 corolla, and a somewhat different legume. 



8. JE. acntangola, Welrv. mss. A glaucous glabrous undershrub 

 2-3 ft. high with strong triquetrous striated branches. Stipules lan- 

 ceolate, rigidly coriaceous, persistent, 6-10 lines long, with a lanceo- 

 late spur lJ-2 lines deep. Petioles 3-6 lines, glabrous ; rachis 2-3 

 in.'; leaflets 12-15-jugate, linear- oblong, 6-9 lines long, 1J-2 lines 

 broad three-quarters of the way up, rigidly coriaceous, prominently 

 veined, turning black when dried. Flowers in copious terminal panicles' 

 that reach a foot long, with lax erecto-patent viscous branchlets; Pe- 

 dicels erecto-patent, very slender, 2-3 lines. Calyx 2-2J lines deep, 

 split down to the base. Corolla yellow, twice the calyx. Pod with 

 1, or rarely 2 hemispherical articulations rounded on the lower side, 

 2 lines broad, smooth on the face. Pedicel as long as the calyx. 



Lower Guinea. Highlands of Pungo Andongo, Dr. Welwitsch ! 

 A very distinct species, connecting the two subgenera, as it combines the spurred 

 stipules of Euceschynomene with the leaves and pod of Ochopodium.

 3-6 in. high, with densely csespitose erect stems copiously clothed with 

 short grey bristles. Stipules linear, 1J-2 lines, rigidly coriaceous. 

 Leaves subsessile ; rachis 3-6 lines long, denselv bristly; leaflets 

 10-15-jugate, linear, acute, mucronate, 1-1J lines long, rigidly coria- 

 ceous, strongly veined, the midrib nearly central. Flowers 12-20 in 

 copious terminal racemes 1-2 in. long. Pedicels 1-2 lines, erecto- 

 patent, densely bristly. Bracts lanceolate, caducous, J in. Calyx 

 2J-3 lines, glabrous, with a pair of small lanceolate bracteoles at the 

 base ; lips blunt. Corolla bright orange -yellow, persistent, twice the 

 calyx. Articulations 1-2, hemispherical, £ in. long, 2J lines broad,

10. JE. glabrescens, Welrv. mss. An undershrub 12-18 in. with

 when mature, thinly glandulose-setose when young. Stipules 3-5 

 lines, lanceolate, rigidly coriaceous. Petioles 1-2 lines ; rachis 1 J-2J 

 in., both quite glabrous ; leaflets 6-9-jugate, oblong-lanceolate, acute, 

 6—9 lines long, rigidly coriaceous, strongly veined on both sides. 

 Flowers 10-18 in lax short-stalked terminal racemes reaching 4 in. 

 long. Pedicels 2-4 lines, erecto-patent, usually glabrous. Calyx 

 2 lines, glabrous ; lips oblong, blunt. Corolla orange, more than 

 twice the calyx. Articulations always solitary, 8-9 lines long, 5-6
