3. * mouophylla. G. tomentosa, /3. movophylla. ?»Iich. 2- 

 p. 03. Dwarf and erect, pubescent: leaves simple, 

 roundish and dilrtted, rug-osely veined, stipules ensifbrm; 

 racemes subsessile, conglomerate: seg-ments of the calix 

 lanceolate, acum.inate, veined. Hab. From Carolina to 

 Florida; in the Pme forests. Flowers yellow, dyciiie 

 reniformis. Ph. 2. p. 486. Obs. Seldom more than 4 or 5 

 inches high, and producing simple, very rarely ternate 

 leaves upon longish petioles, (-alix divided nearly to the 

 base. Corolla nearly as in the preceding, fulvous yellow; 

 carina likewise very short, and as in the 2 preceding spe- 

 cies not reflecting the vexillum. Legume partly oblong, 

 compressed, 2-seeded. 



4. * refiexa. Stem twining; leaves temate, roundish 

 i-homboidal, sm.ooth, at first villous, under side covered 

 with resinous atoms; racemes filiform, pedunculate, 

 scarcely longer than the leaves; flowers small and remote, 

 reflected; corolla connivent; segments of the calix lan- 

 ceolate, acuminate. Hab. In the vicinity of St. Mary*s, 

 West Florida. — Dr. Baldwyn; from whom I recieved a 

 specimen under tliis name. Nearly allied, apparently, to 

 G. rhombifoUa of India, with which it ouglit to be com- 

 pared. Flowers small and yellow. Obs. Stem slender, 

 angular, slightly villous; stipules subulate. Leaves petio- 

 late; leaflets 3-nerved, reticulately veined and partly co- 

 riaceous; lateral leaflets roundish and dilated on one side, 

 central one rhomboidally dilated; all the leaflets subtend- 

 ed by setaceous stipules, and tlie terminatmg one by 2. 

 "N'exillum incumbent, somewhat reflected by the curved 

 carina; one of the dentures at the base of the wings subu- 

 late, \he other merely angular. Legume oblong, pubes- 

 cent, 2-seeded. 



To this genus, as above proposed, apparently belong 

 C angnstijolia, G. reticulata, G. mollis, G. pictu, G. candy 

 G. curib,ea, and G. rhombifoUa; of the remainder I can 

 form no opinion, and recommend their examination to 

 those botanists who may have it in their power.
