flora and others, and the racemes of C. odorata, hut the silky ovary distinguishes it from 
these and all its congeners, except C. crassicaulis. 
6. C. australis, Br. ; — FI. N. Z. i. 50, excl. var. An erect, much 
branched shrub or small tree ; branclilets elongated, quite flat, straight, T \— 
y in. broad, finely striated, with distant alternate notches. Leaflets 1 or 2 
pairs, membranous, broadly or narrowly obovate-cordate or obcuneate, quite 
glabrous. Flowers small, y in. long-, in small, 5-8-flowered, erect or spread- 
ing, glabrous or slightly pilose racemes; pedicels about as long as the calyx. 
Calyx nearly glabrous, with very small obtuse teeth. Standard broad, longer 
than the wings. Ovary quite glabrous. Pod oblong, spreading, i in. long, 
suddenly narrowed to a short or rather long acute beak; valves not wrinkled. 
Seeds 1-4, dull red. — Bot. Beg. t. 912; C. CunningJiamii, Baou'i, Choix, t.

Forst. 
Common along the east coasts and interior of the Northern and Middle Islands, Banks 
and Solander, etc. The branchlets are sometimes upwards of i in. broad, hut this appears 
to be rather an anomalous than a normal state of the plant. The pod has rarely a subu- 
late beak, as in C. flagelliformis ; it is so in authentic specimens of Lehmann’s C. stricta, 
however. 
7. G. odorata. Col. in FI. N. Z. i. 50. A much-branched shrub ; 
branchlets distichous, terete compressed or plano-convex, T -’— Ty in. broad, 
deeply grooved, pubescent towards the tips. Leaves small, silky-pubescent 
on both sides ; leaflets in 2 pairs, very small, i— §• in. long, narrow oblong, 
obcuneate, 2-lobed at the tip. Flowers minute, Ty — j in. long, in nume- 
rous, small, erect, many-flowered, pubescent racemes, very shortly pedicelled ; 
bracteoles minute, on the pedicel. Calyx-teeth rather long, acute. Pods in 
pendidous racemes, exactly like those of C. pilosa. 
Northern and Middle Islands : east coast, Colenso ; Nelson , Travers, Munro ; Otago, 
lake district, Hector and Buchanan. Very similar indeed to C. pilosa, from which the 
glabrous ovary at once distinguishes it. 
8. C. flagelliformis. Col. in FI. N. Z. i. 51. A much branched shrub, 
with almost fastigiate, numerous, very slender, compressed, rarely plano-con- 
vex grooved branchlets, ^-g— To i n - broad. Leaves not seen. Flowers minute, 
yL— in. long, in pubescent, lax, 3-6-flowered fascicles or open racemes; pe- 
dicels very slender ; bracteoles above the middle, or below the calyx. Pods 
oblong or obliquely orbicular, about i in. long, with a stout, subulate, straight 
beak T ’ T in. long. Seeds mottled with yellow or red, brown and black.- —

Northern and Middle Islands: east coast, Colenso ; Milford Sound, By all ; Nelson, 
Bidwill ; Otago, Lindsay; Akaroa, Baoul. This is possibly the true Lotus (?) arbor eus, 
Torst., hut it differs from C. australis, Br. in the narrow grooved branchlets, pubescent 
racemes, and in the pod. 
9. C. juncea. Col. in FI. N. Z. i. 51. A small, slender shrub, a foot 
or less high, with very slender, compressed, often curved, grooved branches 
and branchlets, less than yy in. broad. Leaves not seen. Flowers minute, 
T l y— in. long, in loose, small, nearly glabrous or puberulous 4-8-flowered 
fascicles ; pedicels curved, about as long as the calyx or longer, bracteolate 
below it. Calyx small, rather membranous ; lobes small, rather acute. Ovary
