  This 
  Egyptian 
  leguminous 
  plant 
  was 
  first 
  given 
  a 
  specific 
  name, 
  Medicago 
  

   nummularia, 
  by 
  De 
  Candolle, 
  who, 
  in 
  describing 
  it, 
  cited 
  Gaertner's 
  figure 
  of 
  

   Medicago 
  circinata 
  (De 
  Fructibus 
  et 
  Seminibus 
  Plantarum, 
  1791, 
  vol. 
  2, 
  p.

   pi.

  and

  M. 
  circinata 
  /?. 
  (Species 
  Plantarum, 
  1801, 
  vol. 
  3, 
  

   p. 
  1404.) 
  Medicago 
  circinata 
  L. 
  has 
  a 
  reniform 
  pod 
  with 
  a 
  dentate 
  margin. 
  In 
  

   M. 
  nummularia 
  Willd., 
  the 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  pod 
  is 
  entire. 
  These 
  plants 
  are 
  gen- 
  

   erally 
  known 
  as 
  Hymenocarpos 
  circinatus 
  and 
  H. 
  nummularius. 
  The 
  generic 
  

   name 
  Hymenocarpos 
  was 
  published 
  by 
  Savi 
  in 
  1798 
  (Flora 
  Pisana, 
  vol. 
  2, 
  p. 
  

   205), 
  with 
  one 
  species, 
  H. 
  circinata, 
  based 
  on 
  Medicago 
  circinata 
  L. 
  However, 
  

   in 
  1787 
  Medicus 
  had 
  already 
  published 
  the 
  generic 
  name 
  Circinnus 
  (Vorle-

  der 
  Kurpfaelzischen 
  Physikalisch-Oekonomischen
