Near the preceding, but readily known by the form of corolla. It varies with 
stem and leaves hairy, hirsute or glabrescent, leaflets longer or shorter, wider or 
narrower, obtuse or sub-acute ; peduncles longer or shorter, and filaments glabrous 
and glandular. 
84. 0. brevicaulis (Sond.) ; the very short stem and prostrate branches 
ramulous, leafy, hairy, at length glabrous ; leaves petiolate; the petiole 
shorter than the leaflets, leaflets petiolulate, broadly obovate or sub-ro- 
tund, obtuse, apiculate, or emarginate, glabrous above, hairy underneath ; 
peduncles axillary, much longer than the leaf, deflexed after flowering ; 
the setaceous bracteoles and the calyces hairy; sepals lanceolate, 5-6 
times shorter than the corolla, whose tube is 14-twice as long as the 
limb. 0. reptatrix, HE. Mey./
