RHODESIA. —Salisbury, F. Kyles No. 2094. Alt. 4900 ft. 
This is a procumbent herb with rather broad stipules. It differs principally from 
the type in the leaves being mostly trifoliolate. The standard is yellow and the wings 
bright red. The calyx is +13 mm. long (total length), the lowest segment narrow and 
much longer than the others. Calyx tube, + 3 mm. 
C—STEM VOLUBLE OR SUBVOLUBLE. BRACTS CADUCOUS, RARELY 
SUBPERSISTENT. LEAFLETS BROAD. FLOWERS RACEMOSE. 
Series 4.—Leaflets small. Peduncles nearly as long as or slightly longer than the leaves. 
Flowers small, in unilateral racemes. 
+ Leaflets softly pubescent or velvety. Stipules broadly ovate. 
14. R. Harveyi. (R. secunda Harvey, le. ui. 251.) 
Prostrate softly pubescent or velvety. Branches flexuous. Leaves trifoliolate, petio- 
late ; terminal leaflets orbicular-rhomboid, obtuse, 10-15 mm. long, 12-17 mm. broad ; 
lateral leaflets unequalsided. Peduncles shorter or scarcely longer than the leaves, laxly 
2-4-flowered. Calyx 6-7 mm. long; segments longer than the tube, shorter than the 
glabrous standard. Standard + 9 mm. long. Keel + 9 mm. long. Pod 15-18 mm. 
long, narrowed towards the base, pubescent. 
CapE.—Smaldeel, Zeyher No. 514; near Grahamstown, P. MacOwan No. 160. 
Flanagan No. 164 from Komgha is a form of this species. 
++ Leaflets fulvous, resin-dotted below. 
15. R. secunda (Glycine secunda, Thunberg, “ Prod. Fl. Cap.,” 181). 
Stem herbaceous, filiform, pubescent. Stipules narrower than in the preceding 
species, lanceolate, longitudinally striate. Leaves trifoliolate, petiolate ; terminal leaflets 
rhombeo-ovate, 10-15 mm. long, and nearly the same breadth, rounded at the apex; 
petiolules 2-3 mm. long; lateral leaflets unequalsided, sessile or subsessile, all resin-dotted 
below ; petioles pubescent, 8-10 mm. long. Flowers small, in 5-10-flowered secund racemes, 
which are often 3-4 cm. long. Pedicels very short. Calyx 6-7 mm. long, hairy, the lowest 
segment longer than the rest. Standard 6-8 mm. long, glabrous; keel about the same 
length. Pod not seen. 
CAPE.—In campis graminosis, Thunberg, Herb. Thunberg. 
This is a rare plant, the only specimen I have seen being in Herb. Thunberg. 
Series 5.—Leaves trifoliolate, terminal leaflets broadly obovate. Peduncles short, 5-T- 
flowered. 
16. R. Burkei, Burtt-Davy and Bak. fil. in “Kew Bull.” 1921, 193. 
R. adenodes, Ecklon and Zeyher, var. ? robusta, Harvey, l.c. 
Stems prostrate, robust, longitudinally striate, pubescent. Stcpules lanceolate. Leaves 
trifoliolate, petiolate; terminal leaflets broadly obovate, 20-25 mm. long, 23-28 mm. 
broad ; terminal petiolules 6-8 mm. long, on both sides except the nerves nearly glabrous ; 
lateral leaflets unequalsided, sessile ; common petiole 15-25 mm. long. Pedwumcles laxly 
5-T-flowered, generally 25-30 mm. long. Flowers small, 7-8 mm. long. Calyx pubescent, 
+ 4 mm. long. Standard 6-7 mm. long. Pod pubescent, about 12 mm. long. 
ORANGE FREE STATE.—Thaba `'Nchu, Zeyher No. 280; Burke in Herb., Kew. 
This is quite distinct from R. adenodes, Ecklon and Zeyher. It has broad, obovate 
terminal leaflets and a short inflorescense of quite small flowers. It does not seem to be 
common. 
Series 6.—Leaves trifoliolate, terminal leaflets ovate or obovate. Racemes short, few- 
flowered. 
+ Terminal leaflets obovate, 20-25 mm. broad.
