286 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
stipules 2, lateral minute, subulate or dot-like; flowers’ spuriously 
capitate or umbellate (inflorescences axillary pedunculate), or solitary 
or few terminal ; bract ] below inflorescence, leaf-like 1—3-foliolate ; 
bractlets 0 (Zurope, western Asia, northern Africa’). 
109. Hosackia Doveu.*—Receptacle obconical thin. Calyx gamo- 
sepalous to a considerable height; teeth 5, nearly equal. Petals 
long-unguiculate; claws free from staminal tube ; standard obovate, 
suborbicular, or ovate; claw thin straight, remote from others ; 
wings oblong-obovate, auriculate above at base; keel curved, a little 
shorter than wings, rather obtuse at apex. Stamens 10, 2-adel- 
phous (9-1) ; all or alternate filaments slightly dilated below uniform 
anthers. Germen sessile 2— 00-ovulate, tapering at apex into a style; 
style slender, curved or inflexed, more or less dilated below apex ; 
stigma small capitate terminal. Legume linear compressed (Luho- 
sackia), or subterete and straight or arched (Drepanolobus), septate 
within between seeds, 2-valved. Seeds exarillate.—Herbs or under- 
shrubs ; leaves 3-foliolate or oftener pinnate 2—- -foliolate; stipules 
membranous or gland-like; flowers‘ in axillary spurious umbels or 
umbellules, more rarely solitary; bract minute, or 1—o -foliolate at 
base ; bractlets caducous (Worth and Central America’). 
110. Anthyllis L.'—Receptacles slightly concave, glandular 
within. Calyx gamosepalous to a considerable height, tubular or 
inflated ;7 teeth or lobes nearly equal or 2 superior longer and more 
or less connate. Petals on long claws often adnate at base to 
staminal tube; standard ovate or elliptical, abrupt or 2-auriculate at 
base; wings obtuse; keel of variable form, shorter than wings, 
curved, gibbous on both sides. Stamens 10; either all connate into 
1 Whitish, pink, yellowish, or variegated.
