A small genus of North American deciduous shrubs with imparipinnate leaves and small purple or white flowers dis- posed in dense terminal racemose panicles. Only one petal, the upper, is developed in this genus, the others are wanting, hence the generic name. 1. A. fruticdsa. Bastard Indigo.—This is the only species at all common in gardens. It is a shrub about 6 to 9 feet high, with elegant pinnate leaves and purple flowers. There is a narrow-leaved and a small-leaved variety, and one with bluish flowers. 14. GALBGA. Tall erect perennial herbs. Leaves imparipin- nate, leaflets entire ; sti- pules semi-sagittate. Flow- ers white or blue, in ter- minal and axillary racemes. Stamens monadolphous. Style smooth. Legume linear, terete, continuous within. There are three species, from the South of Europe and Western Asia. The name is from rydXa, milk, on account of the herbage being supposed to increase the milk of goats, &c., and hence the English name of Goat's Eue. 1.
