Hosackia (David Hosack, professor of botany and medicine in New York; author of "Hortus Elginensi," 1811; died 1835). Leguminosae. Herbaceous plants, three of which have been advertised by collectors of northwest American plants. The genus contains about 40-50 species, all American and mostly confined to the Pacific slope: herbs or rarely subshrubs: lvs. pinnate, with 2 to many lfts.: stipules minute and gland-like, rarely scarious or leafy: fls. yellow or reddish, in axillary umbels which are peduncled or not.—The genus is closely related to Lotus, with which some authors unite it, but the calyx-teeth are shorter than the tube: keel obtuse: lvs. usually with numerous lfts., none of which is like stipules, while Lotus has calyx-lobes usually longer than the tube, a rostrate keel and 5 or 4 lfts., of which 2 or 1 are stipule- like. The two species first mentioned belong to a section in which the pods arc shortly acute, linear, many- seeded, straight, glabrous: fls. and fr. not reflexed: peduncles long. The third species belongs to a section in which the pods are long-attenuate upward, incurved, pubescent: peduncles short or none: fls. and fr. reflexed. See Lotus.
