952. Leaflets flat. 



Shrubby, rather tall ; leaflets usually in one to three pairs, 

 from broadly obovate to almost elliptical, dull-green on 

 both sides, soon glabrous ; glandules depressed, solitary 

 between each pair of leaflets; flowers in very short racemes 

 or corymbs ; petals yellow ; stamens ten ; lowest anthers 

 slightly larger ; fruit broadish, flat ; pericarp thin ; seeds 

 dark-brown, placed transversely. C. desolata.

953. Leaflets from lanceolar- to linear-elliptical, somewhat 



concave. 



Shrubby, rather tall ; leaflets dull-green on both sides, 

 usually in three to five pairs, often beset with very short 

 greyish hairlets ; glandule between the lowest leaflets 

 depressed ; flowers in very short racemes or corymbs ; 

 petals yellow ; fruit broadish, flat, rounded-blunt ; 

 pericarp thin ; seeds dark -brown, placed transversely. 



C. Sturtii. 



Leaflets cylindrical- or channelled-linear. 



Shrubby, from rather dwarf to tall ; leaflets in few or several 

 pairs, densely beset with very short greyish or whitish 

 hairlets ; glandule between the lowest leaflets depressed ; 

 flowers in very short racemes or corymbs ; petals yellow ; 

 stamens ten, the two or three lowest longer than the 

 others ; fruit flat, rather broadish ; seeds dark-brown, 

 placed transversely. C. artemisioicles. 



954. Leaflets developed. 



Shrubby, rather tall ; leaf -stalk continuous with the dilated 

 rachis, placed somewhat vertically, the anterior edge 

 turned towards the branchlet ; leaflets in one or two pairs, 

 somewhat long, almost linear, channelled, scantily beset 

 with hairlets or almost glabrous ; glandule between the 

 lowest leaflets depressed; flowers in short racemes or 

 corymbs ; petals yellow ; the two or three lowest stamens 

 slightly longer ; fruit flat, rather narrow ; seeds dark- 

 brown, placed transversely. Figure 49. 



C. eremophila. 

 Leaflets usually undeveloped. 



Shrubby, rather tall ; leaf-stalks from elliptical-lanceolar to 

 broad -linear, narrowed downward, the anterior edge
