flowering in July. The whole plant is very fmooth, 

 fcarcely glaucous, two or three feet high, diilinguiflied by 

 its perfoliate, almoll orbicular lea-ves, about two inches 

 broad, accompanied by lemon-coloured jloiuers, on (hort 

 limple ilalks. Legume nearly globular. 



2. B. vniflora. Downy Single-flowered Wild Indigo. 

 (Podalyria iiniflora ; Michaux Boreal.-Amer. v. i. 263. 

 Purlh n. 2. Sophora lanceolata ; Walt. Carol. 135.) — 

 Leaves ternatc, fefllle, downy ; leaflets lanceolate, obtufe. 

 Stipulas brifl;le-ihaped, minute. Flowers axillary, folitary. 

 — Obferved by Michaux in Carolina and Georgia. The 

 whole herbage is downy, as well as the calyx. Floiuers 

 ftalked, yellow. 



3. B. ■villofn. Downy Cluftered Wild Indigo. (Poda- 

 lyria villofa ; Michaux ibid. 261. Purfli n. 3. Sophora 

 villofa; Walt. Carol. 134.) — Leaves ternate, nearly feffile, 

 downy beneath ; leaflets elliptic-oblong, obtufe. Stipulas 

 linear. Clufter terminal, denfe. Calyx four-cleft. — In low 

 fandy grounds of Virginia and North Carolina, flowering in 

 June and July. Refembles a Lupine very much. Flowers 

 yellow. Putjli. Michaux fays the floiuers are pale, nearly 

 iefiile ; Walter calls them " cinerei."

 leaflets lanceolate, fomewhat wedge-ftiaped. Stipulas lan- 

 ceolate, longer than the footft^alk. — On the banks of rivers 

 in Virginia and Carolina, particularly in the weftern diftricts, 

 flowering in June and July. Purjh. A hardy perennial in 

 our gardens, about two feet high, fmooth in every part, of 

 a fine glaucous-green, with ereft clujlers of large handfome 

 \A\iS Jloiuers ; the ftandard and wings ftriped with a darker 

 blue ; the keel white. 



5. B. alba. White -flowered Wild Indigo. Ait. n. 4.

 3p. PI. 1006. Anonis caroliniana perennis, non fpinofa, 

 &c. Mart. Cent. t. 44. ) — Leaves ternate, ftalked, fmooth ; 

 leaflets elliptic-oblong. Stipulas awl-ftiaped, fliorter than 

 the footftalk, deciduous. Germen fmooth. — In the weftern 

 parts of Virginia and Carolina, on the banks of rivers, 

 flowering in June and July. Purjli. Hardy in our gardens, 

 but not of frequent occurrence. Cateft5y firft introduced 

 it in 1724. The habit of this fpecies, its fmoolhnefs, and 

 rather glaucous hue, agree with the laft, to which it is cer- 

 tainly raoft nearly allied ; but the leajlels are elliptical, the 

 flowers white, more oblong, in coniequence of the greater 

 length of the wings and keel, the Jltpulas fmaller and decir 

 duous. The corolla is here and there fpotted with brown, 

 and is reported to be fometimes blue. Some of the 



Jlowers, in both thefe fpecies, are often whorled, and give 

 the cl'tjler an interrupted-form, like that of a Lupine, the 

 afpeft of which genus is otherwife vifible in thefe plants. 



6. B. mollis. Soft Wild Indigo. (Podalyria moHis ; 

 Mich. ibid. 264. Purfti n. 6.) — " Herbage and calvx 

 minutely downy. Leaves ternate ; leaflets lanceolate, flightly 

 rhomboid. Stipulas lanceolate, leafy. Clufter fpiked, ter- 

 minal. Teeth of the calyx acute." — Found by Michaux 

 in the county of Mecklenburg, Upper Carolina. Peren- 

 nial. Flowers deep yellow. Michaux. 



7. B. tindoria. Common Wild liijiigo. Ait. n. 3. 

 (Podalyria tinftoria ; Willd. Sp. PI. .v. 2. 503. Mich, 

 ibid. 265. Purfti n. 7. Lamarck f. j. Curt. Mag. 



t. 1099. Sophora tinftoria ; Linn. Sp. PI. 534. Cytifuf 

 procumbens americanus, flore luteo, ramofiflimus, qui Anil 

 fuppeditat apud Barbadenfium colonos ; Pluk. Phyt. t. 86. 

 f. 2.) — Leaves ternate, fomewhat ftalked, fmooth; leaflets 

 roundifli-obovate. Stipulas fetaceous, obfolete. Flowers 

 racemofe. — In woods on dry hills, from Canada to Carolina, 

 flowering in July and Augull. Called Wild Indigo. PurJh. 

 A low,' partly procumbent, fmooth plant, whofe numerous 

 branches are each terminated by a iimple clufter of yellow 

 Jlowers, about half the fize of B. aujlralis. The pods are 

 ovate, on ftalks much longer than the permanent calyx. 

 This fpecies is faid to have been cultivated for Indigo, in 

 the North American fettlements, and even in Barbadoes, 

 before the true Indigofera was introduced. It is tolerably 

 hardy with us, in a dry foil and Ifieltered fituation, but has 

 nothing to i-ecommend it for general cultivation.
