2 Sections 3 : Kennedya, Physolobium, Zieliya, 

 formerly considered as genera by Bentiiam (Ann. 

 IT/ en. Mils., ii. 122), but now, in his own opinion 

 ( (?«■«. ,531),scarcelytobe separated from each other.

5 The standard is said to be exauriculate (B. II.,

auriculate appendages are certainly longer than 

 in Amphicarpa.
