XLIII. LEGUMINOSiE. 
[Swai/nsona. 
10. S. oroboides (Orobus-like), F. v. M. Herb.; Benth. FI. Austr. ii. 
222. A small perennial, sometimes appearing annual, seldom exceeding 
Gin., the young parts silky-pubescent, at length nearly glabrous. Leaflets 
usually 3 or 5, lanceolate, acute, the terminal one often above lin. long, 
the lateral ones smaller, in the lower leaves often solitary, shorter, and more 
obtuse, in the upper leaves sometimes 7, smaller and linear. Stipules subulate. 
Flowers small, usually few in a very short raceme, or almost umbellate on a rigid 
peduncle, shortly exceeding the leaves. Calyx silky-pubescent, about 2 lines 
long, the lobes rather longer than the tube, but not so fine as in S. oligophylla. 
Standard 4 to 5 lines diameter, with a very slight callosity at the top of the claw, 
sometimes scarcely perceptible ; wings short ; keel exceeding the wings, broad, 
incurved, obtuse. Ovary villous ; style slender, incurved. Pod sessile, ovoid, 
ovoid-globular, or shortly oblong, often incurved, membranous, inflated, pubescent, 
about £in. long. 
Hab.: Near Warwick, Beckler, and other inland localities. 
Allied somewhat to S. oligophylla, but readily distinguished from it by the foliage. — Bentli. 
11. S. monticola (a mountain plant), A. Cunn.; A. Gray, Bot. Amer. Expl. 
Exped. i. 411 ; Bentli. FI. Austr. ii. 228. A diffuse ascending or erect perennial, 
Leaflets small, usually narrow, and acute. Racemes usually loose and elongated. 
Calyx with scarcely any black hairs. Keel broad, much incurved, rather acute 
or almost rostrate. Pod sessile and inflated, mostly under £in. in length. 
Hab.: Southern inland localities. 
12. S. luteola (pale-yellow), F. v. M. Fragm. i. 75; Benth. FI. Austr. ii. 
228. A small species, hoary or silky-pubescent, with branching, erect 
or ascending stems of 4 to 8in. Leaflets 7 to 13, obovate or oblong, 
obtuse, not above 4in. long. Stipules broadly lanceolate. Flowers small, 
yellowish, few, in almost sessile racemes or interrupted spikes shorter than the 
leaves. Bracts small ; bracteoles inconspicuous. Calyx pubescent, narrower 
than in the other species, not 2 lines long, the lobes acute, about as long as the 
tube. Standard nearly 3 lines diameter, rather longer than broad, without 
callosities ; wings shorter ; keel nearly straight, obtuse. Style short, inflexed, 
almost involute at the extremity. Pod sessile, oblong, acuminate, f to l£in. long, 
membranous and inflated, but narrow, with the seminal suture more or less 
indented. 
Hab.: Basaltic plains, Peak Downs, and Rockhampton, F. v. Mueller. 
The small narrow flowers and close short inflorescence give to this plant a very different aspect 
from that of the rest of the genus. — Benth. 
13. S. parviflora (flowers small), Benth. FI. Austr. ii. 223. Nearly glabrous, 
with erect slender stems of about 1ft. and a few leaves. Leaflets 5 to 9, linear- 
acute, mostly lin. long or more. Racemes slender, with small distant flowers. 
Bracts minute. Pedicels about as long as the calyx. Calyx-tube about 1 line 
long, the teeth shorter, narrow, acute. Standard without callosities, about 3 
lines broad and not so long ; wings as long as the keel, which is much curved, 
but obtuse. Style much inflexed, but not involute at the end, with a small tuft 
of hairs round the stigma. Pod sessile, ovoid, membranous, much inflated, about 
£in. long. 
Hab.: Wide Bay, Bidwill. 
14. S. microphylla (small- leaved), A. Gray, Bot. Amer. Expl. Exped. i. 
410 ; Benth. FI. Austr. ii. 223. Much branched at the base, with ascending or 
erect branches of \ to 1ft., or rarely more, glabrous or minutely pubescent. 
Leaflets numerous, obovate, obcordate or cuneate-oblong, usually emarginate, 
sometimes all under 1 line, more frequently 2 to 3 and rarely 4 lines long.
