cemes ; bracts caducous; bractlets 0 (Southern Europe, temperate and 
subtropical Asia, northern Africa, western North, and tropical South 
America, Australia’). 
94, Calophaca Fiscu.*—Calyx tubular, usually glandular ; lobes 
nearly equal or 2 superior connate to a greater height, imbricated in 
estivation. Petals unequally unguiculate ; standard ovate or subor- 
bicular, erect patent ; lateral margins folded back, often bearing ap- 
pendages within a little above base ; wings oval-oblong subfalcate free, 
rather long-unguiculate ; keel curved, about equal to wings, obtuse or 
emarginate at apex. Stamens 10, 9 connate; vexillary stamen free ; 
anthers uniform, often fixed by middle of back. Germen sessile w- 
ovulate ; style slender beardless arched; stigma minute terminal. 
Legume linear, finally terete or turgid, often acute, villous, stuffed, 
or bare within, 2-valved. Seeds subreniform exarillate——Herbs or 
shrubs, often glandular pubescent; leaves imparipinnate ; leaflets 
entire exstipellate ; stipules membranous or herbaceous, more or less 
adnate to petiole ; flowers few, rather large, shortly racemose or sub- 
umbellate ; bract 1-flowered; bractlets, 2, lateral, usually inserted 
below calyx; inflorescences axillary; peduncles long (Russian and 
western Asia‘). 
95. ene nanee Fiscu.'—Calyx posteriorly gibbous ; teeth 
5, short; 2 superior subconnate. Corolla of Calophaca ; keel curved. 
Stamens 10, 2-adelphous (9-1); anthers uniform. Germen stipitate 
c-ovulate ; style inflexed beardless; apex minute stigmatiferous. 
Legume obovate or oblong, thick coriaceous, turgid, dehiscing rather 
late; placentary suture slightly impressed. Seeds subreniform, 
shining exarillate——A shrub; leaves paripinnate; some of leaflets 
at apex of petiole often spinescent; stipules subulate; flowers’
