XLIII. LEGUMINOS/E. 
Standard orbicular or reniform, large. Ovules 2. 
Calyx-lobes much longer than the tube, valvate. 
Funicles long and thick, one folded or curved upwards, the other 
downwards. Pod globular or nearly so. Leaves pinnate, digitately 
3 to 5-foliolate or simple 7. Burtonia. 
Funicles short and slender. Pod flattened or oblong. Leaves none 
or very rarely 1-foliolate 8. Jacksonia. 
Calyx-lobes shorter than the tube, or, if longer, imbricate or open in the 
bud. 
Pod nearly globular, usually stipitate. Strophiole none. Calyx upper 
lip very large. Petals nearly sessile. Leaves simple and narrow 
or none 9. Spherolobiuai. 
Pod sessile, ovoid, small, and indehiscent. Calyx shortly 5-toothed. 
Leaves reduced to a long petiole, with or without 1 or 3 digitate 
leaflets 10. Viminaria. 
Pod triangular, 2-valved. Seeds strophiolate. Calyx shortly 5- 
toothed. Leaves simple, alternate or none 11. Daviesia. 
Pod ovate or oblong, 2-valved. Calyx 5-lobed or toothed or 2-lipped. 
Leaves simple, sessile or shortly petiolate. 
Leaves flat or folded lengthwise, or with revolute margins, or, if 
terete, channelled underneath. 
Bracteoles none or very deciduous. 
No strophiole. No stipules. Flowers 1 to 3 in each axil . . 12. Aotus. 
Seeds strophiolate. Stipules often present. Flowers in racemes 
or dense axillary clusters 14 Gastrolobium. 
Bracteoles persistent close under the calyx, or adnate to it. 
No strophiole. No stipules. Filaments some or all united 
with the petals at the base 13. Phyllota. 
Seeds strophiolate. Stipules usually (not always) present. 
Filaments free 15. Pdltenea. 
Leaves concave or with incurved or involute margins, or, if terete, 
channelled above. Seeds strophiolate. 
Bracteoles persistent close under the calyx or adnate to it. 
Stipules usually present 15. Pdltenea. 
Bracteoles none or at a distance from the calyx, and usually very 
small. Stipules none or minute. Calyx more or less 2-lipped, 
or the upper lobes broad. Pod ovate, flat or turgid. Leaves 
alternate or crowded. Standard usually very broad . . . .16. Dillwynia. 
(Barklya has simple or rather 1-foliolate leaves and the stamens free ; but it is a large tree, 
with small nearly regular flowers.) 
Tribe II. Crenisteae . — Shrubs or herbs, very rarely small trees. Leaves simple or with 1 or 
3 or more digitate leaflets ( except Goodia). Stamens all united in a sheath open on the upper side 
in all the Australian genera ( except in one species of Hovea), or in a closed tube in several 
European and African genera. Pod dehiscent, not articulate. 
Leaves all simple or none. Flowers axillary, solitary or clustered. Seeds 
strophiolate. 
Anthers uniform. Pod very flat. 
Upper suture of the pod bordered by a narrow wing and not splitting, 
the valves rolling back upon it elastically. Leaves opposite . . .17. Platylobium. 
Pod not winged, opening at both sutures. Leaves opposite or alternate 18. Bossiea. 
Anthers alternately longer and shorter. Leaves alternate or none. 
Pod at least twice as long as broad, with coriaceous convex valves. 
Flowers red, yellow, or reddish-purple 19. Templetonia. 
Pod turgid, scarcely longer than broad. Flowers blue or bluish- 
purple 20. Hovea. 
Leaves pinnately 3-foliolate. Flowers in terminal or leaf-opposed racemes. 
Seeds strophiolate 21. Goodia. 
Leaves digitate or simple. Flowers or racemes terminal or leaf -opposed. 
Seeds not strophiolate. 
Anthers alternately longer and shorter. Style (often very minutely) 
bearded under the stigma. 
Keel acute or beaked. Pod turgid 22. Crotalaria. 
Tube of stamens not slit along the top. Calyx-teeth much exceeding the 
tube. Wings connate at the apex. Keel rostrate 23. ’Lupinds. 
(Flemingia, and a very few species of other genera of Phaseolece, have 3 digitate leaflets, but 
may readily be distinguished from Genistew, either by their upper stamen free or by the twining 
herbaceous stems. Some species of Psoralea and Indigofer a, with digitate leaves, may be 
known, the former by their ovary and pod, the latter by the stamens and anthers. — Benth,)
