246 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
—T wining herbs; leaves pinnate 3-foliolate stipellate; stipules 
membranous striated ; flowers’ in axillary racemes or solitary axil- 
lary; bractlets 0 or small setaceous (North America, Northern India, 
Japan’). 
84. Cologania K.°—Flowers of Amphicarpe ; lobes or teeth of 
calyx 5; 2 superior considerably or almost entirely connate ; lowest 
longer. Standard exauriculate.* Germen stipitate; stigma terminal 
capitate. Legume linear compressed or curved, Seeds of variable 
form, hilum oblong.—Twining herbs; leaves pinnate, 3 or rarely 
1-5-foliolate, stipellate ; stipules minute or striated; flowers’ in a 
short raceme or solitary or fascicled at axils; bracts and bractlets 
usually linear or setaceous persistent (Zropical and Andine America, 
Mexico’). 
35. Periandra Marr.’—Flowers of Kennedya or Clitoria ; recep- 
tacle and calyx subcampanulate shorter than in these ; lobes of calyx 
unequal; lowest usually longer; 2 highest more or less connate. 
Petals dissimilar; standard broadly obovate or suborbicular, with 
short curved plaited claw; wings oblique; keel broad, slightly 
shorter than wings. Stamens 10 (of Clitoria); vexillary stamen 
sometimes more or less connate with the others. Germen subsessile 
o-ovulate; style subclavate at apex, beardless. Legume linear 
plano-compressed, with both sutures thickened, 2-valved. Seeds 
exarillate compressed.—Herbs or shrubs, erect or twining; leaves 
3-foliolate (lower leaves more rarely 1-foliolate), stipellate; stipules 
striated ; peduncles axillary 1—-3-flowered or at extremities of branches 
racemose; bracts in pairs, stipuliform, free or connate; bractlets 
larger, appressed to flower,® striated persistent (Zropical America’).

4 Flowers apetalous in Martia memicana 
Zuce. (in Abh. Miinch, Aiad., i. 339, t. 14, 15), 
which, according to BenrHam (loc. cit.), is a 
species of Cologania. This genus is scarcely to 
be distinguished from Amphicarpa by its exauri- 
culate standard. The calyx is identical in some 
species. :
