3. Crotalaria fruticosa. Shrubby Rattle-wort. 
Stipules attached only to the upper leaves lanceo-

lous with appressed hairs, stem suffruticose, racemes 
opposite to a leaf and subterminal about 3-flowered.

FL. Autumn. 
Suffruticose, seldom more than a foot in height, subdivided, 
subterete, villous with appressed hairs. Nerves of the leaves 
scarcely perceptible. Stipules only attached to the leaves at the 
ends of the branches, lanceolate, acute, decurrent along the stem. 
Raceme more or less elongating as the pods ripen : peduncle 
subterete, villous: pedicels short with a linear bractea at the 
base ; flowers of an obscure greenish-yellow, with a pair of linear 
bracteoles close to and appressed to the calyx. Calyx persis- 
tent, hairy ; segments lanceolate. Standard roundish, subcor- 
date, bicallose at the base, greenish-yellow, striated, with par- 
allel purple lines ; wings small ; keel open beneath near the 
base, somewhat spirally twisted towards the apex. Filaments 
free for half their length. Ovary glabrous, geniculated at the 
style, which is barbato-puberulous towards the obtuse stigma. 
Legume rather more than an inch in length, black, hoary, many- 
seeded : seeds shining reniform. 
This is not a very attractive species, and, from its narrow 
leaves resembling those of the grass among which it grows, it 
is apt to be overlooked. The flowers also are obscure. 
4. # Crotalaria lotifolia. Lotus-leaved Rattle-wort. 
Leaves 3-foliate, leaflets oblongo-cuneiform emar- 
ginate glabrous, peduncles axillary solitary 1 -flowered, 
legumes sessile.
