51840. Ceotalaria steiata Schrank. 



A low-growiDg Brazilian shrub with rounded green branches, trifolio- 

 late subglabrous leaves, and elongated terminal racemes of numerous 

 drooping yellow flowers. The petals are striped with deep orange-brown. 

 The broadly oblong standard is reflexed, and the subfalcate oblong 

 wings are less than half the length of the much-acuminated keel, which 

 is as long as the standard. (Adapted from Curtis' s Botanical Maga- 

 zine, pi. 3200.)

51841. Crotalaria usaramoensis Baker f. 



A tall herb allied to Crotalaria lanceolata E. Mey. from which it 

 differs in its shorter and wider leaflets, 4 to 6 centimeters long and 10 

 to 10 millimeters wide, subacuminate at the tip and cuneate at the base. 

 The leaves are glabrous above and slightly pubescent below. The 

 numerous yellow striated flowers are in elongated terminal racemes, 15 

 to 25 centimeters long. The keel is rounded and acute at the tip. Na- 

 tive to German East Africa. (Adapted from Journal of the Linnean 

 Society, vol. Jj2, p. 346.) 



51842. Crotalaria retusa L. 



An ornamental tropical annual with an acutely quadrangular branched 

 stem, 1 foot high, entire, oval, glabrous leaves, and terminal racemes 

 of six to eight rather large and handsome flowers resembling in color 

 those of some species of lupine. The greenish white standard, streaked 

 within with pale blue, is bent back, the obovate wings are yellowish 

 white at the base, the rest deep purple; the keel is whitish, yellow at 

 the tip. (Adapted from Curtis's Botanical Magazine, pi. 3034.)

A dwarf, dense, usually procumbent, much-branched shrub, with hard, 

 ovate, shining leaves half an inch long, dark green on the upper surface, 

 pubescent or tomentose beneath. The white, solitary flowers are one-third 

 of an inch across, and the globose, bright-red fruits are one-fourth of an 

 inch in diameter. Native to China and the temperate Himalayas at alti- 

 tudes of 4.000 to 10,000 feet. (Adapted from CoUett. Flora Simlensis, p.
