dula, oblongo-lanceolata, glabra, 3-4-sperma. 
Of this plant I had an imperfect specimen in the Lew- 
isian Herbarium, together with some pods of an Astra- 
galus, which led me into the error of placing it under 
that genus ; but having since seen fine specimens in the- 
collection of Mr. Bradbury, I was enabled to correct 
this error. 
Astragalus racemosus. — A. caulescens, erectus, subpube- 
scens ; foliolis (21) lanceolatis superne sensim minori- 
bus, stipulis ovatis acuminatis, spicis racemosis pedun- 
culatis folio longioribus, densifloris, bracteis linearibus 
pedicellis brevioribns, calycibus glabriusculis, dentibus 
subulatis. 
In Upper Louisiana. Bradbury. 1/. v. s. in Herb . 
Bradbury. Flower white. Resembles A. carolinianus. 
Astragalus carnosus. — A. caulescens, diffusus, albido-seri- 
ceus, foliolis (21) ellipticis supra glabris, subtus sericeis, 
stipulis subulatis, spicis subsessilibus, leguminibus glo- 
bosis inflatis carnosis. 
In Upper Louisiana. Bradbury . v. s. in Herb. Bradbury . 
The fruit resembles that of A. psysodes. Flowers ap- 
pear to have been white. This is probably the A. eras - 
sicarpus Fraser . catal. 1813. 
Astragalus triphyllus. — A. acaulis, argenteus, foliis ternatis, 
foliolis sessilibus lanceolatis, scapo nullo, leguminibus 
sessilibus oblongis. 
In Upper Louisiana. Bradbury. I/ . v. s. in Herb. 
Bradbury. A most singular species, the leaves of a 
shining silver colour ; the flowers were too much de- 
cayed when I examined the specimens. 
Qxytropis Lambertii. — O. acaulis, sericeo pilosa ; foliolis 
(19) lanceolato-ellipticis utrinque acutis, scapis folia 
aequantibus, spicis capitatis, bracteis linearibus longi- 
tudine calycis. 
On the Missouri. Bradbury. 7/. Aug. Sept. v. v. in 
Hort Lambert. Flowers a beautiful purple. It ap- 
proaches near to O. argentata and setosa. 
Dalea aurea . — D sericeo-villosa ; spicis oblongis termina- 
libus solitariis, bracteis oblongis acuminatis calycis lon- 
gitudine ciliatis, calycibus villosissimis, foliis sub-3«
