Among Drege s collection of Lipozygis tenella there are three small 
decrepit specimens of an undescribed species, which exhibit an affinity to 
Lotononis pumila, Eekl. and Zeyh. ; their leaflets are obovate-euneate, 
rotundate or emarginate, subequal among themselves, 5 mm. long, 
1-5-2 mm. broad, equals the petiole, or shorter than them, sericeous on 
both surfaces, greenish and subeoriaceous ; stipules ? Flowers shortly 
pedicellate, solitary, axillary or opposite to the leaves. Calyx hirteilous, 
membranous, cleft to the middle or lower, 7 mm. long ; lobes subequal, 
narrowly triangular. Legume straight, oblong, compressed, 8-9 mm. 
long, about 20-seeded. 
Lack of perfect flow^ering material prevents an adequate description 
being offered, but provisionally the species is named L. decrepita. 
The distribution of L. tenella var. hirsutissima, Harvey, suggests a 
closer relationship to L. calycina, to which species it lis therefore referred.

Closely allied to L. tenella, Eekl. and Zeyh., but differing in the 
longer calyx-tube, very pilose corolla and legume, which latter equals 
the calyx.

Meisner' s specimens of Lipozygis Kraussiana, which I have seen, 
agree with Lotononis versicolor, Benth.
