{{Inc| Lonchocarpus (lance-fruit, from the shape of the pod). Leguminosae. Trees or climbing shrubs, in many species, in Trop. Amer. and Afr. and Austral., apparently not in the trade and little cult. Lvs. alternate, odd-pinnate, the lfts. opposite and sometimes stipellate: fls. papilionaceous, violet, purple or white, racemose or paniculate: standard very broad or rarely linear-oblong; wings oblique or falcate, lightly adhering to keel above the claw; keel arcuate or nearly straight; stamens 9 and 1: pod oblong or elongated, flat, indehiscent, the seeds few or only 1. An indigo is secured from the genus. L. Barteri, Benth., is a glabrous climber from Guinea: lfts. 5-7, oblong, 5-6 in. long: fls. rose- colored, in clusters of 8 or 10. B.M. 6943. Said to be a good climber for the warmhouse. L. roseus, DC., from S. Amer. has lfts. 13-15, lanceolate, acuminate: fls. large and showy, rose-colored. L. lotifolius, HBK., W. Indies, Cent. Amer. to S. Amer., a shrub or tree, has 2-4 pairs of elliptic or lance-oblong lfts., and pale purple fls. On L. speciosus, Bolus, about 10 years ago Harms founded the genus Bolusanthus (B. speciosus, Harms). It is described by Bolus as a very distinct species with large and handsome bright blue fls.: tree. 15 ft. or more: lvs. stalked, the lfts. oblique-lanceolate and very acuminate: fls. 10-30 in terminal recurved or pendulous racemes. Delagoa and Transvaal.—Probably not cult. to any extent. }} ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
