Root thick and woody. Stems numerous, erect, 6-12 inches high, subsimple or 
branched from below, rigid, densely gland-bristled, pale green. Leaves subdistant, 
the common petiole 1-14 inch long. Leaflets 2-3 lines long, 1-14 wide, usually 
folded together. Peduncles 5-6 inches long, the raceme occupying 2-3 inches from 
the extremity ; pedicels scarcely 1 line long. Legumes 3 inch long, about 8 seeded, 
ing or pendulous, : os brown. Ecklon’s specimens are in very bad order, 
without flowers, and much broken ; they may possibly belong to a distinct but allied 
species. Burchell’s 2157, 2432, 2526, 2538, and 2637, seem to be states of this 
species.

Root thick and woody. Stems numerous, 12-18 inches high, half herbaceous, 
terete, subsimple or branched from below, distantly leafy. Every part of the plant 
covered with gland tipped short bristles. Common petiole 2-3 inches long, the pairs 
of leaflets 3-4 lines apart. Leaflets dull dark green, 4~5 lines long, 2—3 lines wide. 
Peduncles and racemes 6-8-10 inches long. Flowers small and dull. Legumes 
unknown. A taller and more robust plant than J. heterotricha, much more thickly 
and equally glandular, with shorter and more uniform glands.
