Flcnvers: growing in racemes on slender axillary peduncles Calvx â of fiv^ almost separate sepals. Corolla : of five nearly ejual^e als two oi whirl, Z dotted with reddish purple at the base. ^; ten ; an her ?r ^ and often imperfect. Pods: long; hairy. Z.,, ci'^^^^^^^^^^^ hav^-n? t»">"e narrowly oblong leaflets tipped with a little poi at he to , an If there are rebels among the flowers the wild senna surely is one ; for it has, apparently without rhyme or reason, deserted the papdionaceous corolla of the pulse family to which it formerly belonged. It is a common species in the north ; and for its beauty has been cultivated in gardens. The dried leaves and pods are well known in medicine, being used for similar pur- poses as those for which the oriental senna is employed. Wild senna is found much more frequently in wet meadows or marshes than it is in sandy soil. COLOUR ywiow.
