branched, 1-2 feet long, many stemmed. Common petiole 3-3 inch long ; the pairs 
1—2 lines apart. Leaflets 5~7 lines long, 1 line wide, sometimes nearly flat, mostly. 
with strongly reflexed, thickened margins, variably pubescent. Peduncles filiform, 
3-5 inches long. Flowers purple, 24 lines long. “ Legumes pendulous, scarcely an 
inch long, quite glabrous, acute. A much more slender, less woody plant than J.
