Some of our friends conceive this plant to differ from that which is figured in the Botanical Magazine, No. 490. It is true, I found the seed-bud quite silky; and if the full grown pod (which I never saw[F]) should likewise be so, it would certainly be worthy distinguishing from that plant, which is said to have smooth, and therefore, in all probability, naked pods.
[F] Neither have I yet seen the pod of the Crotolaria figured in the last number, which, if it should prove cylindrical and not turgid, would refer that plant to the genus Lebeckia, with which in habit it very well accords.[Pg 125]
