Leaflets oblong to oblong-elliptic, -J'-i' long, 2"-5" wide, obtuse or acutish and mucronate, gla- brate above, appressed-pubescent beneath : pet- aliferous flowers few, racemose, spicate at the ends of peduncles which are very slen- der and longer than the leaves; corolla pur- plish, 3"-4" long, a little longer than the calyx; pods of petaliferous flowers oval, acute or acuminate, sparingly pubescent, twice as long as the calyx, those of apetalous flowers less acute, much longer than the calyx. Dry soil, Tennessee to Missouri and Arkansas. 8. Lespedeza Stuvei Nutt. Stuve's Bush- clover. Fig. 2604. Lespedeza Stuvei Nutt. Gen. 2: 107. 1818. Erect or ascending, simple and wand-like or some- times slightljr branched, densely velvety or downy pubescent all over, 2°-4° high. Stipules subulate, 2"-3" long; petioles commonly much shorter than the leaves; leaflets oval, oblong or suborbicular, ob- tuse or refuse at the apex, narrowed or rounded at the base, 6"-io" or rarely 15" long; flowers of both kinds in nearly sessile axillary clusters ; corolla violet- purple, 2"-3" long; pod ovate-oblong to orbicular, acute, or oblong, 2"-3" long, downy-pubescent, much longer than the calyx.
