This is another plant so closely allied to L tenella and incompima, that 1 



ipulate with very 



in. long (from standard to iip of wings), and a short stout incurved spur ;^ hut ^^"y | ^ 

 Buecimens have more often broadly oblong shortly.petioled leaves, sometimes rounae 

 the tip. Rottler'8 specimens are excfesbivelv slender and flaccid. The spur is tol^^^J 

 uniform in all, being horned, and the peduncles invariably glabrous; the capsuie
