Gen. Char. Calyx (fig. 1.) of 1 sepal, tubular, egg-oblong, 
inflated, pubescent, with 5 small, unequal, marginal teeth, perma- 
nent. Corolla (see fig. 2.) papilionaceous, of 5 petals, with strap- 
shaped claws the length of the calyx ; standard (fig. 3.) longest, 
reflexed at the sides ; wings (fig. 4.) 2, oblong, a little shorter than 
the standard ; keel (fig. 5.) of 2 narrower petals, compressed, 
slightly cohering at the tips.. Filaments (see fig. 6.) 10, united 
into one cylinder, finally splitting along the upper edge, their 
separate extremities curved upwards. Anthers small, roundish. 
Germen oblong. Style (see fig. 7.) awl-shaped, ascending. Stigma 
blunt. Legume (fig. 8.) small, roundish, or oblong, a little turgid, 
concealed within the enlarged inflated calyx, of 1 cell and 2 valves. 
Seeds (fig. 10.) 1 or 2, roundish-kidney-shaped, smooth. 
The inflated, 5-toothed calyx; the corolla with the standard, 
wings, and keel, nearly equal in length; and the roundish, 1-to 
3-seeded legume, inclosed in the permanent calyx ; will distinguish 
this from other genera, with monadelphous stamens, in the same 
class and order. 
One species British.
