Among the largest and handsomest of all the Trefoils, and at the same time the most singular. In some 

 of our specimens the stipules are an inch long, and nearly J of an inch broad, and the fructified capitula are 

 more than two inches in diameter.

Allied to P. pubescens, which we have from Peru, but that is much more hairy, the leaflets are broader at 

 the base, the calyx rough with glands, and the corollas smaller.
