one given in our preceding plate 
(Tab. 829), that “they have the leaf articulated at the top of the 
petiole and thus unifoliolate, like my Brazilian C. unifoliolata, 
whilst the great mass of simple-leaved Crotalaria have the leaf 
sessile or narrowed into a very short petiole without articulation.” 
Another -of this kind I find in Mr. Bynoe’s collection defined 
below.*

Has. N.W. Coast of Australia, Bynoe (Voy. of the Beagle) 
Habit of C. crassipes, but specifically very distinct. The petioles are in no way 
decurrent, and the stipules are very caducous (all fallen on our flowerin g specimens), 
and every part of the plant, save the corolla and upper side of the leaf clothed with 
rufo-fascous silky down.
