214 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
and on the other hand the true Sainfoins (Oxodrychis; Fr., Hsparcette), 
with the flower and vegetative organs (fig. 182) of Hedysarum, but 
whose fruit (fig. 183) is reduced 
to a single one-seeded joint, very 
variably winged or muricated. 
Ebenus has also an indehiscent 
fruit reduced to a single joint. All 
these genera constitute the sub- 
series Huhedysaree. 
To these schynomene@ comes 
very near; the flowers are here in 
racemes (often few-flowered), cymes 
or fascicles always axillary to the 
leaves. These last are pinnate, 
with usually numerous leaflets, 
or rarely only from one to three. 
In these flowers the wings are 
often folded across, and the keel is 
incurved, obtuse or beaked. The 
stamens are either monadelphous, 
or equally diadelphous (five on 
either side of the flower). Un- 
equal diadelphy (9-1) is very rare. 
The style is slender filiform, usually 
incurved. In this subseries are 
placed the following genera: Zschy- 
nomene, LHermimera, Semmeringia, Geissaspis, Smithia, Discolobium, 
— Ormocarpum, Isodesmia, Brya, Pictetia, Amicia, 
Onobrychis erista-gallt. Doinetia, Chatocalye, Nissolia, and (P) Ctenodon. 
The single genus Adesmia constitutes the little 
group Adesmice, or Hedysaree with free stamens. 
Bremontiera forms another little group. Here 
the fruit finally separates into one-seeded joints 
as in most Hedysaree, but the genus has the flowers 
of Indigoferee ; the leaves are simple.

Fruit (2). Coronillee are herbaceous, or rarely frutescent, 
Hedysaree with pinnate, or rarely simple leaves 
and axillary peduncles, supporting each a single flower, or a little 
umbel. The stamens are diadelphous, and five have the upper parts
