Brachysema (short standard, referring to the flower). Leguminosae. Shrubs or undershrubs, Australian, making good pillar or climbing plants for greenhouse; allied to Baptisia and Thermopsis. Evergreen: Lvs. opposite or alternate, simple, sometimes reduced to scales: fls. red or yellowish or almost black, solitary or several together or sometimes crowded on short radical scapes, the keel turned upward by the curving of the pedicels; stamens not united with each other: fr. ovoid or elongated, turgid.—About 14 species, a few of which are known in gardening literature. B. acuminatum, Truff. (It. speciosum, Hort.), is now offered as a good red-fld. pillar plant: sub-frutescent: Lvs. opposite, oval-elliptic, entire, more or less narrowed to base and short-petioled, the older ones long-acuminate: fls. deep carmine-red to nearly purple, in short axillary clusters, the corolla much exceeding the yellow-green calyx, the standard very small. H.H. 1866:413.—An attractive free-flowering species.
