y. Glycine Javanica, or Java glycine : leaves ternate ; 
ftalk vitlofe ; petioles rough-liaired ; braftes lanceolate, 
minute. Stem twining, as in Phafeolus, with yellow 
reflex hairs fcattered over it ; leaves of Phafeolus; pe¬ 
duncles the length of the leaves, terminated by an ovate- 
oblong clofe fpike of nodding violet-coloured flowers, 
with very minute braftes between them. bJative of the 
Eaft Indies, and nearNagafaki in Japan, where it is called 
fajo mame, and flowers in September and Oilober. 
8. Glycine comofa, or bearded glycine : leaves ter¬ 
nate, hirfutc ; racemes lateral. This rifes from two to 
three feet high, with flender herbaceous ftalks ; flowers 
fmall, of a iftne blue colour ; feeds with purple fpots. 
Native of Virginia, in moift fhady places. > It flowers 
here in June ; and is fometimes fucceeded by feeds, v/hich 
ripen in Augufl. 
9. Glycine phafeoloides, or phafeolus glycine: leaves 
ternate, villofe underneath; raceme's terminating. Stem 
twining to a confiderable height, and bearing many flow¬ 
ers towards the top. The legumes have two feeds, and 
are contradted in Uie middle. Native of Jamaica and 
Domingo. 
10. Glycine tomentofa, or downy glycine : leaves ter¬ 
nate, tomentofe ; racemes very fhort, axillary; legumes 
two-feeded. Root perennial; llalks twining, from afoot 
and a half to four feet in heiglit, three-cornered, hairy ; 
a lingle leaf comes out at each joint, on a foot-ftalk; 
leaflets roundifl), wrinkled, fet with flender haus, the 
under fiirface paler, the middle leaflet fomewhat -wider 
than tlie lateral ones. From the bofom of the leaves 
three or four fmall flowers come out, on very fliort pe¬ 
duncles, of a pale yellow colour ; legumes the form and 
fize of the lentil, brown when ripe, fomew hat hirfute, 
containing two feeds, fmaller than lentils, and more 
dwelling, brownifli, and marked with paler fpots. Na¬

ers from June to September, and ripens tlie early flowers 
in autumn. 
/?. Dolichos pubefeens of Linnaeus’s Species is proba¬ 
bly only a variety of this, the banner not being bent 
back. The flature of t!iis variety is that of Phafeolus 
vulgaris, but the whole plant is fofrer and pubefeent. 
The leaflets are almofi: ifaked on the upper fiirface; tlie 
middle one inclining to rhomb-fliaped, the fide ones gib¬ 
bous without, and lantec'late within ; flowers three to¬ 
gether, fefiile, yellowifh -white, with a browm fpot on 
the banner; legumes oblong, pubefeent, a little bowecT 
back. 
11. Glycine reticulata, or netted-leaved glycine: leaves 
ternate, oblong-lanceolate, pubefeent, the veins like net¬ 
work underneath ; racemes axillary, fiibfellile ; legumes 
oblong, comprerted. Native of Jamaica ; found there 
by Swartz. 
12. Glycine bituminofa, or clammy glycine : leaves 
ternate ; flowers raceined ; legumes tumid, villofe. Na¬ 
tive of the Cape of Good Hope; introduced in 1774, by 
Mr. Francis Malfon : flowers from April to September. 
13. Glycine nummularia : leaves ternate, very obtufe ; 
racemes with flowers in pairs; legumes fetlile, fuborbi- 
culate, compreffed. Stem herbaceous, twining, angu. 
lar, pubefeent. Native of the Jiaft Indies. 
14. Glycine labialis,. or labiate glycine: twining; 
leaves ternate, obovate, fomewhat hoary ; flowers axil¬ 
lary, heaped, corolla fomewhat two-lipped- Stalk twin¬ 
ing, the tliicknefs of a thread ; feeds f even to nine, round¬ 
ifl), compreffed, yellow. Native of the Eaft Indies, 
15. Glycine ftriata, orftriated glycine: twining; leaves 
ternate, oblong, very foftly hoary; racemes axillary, tlie 
length of tlie leaves; legumfes extremely hirfute. Stems 
woody, round, liirliite. It has from fix to thirty flowers, 
by pairs or in threes at fhort intervals, on their proper 
pedicels. Seeds feveral, thining, brow.i v.iriegated. Na¬ 
tive of South Amaiica ; it flowered in the Vienna gar¬ 
den in 1770. 
16. Glycine rofea,,or rofeate glycine; twining; leaves 
: I N E. 63 f 
ternate; leaflets cordate-ovate, acute, quite gntire ; pe¬ 
duncles three-flewered ;'legumes coniprefl'ed, keeled, 
one-feeded. 17. Glycine lucida, or fliining glycine : 
twining ; leaves ternate ; leaflets-ovate, acuminate, quite 
entire; racemes terminating, glandular, piedicels in 
threes; legumes inflated, containing' two feeds. Na¬ 
tives of the Society I ties. 
18. Glycine fu.iveolens, or fweet-fmelllng glycine ; 
fljrubby, upright, hoavy ; leaves ternate, ovate, acute ; 
flowers axillary, folitaiy ; legumes containing two feeds. 
A fliriib, the whole of which is hoary, clammy, and 
fweet. Seeds black, fmootli, with a callous whitifh 
heart. Found by Koenig among rocks near Madras, in 
the Eafl: Indies. 
19. Glycine apios, or tuberous-rootpd glycine: leaves 
unequally pinnate, ovate-lanceolate, with feven leaflets. 
This has tuberous roots, from which come out in the 
fpring flender twining fldlks, which rife to the height of 
eight or ten feet ; leaves compofed of three pairs of 
leaflets, terminated by an odd one. Tlie floivcrs come 
out in fhort fpikes from the fide of tlie ftalks. They 
liave little feent, appear in Auguft-, but do not produce 
feeds in England. The genus of this is doubtful, per¬ 
haps it may be nearer to the Aftragali, but the corolla 
is different, efpecially in the linear keel much fickle- 
fliaped ; colour dark purple, dufky flefii-colour, or ra*- 
ther fuliginous, or a fullen blufli-colour. Culti'/ated 
here in 1640. Parkinfon calls it Virginia earth-nuts. 
20. Glycine frutefeens, or flirubby glycine, or Caro¬ 
lina kidaey-hean-tree : leaves unequally pinnate ; flalk 
perennial. This has woody ftalks, which twift them- 
felves togctlier, and alfo twine round any trees that grow 
near, and will rife to tiie heiglit of fifteen feet or more. 
The leaves are in fluipe foincwliat like thofe of the afh- 
tree, but have a greater number of leafieti. The flowers 
are produced in clufters from the axils, and are of a 
purple colour ; they are fucceeded by long cylindrical 
legumes, fhaped like thofe of the fcarlet kidney-bean, 
containing feveral feeds, which are never perfected in 
England. The legume, in this and the foregoing fpecies, 
two celled. 1 1 flowers from June to September. Intro¬ 
duced in 1724, by Mr. Mark Catefby. 
21. Glycine monopiiylla, or fimple-leav-cd glycine: 
leaves fimple, cordate ; ftalk pubefeent, three-cornered. 
Stalks two feet high, branclted, the tliicknefs of a thread, 
prollrate and decumbent, hairy.- Linnaeus obferves that 
iiis plant differs in having an upright ftalk, and narrower 
leaves. Native of the Cape of Good Fiope. It flovvers 
in Auguft. 
22. Glycine pifta, or painted glycine : leaves ternate, 
lanceolate, villofe ; racemes.axillary, peduiicled ; ftem 
eretf, fhrubby. This is an upright branched Ihrub; 
branches angplar, ftriated, fubtomentofe, with purplifn. 
hairs. Found in Guiana by Aublet, and in the ifland ol 
'I'rinidad by Von Rohr. 
23. Glycine butiacuiata.) or two-fpotted.glycine : ftem 
twilling, fmooth, and even;, leaves fimple, cordate-ob¬ 
long ; racemes many-flowered. This rifes up with a 
twining fhrubby ftalk to the. height of fix or eight feet 
and more; multiplying greatly by age, it becomes loaded 
with a profiifioii of purple flowers growing in racemes ; 
the richnefs of the corolla is enlivened by fvt:o green 
fpots at the bafe of the banner. For the moft part the 
flotvers go off iiere without producing any feed-veffels ; 
perfect feeds, however, have been produced, and a plant 
has flowered from tliem in the garden of JohnOrd, efq. 
at Walliam-green. It begins to flower in February, and 
continues during the fummer. In the nurleries about 
town it is known by the name of G, virens, the aame 
originally given to this plant by Dr. Solander. The 
charablers do not appear to be peculiarly expreflive of 
this genus. This is one of the firft plants from Botany- 
bay tliat flowered in this country, and it is one of the 
moft ornamental.
