Similar to the preceding but generally stouter, villous-pubescent throughout with reflexed brown hairs. Leaflets larger and thicker, sometimes 4' long; pedicels mostly shorter than the nearly orbicular canescent bracts; ovary and pods of the petaliferous flowers pubescent throughout, subterranean fruit less abundantly produced than in F. comosa; calyx larger. Moist thickets, Massachtisetts to Virginia, New York, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas. Perhaps a race of the preceding spe- cies. 46. GALACTIA P. Br.; Adans. Fam. PI. 2: 322. 1763. Prostrate or climbing perennial vines (sometimes erect and shrubby), mainly with pm- nately 3-foliolate leaves, small and deciduous stipules, and purple or violet axillary racemose flowers. Calyx 4-lobed, bracteolate, the lobes acute, often as long as the tube. Standard orbicular or obovate. Wings narrow, obovate, adherent to the narrow, nearly straight keel. Stamens diadelphous or nearly so (9 and l) ; anthers all alike. Ovary nearly sessile ; ovules 00 ; style filiform, not bearded. Pod linear, straight or slightly curved, usually flattened, 2-valved, several-seeded. Fleshy few-seeded pods are sometimes produced from subterranean apetalous flowers. [Greek, milk-yielding, the typical species described as having milky branches.] About 70 species natives of warm and temperate regions, most abundant in America. Besides the following, about 25 others occur in the southern and southwestern states.
