CALYClFLOIiJE. 
1. Cajanus bicolor. Pigeon or Congo Pea. 
Standard externally discoloured, legumes 4-5- 
seeded spotted, stipels nearly equal in length with 
the petiolules of the lateral leaflets. 
Laburnum liurnilius, siliqua inter grana et gran a juncta, se- 
mine esculento, Sloatie, II. 31. — Cytisus fruticosus, Browne, 296. 
— C. Cajan, Lam. Diet. II. 219 — C. pseudo-cajan, Jacq. Hort. 
Vind. II. t. 119. — Cajanus bicolor, De Cand. Hort. Monsp. 85. 
HAB. Native of the East Indies. Cultivated. 
FL. Spring. 
A shrub, 5-6 feet in height : branches erect, fastigiate, an- 
gulose ; the angles prominent, downy. Leaflets puherulous 
above, hoary and velvety, with numerous minute yellow glan- 
dules, in the interstices of the reticulated nerves, beneath. Sti- 
pels lanceolate, acute. Racemes shorter than the leaves, axil- 
lary, erect, of about 8 flowers: peduncle angulose : pedicels 
terete, filiform, puberulous, elongating on the maturation of the 
legume. Calyx 5-nerved, discoloured with brownish purple. 
Wings yellow with an orange-coloured stain. Ovary and the 
inferior portion of the style villous. Legumes usually 5-seeded, 
dark purple along the edges and strangulations, pubescent with 
yellow hairs seated on minute viscid glandules. Seeds spheri- 
cal, compressed, dotted with purple especially around the 
hilum. 
2. Cajanus flavus. No-Eye Pea. 
Standard externally of an uniform colour, legumes 
2-3-seeded, and, as also the calices, not spotted, sti- 
pels of the lateral leaflets half the length of the pe- 
tiolules. 
Cytisus cajan, Linn. Spec. 1041. — Jacq. Ohs. I. t. 1. — Plum, 
ed. Burm. t. 114. f. 2. 
HAB. Native of the East Indies, and now cultivated in all 
the warm districts of America. 
FL. Beginning of Summer. 
The general description of the preceding species applies, in 
nearly every respect, to this which we are at present consider- 
ing. The exceptions are, that in this the corolla is of an 
uniform yellow colour, the calyx, seeds, and legume are free 
of any spots, and the last has very little of that viscidity, which 
we noticed as belonging to the C. bicolok. The general ap- 
pearance of both is very much alike, and they can scarcely, pre- 
vious to flowering, be distinguished from one another, except 
that the leaves of the C. flavus are rather smaller and finer 
to the touch.
