I have only two specimens of this remarkable little plant, gathered with 

 the preceding. The root is very stout, bearing a tuft of short branches 

 and very short flower-bearing ramuli; the flowers are about the same size 

 as the preceding ; the erect siliquse appear fastigiate owing to the number of 

 small branches given off from the root, and are broader, flatter, and less 

 keeled than in any of its allies. The very long strict funicles are a curious 

 character.
