252 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



45. Fagelia Neck. 1 — Flowers almost those of Cajanus ; calyx- 

 lobes acuminate ; 2 superior connate for a much shorter distance. 

 Corolla and stamens of Cajanus. Germen sessile 2-oo -ovulate ; style 

 inflexed at middle, filiform or rather thick ; stigma minute terminal. 

 Legume oblong-falcate, rather turgid, acute, continuous within, 

 a little depressed outside between seeds, 2-valved. Seeds ovoid ; 

 hilum short lateral, thickened into a rather fleshy aril. 2 — A twining 

 herb, suffrutescent at base, glutinous fetid , leaves of Cajanus ; 

 stipules striated ; flowers 3 in axillary racemes ; bracts ovate caducous ; 

 bractlets [Southern Africa*). 



46. Atylosia Wight & Arn. 5 — Flowers almost those of Cajanus; 

 calyx-lobes elongated or acuminate 2 superior connate into one entire 

 or more or less 2-toothed. Corolla and stamens of Cajanus. 

 Grermen sessile 2-co -ovulate ; style inflexed at middle, slender or 

 slightly thickened at middle ; apex small capitate stigmatiferous. 

 Legume oblong or linear, obtuse or shortly acuminate, compressed 

 transversely or obliquely septate and depressed outside in linear 

 dents between seeds, 2-valved. Seeds orbicular or ovate ; hilum 

 dilated round minute funicle into a fleshy aril. — Herbs or shrubs, 

 twining or erect ; leaves pinnate or more rarely subdigitate, 3-folio- 

 late ; leaflets with resinous dots on under surface ; stipules minute 

 persistent ; flowers 6 either axillary fascicled, or in a simple or 

 branched short pedunculate raceme composed of irregularly aggre- 

 gated fascicles ; bracts rather broad, deciduous ; bractlets very small 

 or {Tropical Asia and Australia').
