both ends, silky or villous (not glandular), either continuous and not 
torulose within (Ckasmone’) or more or less septate between seeds,” 
sometimes marked with oblique lines or finally cleft, 2-valved.— 
Herbs, undershrubs, or more rarely shrubs, silky or villous ; leaves 
digitate 3-foliolate ; stipules rather large, free or connate close to 
base ; flowers® terminal or leaf-opposed, solitary, geminate, subum- 
bellate, or shortly racemose; bracts and bractlets usually small 
narrow (Southern Europe, northern and southern Africa, western Asia, 
India’). 
201. Lupinus.’—Receptacle somewhat concave or nearly flat at 
apex, lined by a disk. Calyx gamosepalous 2-labiate ; lobes unequal ; 
3 superior connate into a 2-toothed or 2-fid lip; 3 inferior connate 
into an entire, 3-toothed, or 3-fid lip, usually imbricated. Petals 
very dissimilar ; standard orbicular or broadly ovate; wings falcate 
oblong or obovate, dorsally connate at apex, including curved beaked 
keel. Stamens 10; filaments all connate into a usually long tube; 
oppositipetalous anthers longer basifixed; alternipetalous short 
versatile. Germen subsessile 2-c-ovulate, tapering at apex into 
curved glabrous style ; stigma subterminal capitellate, apex slightly 
bearded on one side. Legume more or less compressed, usually 
silky or villous, completely or incompletely septate between seeds, 
2-valved. Seeds shortly funiculate; hilum oblong or linear, often 
subarillate; embryo fleshy exalbuminous; radicle considerably 
inflexed.—Herbs, undershrubs, or rarely shrubs; leaves simple or 
digitate 3—-foliolate ; stipules adnate to petiole at base; flowers’ 
scattered or subverticillate in terminal racemes; bracts usually 
caducous ; bractlets usually persistent, inserted at a variable height 
on receptacle and sometimes below calyx (Worthern, subtropical, and 
temperate America, Mediterranean’). .
