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 5 but having since seen fine specimens in the 
collection of Mr. Eradbury, I was enabled to correct 
this error. 
Astragcdus racemosus. — A. caulescens, erectus, subpube- 
scens ; foliolis (21) lanceolatis superne sensim minort- 
bus, stipulis ovatis acuminatis, spicis racemosis pedun- 
culatis folio longioribus, densifloris, bracteis linearibus 
pedicel lis brevioribns, calycibus glabriusculis, dentibus 
subulatis. 
In Upper Louisiana. Bradbury. Ij. . v. s. in Herb. 
Bradbury, flower white. Resembles A. carolinianus . 
Astragalus carnosus. — A. caslescens, diiFusus, 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 triphylliis. — A. acaulis, argenteus, folds ternatis, 
foliolis sessilibus lanceolatis, scapo nullo, leguminibus ^ 
sessilibus oblongis. 
In Upper Louisiana. Bradbury. If., v. s. in Herb. 
Bradbury. A most singular species, the leaves of a 
shining silver colour j the flowers were too much de- 
cayed when I examined the specimens. 
Oxytropis Lambertii. — O. acaulis, sericeo-pilosa foliolis 
(19) lanceolato-ellipticis utrinque acutis, scapis folia 
aequantibus, spicis capitatis, bracteis linearibus longi- 
tudinecalycis. 
On the Missouri. Bradbury. %. 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 j spicis oblongis termina- 
libus solitariis, bracteis oblongis acuminatis calycis lon- 
gitudine ciliatis, calycibus villosissimis, folds sub-3- 
jugis oblongis obovatisque obtusis.
