Spicato terminali elongate, floribus brevi pedun* 
culatis, verticillatis fasciculatis, fasciculis trifloris. 
Raf.— Erythrina Rob. p. 503. A remarkable 
plant, haviiig much affinity with Erythrina herba- 
cea; the stem is thick, four feet high, the thorns 
axillary, the folioles similar to the leaves of the 
m 
ivy ; the calyx, corolla and fruit are scarlet, the 
spike is very long, the corolla is an inch long, si- 
v^nilar to a sabre, of which the calyx appears to 
be the handle ; the vexillum alone is visible. 
XXVI. N. G. Bradburya. Calyx campanulatus ine- 
qualiter 5 fidus, Corolla papilionacea resupinata, 
Vexillum magnum subrotund um emarginatum 
planum unguiculatum basi callosus, Alas angustas 
intus reflexae carina conniventes, Carina brevis 
erecta emarginata. Staminibus 10 diadelphis 
apice uncinatis : Stylo stigmatoque planis depres- 
sis. Leguminibus angusto linearibus polysper- 
mis. Foliis temails, peclunculis axillaris gemina- 
tis vel bifloris , vexillis maculatis .—Obs. I dedicate 
this new genus to Mr. Bradbury, who in his tra¬ 
vels up the Missouri discovered so many new 
plants. It is perfectly distinct from Glycine , to 
which Robin unites it. Raf.
