29. Shuteria Wight & Arn. 1 — Flowers of Glycine; calyx 4-lobed 

 or 4-toothed (2 superior lobes connate at apex). Vexillary stamen 

 never coherent. — Herbs, twining slender ; leaves pinnate, 3-foliolate 

 stipellate ; stipules striated ; flowers 2 small, in axillary racemes, in pairs 

 or cymose along the rachis ; bracts persistent striated ; bractlets rather 

 rigid, persistent below flowers 3 {Western India''). 



30. Teramnus P. Br. 5 — Flowers of Glycine; 2 superior calyx 

 lobes distinct or connate. Stamens all connate, 1-adelphous; 5 

 alternate anthers very small, lopped. Legume terminated by hooked 

 style. 6 — Herbs, twining slender ; leaves pinnate 3-foliolate stipellate, 

 stipules small, flowers small few, fascicled at axils or arranged in 

 axillary racemes ; bracts small ; bractlets below flower, linear or 

 lanceolate, striated [Tropical America, Asia, and Africa 1 ). 



31. Kennedya Vent. 8 — Calyx gamosepalous ; teeth or lobes 5, 

 about equal in length to tube, rarely shorter (Jlardenljeryia 9 ) ; 

 2 superior teeth or lobes connate into an entire or emarginate lip. 

 Petals very dissimilar ; standard obovate or orbicular, more or less 

 narrowed at base, with or without auriculate appendages ; wings 

 oblong or obovate, oblique, adhering to keel ; keel curved, either 

 slightly acute or obtuse. Stamens 10 ; 9 connate; vexillary stamen 

 free; anthers uniform. Germen sessile or shortly stipitate, ex -ovu- 

 late ; style short or long, inflexed or curved, beardless or furnished 

 with tooth at apex ; stigma terminal capitate. Legume linear, com- 

 pressed terete or turgid, spuriously septate within between seeds, 

 stuffed or more rarely continuous. Seeds ovoid or oblong ; hilum 

 lateral arillate. — Lndershrubs or perennial herbs, prostrate or 



(Doliclws). — Labill., Sert. Austr.-Caled., t. 6 This genus is otherwise scarcely to he dis-
