nevertheless, from three projecting dots on its sides, 
to have a triangular appearance. Under a powerful lens, 
it will be distinctly seen that these three seeming dots 
represent three vertical projecting ribs, by which the pollen 
’ is banded, very much as the capsules of some Orchidee. 
Leaves bipinnate, downy; leaflets with an odd one, 
ovate-rhomboid, acute, very unequal; the lower ones very 
small, and rounder than the others. Peduncles axillary, 
3-flowered, downy, with little bracteole. Calyr campanu- 
late, obtuse at the base, 5-toothed; teeth short, ovate, 
equal. Corolla dark-purple, downy externally, with a 
short tube, not more than twice the length of the calyx; 
limb tubular-campanulate, 14 inch long, arcuate, with 
retuse, nearly equal segments, and a pale spot under 
the upper lip. Stamens 4, didynamous, the fifth being 
sterile, filiform, subclavate, nearly as long as the limb, and 
bearded ; filaments smooth, with a few glandular hairs at 
the base ; anthers 2-celled, with very spreading cells, which . 
are acuminate at the base. Pollen fuscous, spherical, 
confined by three projecting bands, whence it seems as if 
3-cornered.
