A strong, woody, densely branched bush, a foot or more in height : variably pu- 
bescent, sometimes hispid, sometimes but sparsely strigose. Petioles 3-5 lines long. 
Leaflets 7-14 lines long, 3-5 lines wide, varying from obovate to narrow-oblong or 
sublanceolate. Racemes sometimes springing near the end of short ramuli, from the 
axils of depauperated leaves, and thus seemingly terminal, at other times axillary 
from the ordinary rameal leaves. Bracts broad, quite enclosing the young flower- 
buds, glaucous or livid-purplish. Flowers handsome, pink or crimson, 3-4 lines long.
