— 19) obcordate ; pe- 
dunclces long; flowers 
white. 
Plant small and apparently decumbent. Leaves unequally pinnate, leaf- 
lets 2 — 3 lines long, completely obcordate, on very short partial peti- 
oles. Peduncles robust, bearing at their summit 8 — 12 flowers. Bracteas 
subulate, scarcely longer than the partial peduncle. Calyx a little hairy, 
segments long, subulate. Corolla white. 
This remarkable species was sent to me from St. Marys’ by the late 
Dr. Baldwin as the A glaber of Michaux. From the specimen the 
corolla appears to have been white, the Legume I have not seen. 
Grows in the Southern Districts of Georgia near St. Mary’s.
