A small slender flexuosely and diffusely branched villous 
shrub about 2 or 3 feet high in the samples we have seen. 
Leaves widishly scattered, ternate, without stipules? com- 
mon petiole upright straight furred scarcely an inch long, 
with a furrow, leaflets ovally-oblong, lanceolate, tapered at 
both ends, about 14 inch long or thereabout, smooth on the 
upper side except on the nerves and veins, covered with a 
grey nap at the under, side ones rather smaller than the 
middle one, partial petioles exceedingly short flexile (mere 
joints). Racemes terminal, solitary, upright, straight, 3-5 
inches long, many-flowered, peduncle green with a roughish 
tawny nap; flowers loosishly scattered, reddish yellow, re- 
flexed, rather less than half an inch in length; pedicles 
single, twice shorter than the calyx, recurved, round, with a 
twice shorter deflexed linearly subulate villous bracte at 
their base with one or two other very small close-pressed 
ones situated higher up. Calyx tawny-green, villous, about 
` 3 shorter than the corolla or thereabouts, 5-cleft for about 
3 of the length, 10-nerved, with a shallow brownish tube 
and bilabiately spreading lanceolately tapered equal seg- 
ments. Vexillum (upper petal) cordately orbicular reflexed 
to the pedicle, mucronate (with a small distinct point) 
marked with a violet-coloured radiately bordered spot at the 
base: ale (side-petals) twice narrower than the vexillum 
and carina or more, connivent, cuneately oblong, rounded 
at the end: carina (the two lower petals conjoined) bloat- 
edly falcate, taper-pointed, pale, green at the tip. Fila- 
ment monadelphous, 10-cleft down to about the middle, 
tubular below with a dorsal fissure reaching to the base: 
anthers deep yellow, oblong, upright, inserted at the base. 
Germen green, short-stalked, silky, oblong, compressed, 
many (10?)-seeded; style twice the length of the germen, 
green, subulate, geniculately turned up, upright at the up- 
per part and whitely bearded along the inner edge: stigma 
a small white pencil placed above the naked interval at 
the end of the style and appearing as if stalked. Pod pe- 
dicled, pale, scarcely an inch long, oblong, bloated, co- 
vered with a close-pressed fur, stiffly membranous, ter- 
minated by the permanent style: seeds 2-4?
