17. BKADBURYA Baf. Vines. Leaflets 3, or 5 or 7. Eacemes few- 

 flowered. Calyx 2-lipped, the upper lip shorter than the lobes of the lower lip, 

 which are much longer than the tube. Corolla pink, blue, violet, or white: 

 blade of the standard suborbicular or reniform: wings and keel-petals with 

 short claws, the blades of the latter strongly curved, narrower than those of 

 the former, and with a prominent auricle at the base. Pod elongate, long- 

 beaked, its margins thickened. 



1. B. virginiana (L.) Kuntze. Leaflets 3-11 cm. long; blades linear, often 

 narrowly so and elongate, to ovate, with distinct scalloped marginal veins : upper 

 calyx-lobes nearly as long as the lower ones, like the lateral ones of the lower 

 lip, setaceous-subulate: blade of the standard 21-25 mm. wide: seeds less than 

 3 mm. long. — Piuelauds and hammocks, L. keys, L. S. keys. — [E. K.] — {Bah., 

 Cuba, Ant.) — Butterfly-pea. 



18. PHASEOLUS [Tourn.] L. Vines or diffuse plants. Leaflets 3 or 

 rarely 1. Eacemes or panicles simple or branched. Calyx short and very 

 broad, 2-lipped, the upper lip entire or broadly 2-lobed, the lower lip 3-lobed. 

 Corolla variously colored: blades of the wings mucli smaller than that of the 

 standard, short-clawed: blades of the keel-petals not dilated at the base, short- 

 clawed. Style curved. Seeds with rounded ends.

 Calyx slightly 2-lipped, the upper lip broad, shorter than the lower lip, the 

 middle lobe of the lower lip slightly larger than the lateral ones. Corolla 

 yellow or purple: blades of the wings and the keel-petals very broad, those of 

 the latter with an angular or reflexed auricle at the base. Pod narrow.

 keys.— [E. K.]—{Ber., Bah., Cuba, A7it.) 



20. DOLICHOS L. Herbs resembling Phaseolus, and with a similar 

 calyx. Corolla with a prominently appendaged standard, very broad wings 

 and narrow keef-petals which are bent at right-angles, but not coiled. Pods 

 linear to scimitar-shaped.
