T. herbacea, glabella; caulibus decumbentibus ; stipulis aristato-subu- 

 latis; foliolis S-i-jugis lato-linearibus obtusissimis mucronatis basi 

 acutiusculis subtus striguloso-puberulis ; racemis paucifloris folio sub-

Hab. Hunter's River, New South Wales. (New South Wales,

A low, herbaceous species, almost glabrous; with branching, ascend- 

 ing or decumbent steins from a perennial root ; the younger parts more 

 or less puberulent. Stipules subulate-awned, 2 lines long, persistent. 

 Leaflets 7 or 9, broadly linear, 7 to 12 lines long and about 2 lines 

 wide, very obtuse, onucronate, acutish at the base, glabrous above, 

 minutely strigose-puberulent underneath; the straight veins not con- 

 spicuous. Racemes few-flowered, rather exceeding the leaves; the flowers 

 scattered. Calyx-teeth subulate-setaceous. Legume linear, an inch 

 and a half long, 2 lines wide, incurved towards the apex, compressed, 

 8-10-seeded, puberulent.

41. AG ATI, Rheede. 



1. Agati grandiflora, JDesv. 



Hab. Oahu, Sandwich Islands. " Cultivated, but not naturalized." 



The A. coccinea, now considered to be no more than a variety of A. 

 grandiflora, seems not to have been met with at the Society Islands, 

 where it was originally collected by Forster.
