LEGUMINOS#-PAPILIONACE. 249 
linear-oblong or semiorbicular or subreniform, plano-compressed or 
rather turgid, coriaceous; both sutures shortly winged or superior 
suture thickened, dilated; stuffed within between seeds, 2-valved. 
Seeds suborbicular or shortly reniform, compressed ; hilum short 
or linear long, more or less thickened or fleshy subarillate.—Shrubs 
or undershrubs, twining; leaves pinnate 3-foliolate stipellate ; 
stipules usually small, sometimes subglandular and rather prominent;' 
flowers? in usually elongated terminal racemes, fascicled in axil of 
each of very caducous bracts; rachis of fascicle node-like, sessile or 
shortly supported on an incurved partial peduncle ; bractlets caducous 
(Tropical America, Asia, and Africa’). 
40. Camptosema Hook. & Arn.’—Flowers almost those of Dio- 
clea; calyx tubular or more rarely campanulate; lobes 4, imbri- 
cated. Standard ovate or oblong (Bzonia), more rarely orbiculate 
(Cratylia). Stamens 10, 2-adelphous at base; vexillary stamen more 
or less connate with remainder at middle. Germen stipitate o-ovu- 
late; style subulate; stigma terminal minute (Bionia) or capitate 
(Cratylia). legume stipitate plano-compressed 2-valved; sutures 
scarcely thickened.’—Shrubs or undershrubs, twining or more rarely 
suberect; leaves pinnate 3-foliolate, more rarely | -5-7-foliolate, 
stipellate; flowers’ arranged as in Dioclea ; bracts and bractlets small, 
usually deciduous (South America’). 
41. Cleobulia Mart.’—Flowers of Dioclea, smaller ; wings dwarfed 
apex of style dilated truncate beardless ; stigma subdorsal. Legume 
broadly linear, compressed ; superior suture scarcely thickened." 
A twining shrub ; leaves pinnate, 3-foliolate, stipellate ; stipules small, 
not produced at base; flowers in long racemes, densely fascicled in 
1Tn section Platylobium small, entire at base; 
in section Pachylobiwm produced below insertion; 
in section Eudioclea (BENTH.), not produced. 
2 White, blue, or violet.

6 Handsome ; white, scarlet, or pinkish-purple 
(almost like those of Cymbosema, p. 237). 
7 This genus, almost intermediate between 
Dioclea and section Collea of Galactia, differs 
from both by its stipitate germen and legume.
