Botanist, the late Mr. Munn, who gathered them both in 
flower and fruit on rocks near a stream at Kochman’s Kloofs 
in October. 
Descr. Our plant constitutes a shrub, one or two feet 
high, with virgate, angular branches, copiously leafy. 
Leaves trifoliolate, coriaceous, glaucous, obcordate, retuse 
and mucronate, glabrous, nearly sessile on a short petiole, 
penninerved, with a pair of small, membranous, deciduous 
stipules at the base ofthe petiole. Flowers terminal, at first 
corymbose, crowded, then lengthening into a many-flower- 
ed raceme, upon a toothed rachis, on the teeth of which the 
hairy pedicels are, as it were, articulated. Each pedicel has 
a pair of small, appressed bracteas. Calyx cup-shaped, 
singularly truncated and indented (intrusus) at the base 
where the pedicel is inserted, cut into five blunt, unequal 
teeth at the mouth, hairy. Flowers reddish-purple. Vex- 
allum subrotundate, emarginate, with a short claw, reflexed, 
its sides bent back; on the lower disk is a large, yellowish- 
white four-lobed spot. Ale obovate, spreading in their 
lower margins, almost connivent with the upper. Carina 
acuminate, the point rising above the margins of the ale. 
Stamens monadelphous, with a fissure above. Filaments 
free for a considerable way below the oblong anthers, ten. 
Ovary linear, containing many ovules, and acuminated into 
a long, slender, style, with an obtuse stigma. The pods, 
which I have only seen on native specimens, are erect, two 
to three inches long, flat, coriaceous, glabrous, obscurely 
reticulated, brown, furnished with a thick margin at each 
onge: and terminated by the long, persistent, subulate 
style,
