CROTALARIA VERRUCOSA. 
Our drawing was taken last spring, from a plant in the stove of J. Cook, Esq., 
Brooklands, Blackheath Park. Loam and sandy peat, or leaf-mould, is suitable 
soil for the species to grow in. 
Krotalon, a castanet, in allusion to the seeds of this genus rattling in their 
inflated pods, when the latter are shaken, furnishes the generic name.
