 English botanist of the last century. Linn. 

 16, Or. 4, Nat. Or. Fabaceas. All the species 

 of this genus are almost destitute of interest ; 

 they grow best in loam and peat. The shrubby

 planted in sand, under a glass. The tender 

 annual species must be sown on a gentle hot- 

 bed, and when of sufficient size, transplanted 

 into the open borders. Sijnonymes: 1, Pso- 

 ralea laxiflbra ; 2, P. leporlna ; 3, P. Dalea.

 thought to be j-ielded by a species of this 

 genus. Synonyme : .1, Finns Ddmmara, Jga-
