45 cm. long; leaflets mainly 15-25, the blades narrowly oblong, 5-6 mm. long, obtuse, 

 short -petioled : flowers few, slender-pedicelled : calyx 5-6 mm. long, glabrous, the lips 

 nearly equal: corolla mainly yellow, sometimes purplish tinged; standard with a sub- 

 orbicular blade 10 mm. in diameter, and a short claw; wing-petals 8 mm. long, with 

 a prominent auricle at the base of the blade: pods mainly 3-6 cm. long, curved, the 

 stipe 10-15 mm. long, the joints typically 7 mm. long, more strongly curved above 

 than below, the sides strongly rugose at maturity. Differs from A. Virginica in the 

 glabrous calyx, the broad standard and the long-joints of the pod. 

 In the Everglades, between Miami and Cape Sable, Florida. All year.

9a. Lespedeza bicolor Turcz. Perennial, finely pubescent or nearly glabrous. 

 Stems erect, 2.5 m. tall or less, copiously branched: leaflets 3, the blades mostly 

 oblong or oval, 1-3.5 cm. long, minutely pubescent on both sides, pale beneath, usually 

 mucronulate: inflorescence diffuse: calyx 5-6 mm. long; lobes about as long as 

 the pods: corolla purple, cream-colored or rarely white, 12-14 mm. long: pods 

 elliptic, 7-8 mm. long, veiny. Differs from L. prairea in the larger flowers and fruits.

42a. CAJAN Adans. 



Perennial woody plants. Leaves alternate: blades 3-foliolate. Flowers few or 

 several in racemes. Calyx somewhat 2 -lipped, the upper lobes more united than the 

 lower. Corolla yellow or mainly so: blade of the standard suborbicular, sharply 

 auricled at the base: blades of the wings rather prominently but unequally auricled 

 on each side: blades of the keel-petals broad at the apex. Pod elongated, turgid. 

 Differs from Dolicholus in the more than 3-ovuled or 3-seeded carpels and sharp 

 incurved auricles at the base of the standard-blade. 



1. Cajan Cajan (L.) Millsp. Plants 3-23 dm. tall, velvety-tomentose : leaf- 

 lets mainly 4-12 cm. long; blades narrowly elliptic or oblong, acute or short-acuminate, 

 pale and prominently veined beneath: calyx 8-14 mm. long: standard-blade 16-20 

 mm. long: pods narrowly oblong to linear-oblong. 



In pine lands and waste grounds, peninsular Florida and the Keys. Naturalized from 

 the tropics. PIGEON PEA. CONGO PEA. 



Page 647, after Erythrina arborea, insert: 



43a. MUCUNA Adans. 



High-climbing vines. Leaves alternate: blades 3-foliolate. Flowers perfect, in 

 erect few-flowered racemes or panicles. Calyx 2-lipped, the upper lip entire, the 

 lower lip 3-lobed. Corolla red, purple, green or yellowish: standard much shorter 

 than the other petals, the blade longer than wide: blades of the wings auricled on one 

 side: keel-petals scythe-shaped. Pod turgid. Differs from Erythrina in the promi- 

 nently lobed calyx and the small standard, the flat pods and the flattened seeds. 



1. Mucuna Deerlngianum (Bort.) Small. Annual, or usually so. Leaflets 7-16 

 cm. long; blades sparingly pubescent, those of the lateral ones obliquely ovate, that 

 of the terminal one rhombic or ovate-rhombic: lower calyx-lobes triangular or 

 triangular-lanceolate: corolla purple or white; standard 23-26 mm. long, the blade 

 ovate; wings broadened at the apex; keel-petals narrowed at the bent apex: pods 

 5-9 cm. long, coarsely pubescent. 



In hammocks, peninsular Florida. Naturalized from the tropics. VELVET BEAN.

2. Clitoria Tematea L. Foliage more or less pubescent. Stems high-twining: 

 leaflets 5-7, the blades ovate, oval or suborbicular: calyx-tube nearly cylindrie, 8-11 

 mm. long; lobes ovate, acute, about \ as long as the tube: corolla mainly violet;
