Keel narrowed into a beak. Pod elongated, compressed, of 
many 1 -seeded crescent-shaped joints, so that each pod has 
many notches on one side. 
18. Onobrychi.s. Cal. with 5 nearly equal subulate teeth. 
Keel obliquely truncate, longer than the wings. Pod \-celled, 
compressed, indebiscent, \-seeded, upper suture straight, 
lower curved toothed winged or crested.

St. 4 — 6 feet high, very much branched sj)reading. Fl. bright 
yellow, springing from both the ])rimary and secondary spines. 
Spines branching at their base and iqi to about half their length,

2. U. strictus (Mack.) ; cal. shaggy, bracts ovate lax, young 1. 
shaggy beneath thin, primary spines small slender tetragonal mi- 
nutely scabrous, st. hairy, jl. terminal. — Plant 1 — 2 feet high, 
with u])right branches. Fl. rarely produced : in all the specimens 
that I have seen they are terminal, springing from the summit of 
the stem, not from the spines, which branch as in U. europceus 
but are peculiarly small. The pet. slightly different in form fi-om 
the last. Distinguished from both the other species by its pecu- 
liar habit. Mr. Cameron of the Birmingham Bot. Card, has 
sown the seeds of this ])laut and obtained only plants exactly 
like the parent. (Phyt. i. 76.) — In Lord Londonderry’s park,
