Piptanthus (Greek, to fall, and a flower; the teeth of the calyx, petals, and stamens fall off soon). Legum- inosae. Two shrubs natives of the mountains of southern Asia, grown for ornament. Plants 3-10 ft. high: lvs. digitately 3-foliate: fls. racemose, bracted; calyx campanulate, 5-toothed; teeth equal, lanceolate; corolla 3 times longer than the calyx; petals all with long claws; standard orbicular, erect, margins reflexed; wings obovate; keel obovate-oblong, connate down the back, slightly incurved; stamens free; anthers uniform; ovary linear, stalked, downy, 6-10-ovuled; style filiform, incurved; stigma minute, terminal: pod linear, flattened, continuous within. Closely related to Baptisia and Thermopsis, from which it is at once distinguished by having its stipules opposite-connate instead of free or wanting as in those genera. As yet but little known in U. S.
