4-1 in. long, indehiscent, obovoid, turgid, compressed from back to front 
so that the width is greater than the depth; valves reticulate ; beak short,

November—December. 
This can be distinguished from the other species of the section Huttonella by the 
crowded terete branchlets, long and lax racemes of rather large flowers, and the larger 
pod. 
- 19. C. eurta Petrie in Trans. N.Z. Inst. xxv (1893) 271—\An- erect 
sparingly branched glabrous shrub 1-2 ft. high. Branchlets 25-7’; in. 
broad, slender, terete or nearly so, subcompressed at the tips, grooved or 
striate. Leaves not seen. Racemes variable in length, distant, 6—L0- 
flowered ; rhachis elongating after flowering ; pedicels short, silky. Flowers 
Lin. long. Calyx more or less pubescent, campanulate ; teeth short, acute. 
Standard broader than long, retuse, exceeding the wings; keel with a short 
claw. Ovary silky. Pod 4-7 in. long, pendulous, turgid, oblong-obovoid,

Allied to O. juncea, but separated by the longer distant racemes, larger flowers, 
and larger pod. In none of the flowers which I have examined could I find the callosity 
on the wings mentioned by Mr. Kirk.
