‘Apparently prostrate, the branches spreading to all sides and angularly bent ; the

uncial, with a pulvinate cluster of dark-brown glands in place of stipules, and smaller 
tufts of similar glands as stipella between the leaflets. Leaflets 2-3 lines long, 14

or twice as long as the leaves. Legumes 3-4 lines long, very turgid and hairy ; like 
those of J. ertocarpa.
