26a. OXYTROFIS DC. 



Herbs or shrubby plants, similar to species of Astragalus in habit; but keel 

 petals acuminate, abruptly pointed or appendaged at the apex. 



1. Oxytropis Lamb6rtil Pursh. Stems very short, usually several from a 

 branched caudex, clothed with the persistent leaf -bases: leaves erect or ascending, 

 0.51.5 dm. tall; leaflets several, the blades linear or nearly so, 1.5-2.5 cm. long, acute 

 or slightly acuminate, silky on both sides: scapes 1.5-3 dm. tall, silky strigose: bracts 

 narrowly linear-lanceolate: calyx densely pubescent, 1011 mm. long; lobes nearly 

 subulate, the lower one markedly longer than the others: corolla violet, purple or 

 white, 16-19 mm. long; standard rounded at the apex, cuneately narrowed at the base; 

 blades of the keel and wing-petals longer than the claws, about thrice as long as 

 broad: pods narrowly conic, 18-20 mm. long, subulate-tipped. 



On plains, the Northwest Territories to Minnesota, British Columbia, Texas and New 

 Mexico. Spring and summer. 



26b. GLYCYRRHIZA L. 



Perennial herbs with stout sweet roots. Leaves alternate, the stipules free: 

 leaflets several to many, the blades entire. Flowers in spike-like panicles. Calyx 

 campanulate: lobes narrow, about as long as the tube. Corolla white, yellowish or 

 bluish: standard narrow, acute or acutish: wings and keel-petals nearly equal, much 

 smaller than the standard. Stamens 10, mainly diadelphous. Anthers alternately 

 larger and smaller. Ovary sessile. Pods stout, gland- or prickle-armed. Differs from 

 Astragalus and related genera in the prickly or glandular pod. LIQUORICE. 



1. Glycyrrhiza lepidota Pursh. Plants 1 m. tall or less, the young foliage 

 scaly or dotted: leaflets 13-19; blades oblong to lanceolate, 1.5-3.5 cm. long: 

 panicles exceeded by the leaves, dense: calyx 7-8 mm. long; lobes slender: standard 

 elliptic, 13-15 mm. long: wings and keel-petals 9-11 mm. long: pods oblong, bur- 

 like, 12-15 mm. long. 



In dry soil, Ontario to Manitoba, Washington and Mexico. Spring and summer. WILD 

 LIQUORICE. 



Page 620, after Dalbergia Brownei, insert: 



2. Dalbergia Ame"rimnum Benth. A shrub with reclining or trailing branches. 

 Leaves 1-foliolate; leaflets thickish, the blades 6-12 cm. long, ovate to oblong-ovate, 

 obtuse or acutish, glabrous in age : racemes short : calyx 4-5 mm. long ; upper lip with 

 2 broad lobes; lateral lobes of the lower lip ovate, the middle lobe lanceolate: 

 corolla white or pink; standard 8-10 mm. long, the blade obovate or cuneate: pods 

 oval, oblong or linear-oblong, 1-3.5 cm. long. Differs from I). Brownei in the 

 prominently 2-lipped calyx and the pubescent short-stalked ovary. 



In hammocks, Florida Keys. Also in tropical America. 



Page 626, after Amorpha gldbra, add: 



13. Amorpha densiflora F. E. Boynton. A much-branched shrub with densely 

 fine-pubescent branches. Leaves mostly about 1 dm. long or less; leaflets 11-23, the 

 blades oblong to ovate-oblong, 8-30 mm. long, rounded or notched at both ends, 

 copiously soft-pubescent beneath: racemes solitary or two together, 4-6 cm. long, 

 copiously pubescent: calyx 4.5-5.5 mm. long; lobes pubescent, subulate, longer than 

 the tube: standard obovate, 4 mm. long: pods 5-5.5 mm. long, the dorsal edge 

 straight. Differs from A. gldbra in the densely pubescent foliage, the short racemes 

 and the longer calyx with subulate lobes. 



In rocky soil, Crowder's Mountain, North Carolina. Spring.
