vexillum roundish, plaited at base, with a short recurved claw ; ale 
oblong, with a transverse fold ; carina incurved, obtusely rostrate. 
Stamens separate, or slightly connate at base ; filaments dilated. Ovary 
glabrous, several-ovuled. Legume oblong, compressed, uni-locular, 
bivalve, coriaceous ; seeds strophioliate. Benth. in Hook. Lond. Journ. 
2p. 432. DC. Prod. 2. p. 101. 
Erect, dark-colored or rusty-olivacescent South African shrubs. Leaves sessile, 
palmately trifoliolate ; leaflets narrow, linear, lanceolate or rarely ovate, glabrous or 
pubescent, frequently with revolute margins. Stipules none. Peduncles axillary,
