rarely somewhat fleshy; leaves simple or digitately 3-foliolate ; 
leaflets sessile exstipellate on short or much reduced thick pul- 
vinate or tuberculate petiole; flowers' in short or elongated terminal 
spikes, or more rarely solitary axillary or lateral; bracts and bractlets 
usually leaf-like (South Africa’). 
214. Buchenreedera Ecxu. & Zera.'— Flowers almost of As- 
palathus; calyx gibbous behind; teeth short subequal. Legume a 
little longer than calyx, ovate obliquely acute, somewhat turgid. 
Seeds 1-3, exarillate—Silky or villous herbs; leaves digitately 3- 
foliolate, petiolate; stipules foliaceous; flowers* in elongated or 
capituliform terminal spikes; bracts foliaceous (South Africa’). 
215. Lebeckia Tuuns.'— Flowers almost of Aspalathus; calyx 
oblique, with subequal teeth or short lobes. Keel acute or subros- 
trate and nearly equal to standard (Aulebeckia’) or longer (Stiza*), 
sometimes acute or subrostrate (Sarcophyllum’) often scarcely longer 
than wings-(Viborgioides”), sometimes obtuse, longer than wings, and 
equal to or longer than standard (Calodota”). Stamens and pistil of 
Aspalathus. Legume linear flat (Stiza, Sarcophyllum), narrow terete 
(Eulebeckia), or terete or turgid (Viborgioides, Calobota), «-seeded, 
2-valved—Shrubs or undershrubs; branches virgate or spinescent ; 
glabrous or silky ; leaves simple or digitately 1-3-foliolate; stipules 
small or 0; flowers” in terminal, often unilateral racemes; bracts and 
bractlets small or 0" (South Africa’).
