stipules striated, free or connate; flowers' in simple or branched, 
rarely 1-flowered, terminal or axillary, racemes; bracts of variable 
form ; bractlets 0? (Australia’). 
32. Dumasia DC.‘—Flowers almost those of Kennedya; calyx 
slightly gibbous posteriorly at base, obliquely truncate at mouth; 
teeth scarcely projecting or inconspicuous. Standard obovate 2- 
auriculate.’ Germen oo-ovulate, surmounted at base by a disk 
produced into a tube; style dilated at middle, tapering at apex and 
base; stigma capitate terminal. Legume subsessile compressed 
2-valved.—Twining herbs; leaves pinnate 3-foliolate stipellate ; 
stipules setaceous or striated ; flowers® in axillary racemes, solitary or 
in pairs in axils of each of narrow bracts, bractlets 2 below flower, 
narrow (Zropical Asia and Africa’). 
33. Amphicarpa Ex..’—Receptacle a little concave, lined by a 
disk produced into a tube round gyneceum. Calyx gamosepalous 
tubular; teeth 4, 5, subequal subvalvate. Standard obovate erect, 
dilated above claw with or without small inflexed auricular appen- 
dages, plaited and usually reflexed laterally; wings falcate-oblong 
more or less adhering to keel ; keel about equal to or a little shorter 
than wings, more or less curved, obtuse.? Stamens 10, 2-adelphous 
(9-1); vexillary stamen free; anthers uniform. Germen shortly 
stipitate, «-ovulate; style inflexed slender beardless; apex capitate 
stigmatiferous, Legume linear or falcate, compressed, continuous 
within, 2-valved. Seeds subglobose or a little compressed, exarillate. 
1 Red, violet, or blackish. 
2 Sections 3: Kennedya, Physolobiwm, Zichya, 
formerly considered as gencra by BENTHAM (Ann. 
Wien. Mus., ii. 122), but now, in his own opinion 
( Gen.,531),scarcely tobeseparated from each other.

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

auriculate appendages are certainly longer than 
in Amphicarpa.
