linear-oblong or semiorbicular or subreniform, piano-compressed or 

 rather turgid, coriaceous ; both sutures shortly winged or superior 

 suture thickened, dilated; stuffed within between seeds, 2-valved. 

 Seeds suborbicular or shortly reniform, compressed ; hilum short 

 or linear long, more or less thickened or fleshy subarillate. — Shrubs 

 or undershrubs, twining; leaves pinnate 3-foliolate stipellate ; 

 stipules usually small, sometimes subglandular and rather prominent; 1 

 flowers 2 in usually elongated terminal racemes, fascicled in axil of 

 each of very caducous bracts ; rachis of fascicle node-like, sessile or 

 shortly supported on an incurved partial peduncle ; bractlets caducous 

 (Tropical America, 3 Asia, and Africa 9 ). 



40. Camptosema Hook. & Arn. 5 — Flowers almost those of Bio- 

 clea ; calyx tubular or more rarely campanulate ; lobes 4, imbri- 

 cated. Standard ovate or oblong (Bionia), more rarely orbiculate 

 (Crati/lia). Stamens 10, 2-adelphous at base; vexillary stamen more 

 or less connate with remainder at middle. Germen stipitate ce -ovu- 

 late ; style subulate ; stigma terminal minute (Bionia) or capitate 

 (Cratylia). Legume stipitate piano-compressed 2-valved; sutures 

 scarcely thickened." — Shrubs or undershrubs, twining or more rarely 

 s ub erect ; leaves pinnate 3-foliolate, more rarely 1 -5-7-foliolate, 

 stipellate ; flowers 7 arranged as in Bioclea ; bracts and bractlets small, 

 usually deciduous (South America*). 



41 . Cleobulia Mart. 9 — Flowers of Bioclea, smaller ; wings dwarfed 

 apex of style dilated truncate beardless ; stigma subdorsal. Legume 

 broadly linear, compressed ; superior suture scarcely thickened. 10 — 

 A twining shrub ; leaves pinnate, 3-foliolate, stipellate ; stipules small, 

 not produced at base ; flowers in long racemes, densely fascicled in

 in section Pachylobium produced below insertion; 

 in section Eadioclea (Benth.), not produced.

6 Handsome; white, scarlet, or pinkish-purple 

 (almost like those of Cymbosema, p. 237). 



' This genus, almost intermediate between 

 Dioclea and section Collaa of Galactia, differs 

 from both by its stipitate germen and legume.
