45. Fagelia Nucx.’—Flowers almost those of Cajanus; calyx- 
lobes acuminate ; 2 superior connate for a much shorter distance. 
Corolla and stamens of Cajanus. Germen sessile 2-2 -ovulate ; style 
inflexed at middle, filiform or rather thick ; stigma minute terminal. 
Legume oblong-falcate, rather turgid, acute, continuous within, 
a little depressed outside between seeds, 2-valved. Seeds ovoid ; 
hilum short lateral, thickened into a rather fleshy aril.—A twining 
herb, suffrutescent at base, glutinous fetid; leaves of Cajanus ; 
stipules striated ; flowers*in axillary racemes ; bracts ovate caducous ; 
bractlets 0 (Southern Africa’). 
46. Atylosia Wicut & Arn.’—Flowers almost those of Cajanus ; 
calyx-lobes elongated or acuminate 2 superior connate into one entire 
or more or less 2-toothed. Corolla and stamens of Cajanus. 
Germen sessile 2—c0 -ovulate; style inflexed at middle, slender or 
slightly thickened at middle; apex small capitate stigmatiferous. 
Legume oblong or linear, obtuse or shortly acuminate, compressed 
transversely or obliquely septate and depressed outside in linear 
dents between seeds, 2-valved. Seeds orbicular or ovate; hilum 
dilated round minute funicle into a fleshy aril—Herbs or shrubs, 
twining or erect ; leaves pinnate cr more rarely subdigitate, 3-folio- 
late; leaflets with resinous dots on under surface; stipules minute 
persistent; flowers’ either axillary fascicled, or in a simple or 
branched short pedunculate raceme composed of irregularly aggre- 
gated fascicles ; bracts rather broad, deciduous ; bractlets very small 
or 0 (Tropical Asia and Australia’).

the genus into three sections, as follows :—* 1. 
Atylia. Corolla marcescent, late persistent. 
Legume coriaceous, with red bristles, depressed, 
but scarcely dented between seeds. DC., Mém. 
Légum., t. 41 (Collec) ;—Wiaeut, Icon., t. 93, 
754.)—2. Cantharospermum. Corolla usually 
deciduous. Legume coriaceous tomentose, aud 
at the same time often pilose, deeply marked by 
transverse lines between seeds. (Jacq. F., Ecl., 
t. 152 (Dolichos) ;—Cantharospermum Wieut 
& Azn., Prodr., 255.)—3. Rhynchosioides. 
Corolla deciduous. Legume broad, flat, trans- 
versely reticulated, marked by slightly depressed 
trausverse lines between seeds.”
