This is one of many genera of Australian shrubs with pea- like fls. which are little known in cultivation. For winter bloom under glass none of them equals CytiSiis Cayiariensis. Oxylobiura is a genus of 28 species, of which perhaps a dozen have been cult, in Europe. Their fls. are yellow, or more or less finshed'with red on the keel or the base of the standard. O, Callistachys is per- haps the best for conservatories. In Amei-ica it is cult, only in S. Calif. Generic characters: Ivs. verj"^ short-stalked, opposite or more or less whorled, rarely scattered or alternate: fls. in terminal or axillary racemes; petals clawed; sta- mens free: ovary villous, sessile or stalked, 4^30-ovuled. Nearest to Chorizema, but the keel is about as long as the wings, while in Chorizema the keel is much shorter. The following species was considered the type of another ^enus; it is distinguished from all other species of Oxy- lobiura by the incomplete dehiscence of the pod. See Flora Australiensis 2:14 (1864). Callistachys, Benth. Tall shrub: Ivs. mostly in ir- regular whorls of 3, varying from ovate-oblong and l%-~ in. long to lanceolate and 4-5 in. long, leathery, silky-pubescent beneath when young: racemes oblong or pyramidal, 2-6 in. long. 3:216 (as CalUstaeJiys lanceolata), 1925 (as C. ovata). 8:31 (as O. longi
