146 R. H. CAMBAGE. 



Cotyledons sessile, slightly sagittate, oblong, apex 

 rounded, 5 to 6 mm. long, 2 mm. broad, at first erect, but 

 becoming horizontal in a few days, remaining for a few 

 weeks; outer or underside red to pink, sometimes yellowish- 

 brown towards base, slightly wrinkled longitudinally, 

 upperside green, glabrous. 



Stem terete in the lower portion, but becoming angular 

 in the upper part were affected by decurrent leafstalks, 

 green, glabrous. First internode *5 to 1 mm.; second 

 about 1 mm.; third 1*5 to 4 mm.; fourth 2 to 5*5 mm.; fifth 

 2 to 5 mm. 



Leaves — No. 1. Abruptly pinnate, petiole 4 to 5 mm. long, 

 glabrous; leaflets two pairs, the basal pair oblong acumin- 

 ate, 5 mm. long, 1*5 mm. broad, not always opposite, the 

 terminal pair obovate, 5 mm. long, 2 to 2*5 mm. broad, 

 upperside green, underside pink; rachis 4 mm. long, green, 

 glabrous, excurrent; stipules *5 mm. 



No. 2. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole slender, 7 mm. to 

 l'l cm. long, glabrous, excurrent; leaflets two to three 

 pairs, oblong-acuminate to obovate, mucronate, not always 

 opposite, of irregular size, the largest being 3*5 mm. long, 

 and 1 mm. broad, midrib fairly distinct especially on under- 

 side; the pinna usually lyrate; rachis 5 to 7 mm. long, 

 glabrous, excurrent. 



Nos. 3, 4, and 5. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole 1'3 to 2 cm. 

 long, Nos. 4 and 5 being sometimes slightly flattened ver- 

 tically to about *5 mm. broad, and with a few parallel 

 nerves, glabrous, excurrent; leaflets two to three pairs 

 similar in shape, size, and arrangement to those of No. 2, 

 with, in some cases, a few indistinct hairs on margins, 

 midrib and secondary vein sometimes showing under pocket 

 lens, the pinnae not always equally pinnate; rachis 4 to 

 6 mm. long, glabrous, excurrent ; stipules weak, or little 

 more than scales, up to about 1 mm. long. In one case 

 No. 5 appeared as a phyllode without any leaflets.
